Brief Summary:
Complementary medicine is recognized for its ability to enhance appetite increase energy reduce anxiety decrease pain and improve sleep among many other benefits Acupuncture is among the most frequent types of complementary medicine practiced in the US and Medicare currently includes back pain as a reimbursable indication for this therapy Acupuncture-related therapies may enhance efforts at prehabilitation in candidates for major lung resection
Detailed Description:
The plan is to use a small number of points for auricular acupressure that are selected to improve overall health both physical and mental Auricular acupuncture for management of pain using 5 points informally referred to as battlefield acupuncture has demonstrated significant improvement in acute and chronic pain management Auricular acupressure using a similarly small number of points has demonstrated improvement in chemotherapy-related disturbed sleep fatigue and appetite postpartum depression and fatigue and chemotherapy related fatigue and depression It appears that auricular acupressure may be suitable for enhancing prehabilitation interventions for preoperative patients
Patients will be selected from among individuals being considered for major lung surgery wedge resection segmentectomy lobectomy bilobectomy or pneumonectomy open or minimally invasive who are expected to pursue a period of prehabilitation of 2 or more weeks prior to surgery
