Needles vs. pills: can ancient practice ease modern surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT04560712
Summary
This study is testing whether adding acupuncture to standard care helps manage pain after major abdominal surgery for cancers like colorectal or pancreatic. About 70 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either daily acupuncture sessions for a week after surgery or usual pain management alone. Researchers will compare pain levels, opioid medication use, and recovery speed between the two groups.
