Patients in the EA group were given bilateral EA on ST-36 (<i>Zusanli</i>), ST-37 (<i>Shangjuxv</i>), and ST-39 (<i>Xiajuxv</i>) within 30 minutes before the surgery. The UC group had no acupuncture treatment. Primary outcomes were feasibility of recruitment, retention, acceptability, and patients' global satisfaction.

Global satisfaction was higher in the EA group (<i>P</i> < 0.001) at 8 (range: 7-8) versus the UC group at 6 (range: 5-7), and the proportion of patients with at least good satisfaction (numerical scale of more than 7 of 10) reached 80% in the EA group.
