Ear acupuncture during surgery could slash opioid use for hip patients
NCT ID NCT05384860
Summary
This study tested if adding acupuncture during hip replacement surgery helps patients recover faster. Researchers placed tiny needles in patients' ears while they were under anesthesia to see if it reduced pain and the need for opioid painkillers after surgery. The goal was to help patients go home sooner and have a more comfortable recovery with fewer side effects from strong medications.
