Summary

This study looks at whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help women who have trouble urinating after radical surgery for cervical cancer. About 208 participants will either get real or fake electroacupuncture alongside standard care. The goal is to see if the treatment helps them remove their urinary catheter sooner and improves their quality of life.
