Summary

This study looked at whether placing tiny needles under the skin (intradermal needle therapy) can reduce pain after a stomach procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). 76 patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus the needle therapy. Researchers tracked pain levels, medication use, and side effects for 72 hours after surgery. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to manage post-surgery pain.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
intradermal needle therapy (acupuncture-like device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to manage pain after stomach surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 76 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the therapy may not be more effective than standard care.
