Auricular Acupuncture for Treatment of Preoperative Anxiety — AcuAnx  

Anxiety Clinical Trial

Official title:
Auricular Acupuncture vs. Standard Therapy for Treatment of Preoperative Anxiety in Patients Scheduled for Ambulatory Gynaecological Surgery - a Pilot Non-randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

In this prospective nonrandomized study the investigators are going to investigate whether auricular acupuncture with indwelling fixed needles is feasible for treatment of preoperative anxiety.

Patients, scheduled for ambulatory gynecologic surgery, will be asked, if they wish to receive auricular acupuncture (AA) against preoperative anxiety. The patients who will not wish AA, will be asked to take part in questioning (State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory (STAI) questionnaire) and will form the control group. The preoperative anxiety using STAI, as well as the duration and quality of sleep on the night before surgery, the incidence of side effects, blood pressure and heart rate will be the outcome measures in this study.
