Experimental group acupuncture(snap-needle)

Patients in the acupuncture group received acupuncture therapy (snap-needle therapy) for 24 hours. Results of the study were collected at six assessment periods of 0-0.5 h, 0-1 h, 1-3 h, 4-6h, 6-12 h, and 12-24 h after anesthesia. Conducted by an independent researcher.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Acupuncture therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

After disinfecting (alcohol or 0.9% Normal saline) the skin at the acupuncture point, use small tweezers to clip the handle of the needle, remove the adhesive tape and stab the acupuncture point at a perpendicular angle, and then press the thumb with moderate pressure on the snap-needle embedded needle site in order for the patient to feel localized soreness and distension as appropriate. The snap-needle was removed after 24 hours, and the pressing time point remained unchanged.

Experimental Ginger

Patients in the Ginger Acupuncture Point Patch group received ginger patch therapy and the ginger patch was removed within 6h. Study results were collected at six assessment periods of 0-0.5h, 0-1h, 1-3h, 4-6h, 6-12h, and 12-24h after anesthesia. Conducted by an independent researcher.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ginger Acupuncture Point Patch

Intervention Type OTHER

Ginger was thinly sliced and then cut into 2-3cm diameter ginger discs according to a circular mold and covered with a sterile circular dressing. The ginger compress was removed within 6 hours.

Experimental group Acupuncture combined with ginger

Patients in the Acupuncture combined with ginger group received acupuncture treatment (snap-needle therapy) combined with ginger compresses, which were removed within 6h and snap-needles were removed after 24 hours. Study results were collected at six assessment periods of 0-0.5h, 0-1h, 1-3h, 4-6h, 6-12h, and 12-24h after anesthesia. Conducted by an independent researcher.
