Summary

To lessen related side effects, opioids are used as needed to treat pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Research into the efficacy of acupuncture as an adjunct treatment for postoperative patients has gained traction. However, the findings of these studies are inconsistent. It has been suggested that acupuncture may not influence postoperative pain, whereas studies involving various surgical procedures have reported favorable results. Nonetheless, there is scant evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of acupuncture in managing pain following LC. In order to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in reducing postoperative pain in patients following LC, this study was created.

The study's objective was to reduce postoperative pain in order to improve the results of LC surgeries.

Fifty patients participated in this prospective randomized controlled interventional study, split equally between two groups.
