Postoperative Sleep Quality and Pain of Patients After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
Sponsor: Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to to explore the effect of perioperative transcutaneous acupoint acupuncture and moxibustion stimulation on sleep quality and postoperative chronic pain in patients undergoing thoracoscopic assisted radical resection of lung cancer, and explore its potential mechanism. This clinical trial focus on the following questions: Whether perioperative transcutaneous acupoint acupuncture and moxibustion stimulation reduce the incidence of Postoperative Sleep Disorder and postoperative acute and chronic pain ? What medical problems do participants have when taking acupuncture? Researchers will compare acupuncture to sham acupuncture (Non transdermal comfort needles can cause patients to experience a needle like sensation; similar to when the needle is inserted into the skin, but in reality, it does not break the skin) to see if acupuncture works to reduce the incidence of Postoperative Sleep Disorder and postoperative acute and chronic pain. Participants will: Take acupuncture or a sham acupuncture every day for 3 days(the night before surgery, the night of surgery and the first night after surgery). On the day before surgery, the first day after surgery, the second day after surgery, and the day before discharge, the sleep status should be continuously monitored using a sleep monitoring screening device (ZG-S01D) The incidence of pain is determined by whether there is pain (including all discomfort) during patient follow-up.

Interventions
Acupuncture
Administer medication at each acupoint a total of three times: (1) the night before surgery, (2) the night of surgery, and (3) the first night after surgery. In the acupuncture group, the acupuncture and moxibustion successively acupunctured four points with a depth of 10-20mm. Select the specific depth based on the subject\'s body type (tall, short, fat, thin). After the puncture, the acupuncture and moxibustion lifted and twisted the needle handle, and then retained the needle for 20 minutes.
Sham-acupuncture stimulation
The sham acupuncture group received non skin breaking comfort needles at the corresponding points for acupuncture and moxibustion and retained the needles for 20 minutes. Non transdermal comfort needles can cause patients to experience a needle like sensation similar to piercing the skin, but in reality, they do not break the skin.
