Pain Relief Effect of Angiopuncture for Patients With Postoperative Pain

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of angiopuncture therapy in pain alleviation for postoperative pain patients. The study involved patients aged 20-65 with acute foot and ankle trauma and pain after surgery. Physicians used handheld ultrasound Doppler to measure perforators, puncture participants with a filiform needle, and monitor pain scores and heart rate data before and after acupuncture. The duration of therapy was 20 minutes per day for 72 hours, with pain measured using the numerical rating scale. The study aimed to compare the outcomes before and after angiopuncture.
