NCT ID NCT07515027
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) with a standard nausea drug can prevent vomiting after lung cancer surgery. The trial will include 204 high-risk patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. The main goal is to see if fewer people experience nausea or vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery.
