Sponsor: GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Over the past decade, more and more healthcare professionals are using auriculotherapy as a preventative and effective therapy for pain. This therapy is applied by odontologists, anesthetists, surgeons, etc., to alleviate chronic pain. The effects of auriculotherapy are known in particular in reducing preoperative anxiety, pain in cancer patients and postoperative pain. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding auriculotherapy to the standard global anesthetic protocol, compared to this single reference protocol, on the incidence at 3 months post-intervention of Chronic Post-Surgical Pain, in patients operated for a mastectomy with reconstruction immediate by latissimus dorsi flap.
