The Effect of Auriculotherapy on the Treatment of Postoperative Pain in Outpatient Rhizarthrosis Surgery
Sponsor: Clinique Bizet
Summary
Auriculotherapy has demonstrated promising potential in the management of postoperative pain. Additionally, one study reported encouraging outcomes regarding the reduction of anxiety levels among patients in primary healthcare settings. Nevertheless, further high-quality research is required to substantiate these findings and to support the integration of auriculotherapy into standardized therapeutic protocols. The objective of this prospective, comparative, double-blind study is to assess the efficacy of auricular acupuncture in the management of postoperative pain following outpatient prosthetic surgery for rhizarthrosis

surgery / procedures : Outpatient surgery (thumb osteoarthritis). On the day of the procedure, the patient arrives on an outpatient basis, is positioned on a stretcher, and is then taken to the pre-anesthesia room where regional anesthesia is performed. The block is carried out under ultrasound guidance following a standardized protocol. The patient is then transferred to the operating room, where the tourniquet is applied. The surgical technique is endoscopic, following the AGEE method. At the end of the procedure, the surgeon places two or three absorbable sutures (4/0 or 5/0) on the thinnest areas of skin. The sutures are then covered with a dressing.
