Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Surgical control group (Group A)
Patients who received ear acupuncture treatment (≥ 1 time) due to perioperative anxiety, pain, prevention/treatment of DGF, or other indications for ear acupuncture treatment in actual diagnosis and treatment were divided into two groups based on exposure factors. Patients who received ear acupuncture treatment were included in the surgical observation group (Group B), while other patients were included in the surgical control group (Group A). Both groups of patients were from the basic surgical ward of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and were planning to undergo abdominal surgeries such as Whipple, pancreaticoidectomy, and subtotal gastrectomy;

Auricular Acupoint Therapy
Ear point diagnosis and treatment is one of acupuncture and moxibustion methods, which originates from the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion meridians and is the product of the combination of modern Chinese medicine and western medicine, including two parts: auricular acupoint diagnosis and auriculotherapy. Ear point diagnosis refers to the determination of auricle positive reaction points through vision, touch, pressure and other methods to diagnose diseases in some parts of the body on the basis of ear point theory. Ear point treatment refers to the use of certain therapeutic devices on ear points to achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment of diseases by stimulating ear points, which are often carried out simultaneously in clinical practice.
Healthy control group (Group C)
According to the surgical observation group (Group B), the healthy control group (Group C) consisted of healthy volunteers from the same period at the Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Health Examination Center.
