Ear Acupuncture for Pain Associated With Ambulatory Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pain
In brief
The investigators propose to complete a randomized controlled trial to compare ear acupuncture at Cingulate gyrus, thalamus, omega 2, shen-men, and point zero on the right and left ear plus standard of care versus standard of care alone for symptomatic treatment of pain following ambulatory arthroscopic knee surgery. After the subject has been discharged, phone calls, emails or text messages will be made at 24 and 48 hours, 1 week and 1 month. These contacts will be used to assess the subject's pain level, ambulation status, doses of analgesics taken and time to return to full duty. At 1 week and 1 month, subjects will be asked the PIQ-6 Pain Impact Questionnaire.
