Summary

This study looks at whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help women who have trouble urinating after surgery for cervical cancer. About 208 participants will receive either real or fake electroacupuncture alongside standard care. The main goal is to see if more women can successfully remove their urinary catheter and regain normal bladder function.
