Summary

This study tests whether auriculotherapy (a type of ear acupuncture) can help manage pain after carpal tunnel surgery. Fifty adults will receive either real or sham auriculotherapy before surgery, and their pain levels will be tracked for three days afterward. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can reduce pain and the need for painkillers.
