Summary

This study tests whether adding ear acupressure (tiny needles on ear points) to standard painkillers helps adults with kidney stone pain feel better faster. 116 adults aged 15-75 with moderate-to-severe pain will rate their pain over 60 minutes in the ER. The goal is to see if this low-risk, drug-free method provides quicker relief without extra side effects.
