Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of auricular point sticking combined with ear apex bloodletting in managing postoperative pain following carbon dioxide fractional laser therapy. Methods 80 patients who underwent carbon dioxide fractional laser treatment. They were divided into an observation group and a control group, with 40 cases in each. The control group received conventional analgesic care during the treatment period, while the observation group received additional auricular point sticking and ear apex bloodletting procedures on top of conventional care. Postoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at various time points and physical comfort assessment data at 24 hours post-surgery were observed and compared between the two groups. Results The VAS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P <0.05). The 24 h comfort score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P <0.05). Conclusion The combination of auricular point sticking and ear apex bloodletting during carbon dioxide fractional laser therapy can effectively alleviate postoperative pain and improve patient comfort. This method is reliable and worthy of promotion in clinical practice.
