First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to specific acupoints (like on the hand and leg) can help people with cirrhosis tolerate an urgent, unsedated endoscopy for suspected variceal bleeding. 180 participants were randomly assigned to receive active stimulation, sham stimulation, or standard care. The goal was to see if the stimulation improves procedure success and reduces discomfort.
