Abstract
Objectives: One of the key points within the ERAS concept is control of pain and PONV syndrome induced by abdominal surgical procedures. Acupuncture (AC) is widely accepted for pain and an FDA-approved therapy for nausea. To integrate AC in ERAS we set three preconditions: (1) rational access to the functional AC diagnostics the basis of ACpoint selection, (2) proof of efficacy and safety and (3) quality control. We are collecting first data to create a study design with enhanced objectivity, measurability and even double blinding in order to exclude suggestive and placebo-like effects.
