Eksperimentel: Acupuncture Group
Manual acupuncture at HT7, PC6, ST36, KI6 bilaterally before and after surgery; needles retained 30 min with deqi sensation.
|
Participants in the acupuncture group will receive manual acupuncture at four bilateral acupoints: Heart 7 (HT7 Shenmen), Pericardium 6 (PC6 Neiguan), Stomach 36 (ST36 Zusanli), and Kidney 6 (KI6 Zhaohai).
Acupuncture will be performed on the night before surgery, on the night of the day of surgery, and on the first postoperative night (total of 3 sessions).
Sterile disposable stainless steel needles (0.25 mm × 40 mm) will be inserted to a depth of 15-25 mm depending on location, with gentle lifting-thrusting and twisting until "Deqi" sensation (aching, heaviness, or tingling) is obtained.
Needles will be retained for 30 minutes, during which manual stimulation will be applied every 10 minutes.
No electrical stimulation will be used.
Standard perioperative care will be provided to all participants.

|
Placebo komparator: Sham Acupuncture Group
Non-penetrating placebo needle applied at same acupoints (HT7, PC6, ST36, KI6) with identical procedure and duration; no skin penetration or deqi.
|
Participants in the sham acupuncture group will undergo a placebo procedure using non-penetrating sham needles (e.g., Streitberger or similar non-skin-piercing placebo needle) applied at the same acupoints (bilateral HT7, PC6, ST36, KI6) and on the same schedule (the night before surgery, the night of surgery day, and postoperative day 1; total of 3 sessions).
The sham needle tip retracts into the base upon contact with the skin, producing a tactile sensation without skin penetration or Deqi.
The device will be left in place for 30 minutes without manipulation, mimicking the true acupuncture procedure in appearance and duration.
Standard perioperative care will be provided to all participants.

|
Incidence of Postoperative Sleep Disturbance as Assessed by the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS)
Tidsramme: Postoperative days 1, 2, and at hospital discharge (day 3-5)
|
AIS is an 8-item self-report scale.
A total score ≥6 indicates clinically significant insomnia/sleep disturbance.
Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.
