Ear acupuncture during surgery aims to slash painkiller use after hip replacements
NCT ID NCT05384860
Summary
This study tested whether adding acupuncture to a standard recovery plan helps people after hip replacement surgery. Researchers placed tiny needles in patients' ears during surgery to see if it would reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, and lower the need for opioid pain medication. The goal was to create a faster, safer recovery process with less reliance on strong painkillers.
