Summary
This study tested whether adding acupuncture to standard anti-nausea medication can better prevent nausea and vomiting after gallbladder removal surgery. 270 adults scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy received either acupuncture at specific points plus standard drugs, or standard drugs alone.
