Needles in ears aim to cut opioid painkillers after surgery

NCT ID NCT05984433

Summary

This study aimed to see if adding ear acupuncture during surgery could help patients use fewer opioid painkillers after having an ankle fracture repaired. It planned to compare patients who received the acupuncture along with standard pain control to those who received standard care alone. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
