Effects of Auricular Acupressure on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients With Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common among females undergoing gynecological surgeries. PONV not only causes patients discomfort but also leads to serious complications, affecting their health outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of applying auricular acupressure to alleviate PONV and postoperative anxiety and to improve satisfaction with anesthesia care in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery (GLS).
