Acupressure for shoulder pain after lung surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle acupressure technique called TEAS can help relieve shoulder pain that often occurs after lung surgery using a video-assisted scope. If you are having surgery on one lung and do not already have shoulder pain, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
