Study Arms:
- Standard Oral Hygiene (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): All patients will receive standard oral hygiene patient teaching information that includes instructions regarding mouth rinses, use of lip balms, use of mild fluoride toothpaste, the importance of adequate oral hydration, and other standard advice. Each participating site determines the standard oral hygiene recommendations used at their site.
- Standard Oral Hygiene + True Acupuncture (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): All patients will receive standard oral hygiene patient teaching information that includes instructions regarding mouth rinses, use of lip balms, use of mild fluoride toothpaste, the importance of adequate oral hydration, and other standard advice. Each participating site determines the standard oral hygiene recommendations used at their site.~The True acupuncture points will be at 3 sites on each ear, a site on the chin, on each forearm, a site on each hand, a site on each leg, and one placebo needle for a total of 14 sites. All sites will be applied for 20 minutes.
- Standard Oral Hygiene + Sham Acupuncture (Type: OTHER): All patients will receive standard oral hygiene patient teaching information that includes instructions regarding mouth rinses, use of lip balms, use of mild fluoride toothpaste, the importance of adequate oral hydration, and other standard advice. Each participating site determines the standard oral hygiene recommendations used at their site.~The Sham acupuncture points will be given according to the same schedule as the active acupuncture points, except the Sham needles will be placed below, above or between true active points.

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
