Floating Needle Treatment for Stomach Issues After Knee Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese acupuncture technique called 'floating needle' can help with stomach and bowel problems that sometimes happen after knee surgery under general anesthesia. You would receive this treatment along with standard post-surgery care to see if it reduces nausea, constipation, or other digestive issues.
