Overview

Auriculotherapy has demonstrated promising potential in the management of postoperative pain. Additionally, one study reported encouraging outcomes regarding the reduction of anxiety levels among patients in primary healthcare settings. Nevertheless, further high-quality research is required to substantiate these findings and to support the integration of auriculotherapy into standardized therapeutic protocols.

The objective of this prospective, comparative, double-blind study is to assess the efficacy of auricular acupuncture in the management of postoperative pain following outpatient prosthetic surgery for rhizarthrosis
