Ear seeds for surgery strength? study tests ancient technique on modern patients
NCT ID NCT06516198
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a simple ear acupressure technique can boost the benefits of standard pre-surgery exercise programs (prehabilitation) for people facing major lung surgery. Researchers will give 40 participants small seeds to press on specific points of their ear, aiming to improve their energy, sleep, and appetite during their preparation period. The goal is to see if this complementary approach helps patients feel better and get stronger before their operation.
