Summary

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive ear acupressure technique can help people aged 50 and older feel better and stronger while waiting for lung surgery. Participants will have small seeds placed on their ears and press them daily. The goal is to see if this approach improves appetite, energy, anxiety, pain, and sleep before the operation.
