Efficacy of Press Needle at PC6 Neiguan and ST36 Zusanli as Adjuvant Therapy in Reducing Symptoms of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Pediatric Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
2022 Apr 01 Medical Acupuncture Bintoro DA, Nareswari I, Andriastuti M
Press needle acupuncture is able to reduce the Rhodes index of nausea, vomiting, and retching (RINVR) score and can be applied to pediatric patients because of its minimal side effects, but further research is needed to determine the appropriate treatment time.

Effects of Electroacupuncture Administered 24 hours Prior to Surgery on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting and Pain in Patients Undergoing Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery: A Feasibility Study
2017 Sep Explore: The Journal of Science & Healing Li S, Zheng M, Wu W, Guo J, Ji F, Zheng Z
In a randomized controlled trial with 40 patients, EA was delivered at bilateral neiguan (PC6) and zusanli (ST36) points within 24 hours prior to surgery. The EA group exhibited a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the first six hours compared to the usual care (UC) group. Postoperative pain was significantly lower in the EA group at six hours postoperative, and the EA group had a shorter time to pass the first flatus compared to the UC group. Adverse effects of EA were minor and well-tolerated. The study suggests that one-session preoperative EA is feasible, safe, and may reduce postoperative pain and accelerate gastrointestinal motility.
