Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of auricular acupressure in improving post-cervical spine surgery pain and heart rate variability in patients.


Clinical Trial Description

This study adopts a quasi-experimental research design, where a medical center in northern Taiwan served as the enrollment location. Both the experimental group and the control group received standard ward care. The experimental group commenced auricular acupressure intervention post-surgery. Questionnaire assessments and heart rate variability measurements were conducted in the experimental group on the first, second, third, and fourth days before discharge. The control group did not receive auricular acupressure and underwent only questionnaire assessments and heart rate variability testing. Measurement tools included the McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Heart Master wrist-worn physiological monitor. ;
