Journal Title: TMR Non-Drug Therapy - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of perioperative acupuncture on postoperative pain in patients undergoing standard sternotomy. Methods: 57 patients who received standard median sternotomy were randomly divided into acupuncture group (30 cases) and control group (27 cases). The control group was treated with routine operation and nursing, and the acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture for 10 days on the basis of perioperative period. The pain levels of the two groups before and after operation were compared. Results: The pain level of the acupuncture group was significantly lower than that of the control group on the 2nd, 10th, and 30th days after operation (P < 0.05), and the short-term pain levels in the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The perioperative acupuncture treatment has a significant analgesic effect on short-term pain for patients undergoing anterior midline thoracotomy, and it is helpful for patients to recover quickly after surgery.
