Summary
This study tested whether adding acupuncture to standard recovery care helps the digestive system recover faster after colon cancer surgery. 70 patients were split into two groups: one received standard care alone, the other also got acupuncture sessions twice a day for three days after surgery. Results showed that the acupuncture group passed gas about 23 hours earlier, had less pain, and went home about one day sooner.
