Auricular Acupressure as a Non-Opioid Adjuvant in Opioid Tolerant Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of auricular acupressure to the typical pharmacological regimen given to patients on the chronic pain/addiction service will lower pain scores and decrease pain medication usage.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be asked to complete baseline questionnaires. After completion, a study interventionist will place 10 adhesive acupressure pads./seeds on the participant's ears, 5 acupressure pads per ear. The pads will be placed on specific sites of the ear that are thought to help with pain and overall well-being. Over the course of 3 days, participants will be asked to apply a small amount of pressure with their finger to each of the pads and answer study questionnaires. This feasibility trial is being performed in collaboration with the Battlefield Auricular Acupressure (BAApress) Training and Intervention Fidelity study (IRB00084011). ;
