Summary
This study tested whether placing small seeds on specific points of the ear (auricular acupressure) can help reduce pain after a cesarean section. Seventy women who had a C-section were randomly assigned to receive either real acupressure seeds or fake (sham) patches on both ears. Researchers measured their pain levels and how much extra pain medication they needed during the first 48 hours after delivery.
