Ancient needles speed modern surgery recovery, study finds
NCT ID NCT07335237
Summary
This study tested whether adding acupuncture to standard post-surgery recovery care helps patients feel better faster. 70 patients having colon cancer surgery were split into two groups: one received standard care, and the other received standard care plus acupuncture for three days after surgery. The results showed the acupuncture group passed gas about a day sooner, had less pain, and left the hospital a day earlier on average.
