Summary
This study tested whether ear acupoint therapy (a type of acupuncture on the ear) can help people recover better after total knee replacement surgery. 116 adults aged 50-80 who had knee replacement received ear acupoint therapy along with standard care. The goal was to see if it reduced pain, swelling, anxiety, and improved knee movement and scar healing. Results may show a simple, low-cost way to boost recovery after surgery.
