ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a special treatment called thumbtack needle therapy on patients recovering from surgery. Specifically, it aims to see how this therapy can help improve sleep quality and overall recovery for individuals who have undergone breast cancer surgery while under general anesthesia. The researchers want to find out if this treatment can reduce sleep problems and help patients feel better faster after their operation.

To participate in this study, you should be a woman aged 18 to 55 who is having breast cancer surgery and is in good health according to specific standards. It’s important that you don’t have a history of chronic insomnia or have taken sleep medications recently. If you join the trial, you can expect to receive the thumbtack needle treatment and help contribute to important research that could improve recovery for future patients. Keep in mind that certain health conditions may prevent you from participating, so discussing your eligibility with your doctor is essential.
