The investigators also want to know if this combination causes any side effects.\n\nKey Questions:\n\nDoes ear acupressure + NSAIDs reduce pain more quickly than NSAIDs alone? Are there any safety concerns with this treatment? How does real ear acupressure compare to a fake (placebo) procedure? Who Can Join? Adults aged 18-75 Experiencing moderate-to-severe kidney stone pain (confirmed by CT or ultrasound) No recent painkiller use or allergies to NSAIDs\n\nWhat Participants Will Do:\n\nReceive in the emergency room:\n\nReal treatment: Tiny needles placed on 3 ear points + NSAIDs (ketorolac injection) OR Placebo treatment: Fake tape on ear points + NSAIDs (same injection) Rate their pain on a 0-10 scale over 60 minutes. Have their heart rate and blood pressure checked.\n\nStudy Details:\n\nDuration: Single ER visit (no long-term follow-up) Participants Needed: 116 Safety: Rescue pain medication (like morphine) is available if needed.\n\nWhy This Matters:\n\nKidney stones cause severe pain, and current painkillers may not work fast enough. Ear acupressure is a low-risk method from traditional Chinese medicine that could provide quicker relief.\n\nEthics:\n\nApproved by Changhai Hospital's Ethics Committee.

Recent loco-regional anesthesia (LRA) techniques have made an essential contribution to peri-operative management in the fast-track perspective of surgery, in terms of optimization of analgesia and rapid functional recovery. Inadequate post-operative analgesia, by affecting the normal rehabilitation pathway, is associated with medium-long term complications, such as chronic pain, joint stiffness and patient dissatisfaction, which often compromise functional autonomy and quality of life of the patient and may require invasive treatments (surgical revision, unlocking under general anesthesia). The local and systemic inflammatory state, evidenced by peri-operative dosage of specific biomarkers, appears to be related to prosthetic outcome.",[83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"Acupuncture Analgesia","Acupuncture","Acupuncture Therapy","Total Knee Anthroplasty","Postoperative Pain Management","Pain Threshold","Shoulder Pain","Laparoscopies","Acupuncture Ear",[93,94,95],"acupuncture","total knee arthroplasty","pain","2025-08-08",{"date":98,"type":36},"2025-08-14",{"date":100,"type":36},"2024-04-10",{"date":102,"type":21},"2026-12-31",{"name":104,"class":43},"Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia"]
