In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Acupuncture and Peripheral Nerve Stimulator for Knee Osteoarthritis and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The majority of patients undergoing total knee replacement(TKR) rely on opioids for postoperative analgesia. These medications have undesirable side effects and potential for abuse and addiction. The aim of this cohort study is to determine the incidence rate of patients who are able to maintain a low dose opioid regimen after TKR with the use of a multimodal approach that includes intraoperative auricular acupuncture protocol.
