Summary

This study planned to test whether giving ear acupuncture during wrist surgery could lower the amount of opioid painkillers patients need afterward. It was designed for adults aged 18-64 having a specific type of wrist fracture repair. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
