Official title
Impact of Auriculotherapy on Postoperative Pain in Patients Undergoing Surgery for SCC. Parallel, Randomized, and Double-Blind Comparative Study
Overview
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 - Other real auricolothery
3 days before the intervention, patients will have an auriculotherapy session with an experimental group - Other sham auriculotherapy
3 days before the intervention, patients will have an auriculotherapy session with an sham group
Primary outcome measures
- Evaluation of Postoperative Pain After Carpal Tunnel Surgery From Day 1 to Day 3, Based on Real or Sham Auriculotherapy Sessions [Time frame: day1 to day 3]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Evaluation of the Effects of Real or Sham Auriculotherapy Sessions on Analgesic Consumption [Time frame: Follow-up Logbook from Day 1 to Day 3]
