ID: NCT06779812
Our intelligence engine has synthesized this trial record to answer your most important questions in clear, simple terms:
Auriculotherapy shows promising potential for pain management in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Studies have demonstrated encouraging results in pain reduction and improvement in quality of life. However, further research is required to strengthen these findings and fully integrate auriculotherapy into standard treatment protocols for CTS. this prospective, double-blind comparative study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture in managing postoperative pain following outpatient carpal tunnel surgery
Carpal tunnel surgery is performed endoscopically, using smaller incisions. Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive method that allows for faster and less painful recovery
3 days before the intervention, patients will have an auriculotherapy session with an experimental group
3 days before the intervention, patients will have an auriculotherapy session with an sham group
