Official title

Intraoperative Acupuncture for Low-Dose Opioid Total Knee Replacement: An Observational Prospective Cohort Study

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The majority of patients undergoing total knee replacement(TKR) rely on opioids for postoperative analgesia. These medications have undesirable side effects and potential for abuse and addiction. The aim of this cohort study is to determine the incidence rate of patients who are able to maintain a low dose opioid regimen after TKR with the use of a multimodal approach that includes intraoperative auricular acupuncture protocol.
