Clinical Trial: Electroacupuncture at ST36 for Reducing Postoperative Inflammation After Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

U.S., Sept. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07795112) titled 'Electroacupuncture at ST36 for Reducing Postoperative Inflammation After Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass' on Aug. 15.

Brief Summary: Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass can trigger a marked systemic inflammatory response and may contribute to postoperative organ dysfunction and delayed recovery. Electroacupuncture at the Zusanli acupoint (ST36) may regulate inflammatory responses, but its clinical effects in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remain uncertain.

This prospective, randomized, parallel-group study will enroll 140 adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. After surgery...
