Auriculotherapy During Medication Abortion

2021年6月14日 更新者：Carolyn Westhoff、Columbia University

Auriculotherapy as an Adjunct for Pain Management During Medication Abortion: a Randomized, Double-blinded, Three-arm Trial

This randomized trial will evaluate the effect of adding auriculotherapy (i.e. acupuncture applied to the ear) using either gold beads or Pyonex needles in addition to usual care for the relief of pain and anxiety during medication abortion. The control group will receive placebo auriculotherapy plus usual care. Participants will receive the assigned treatment immediately after they receive their initial abortion medication. The investigators will assess pain and anxiety via text message once daily for four days, and in person at a one-week follow-up visit.

详细说明

Most women undergoing medication abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol report moderate to severe pain, despite treatment with ibuprofen or opioids. In 2018 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) recommended research to improve pain relief. Limited data indicate that acupuncture is valuable for dysmenorrhea and for labor pain, conditions in which pain may be similar to that experienced during medication abortion. This randomized trial will recruit women seeking medication abortion after they have completed their routine clinical assessment and after they have received mifepristone. This study will evaluate two types of auriculotherapy applied to selected acupoints on the external ear. The study treatments are acupuncture using Pyonex needles and acupressure using gold pellets; both are applied to the ear using adhesive disks. A control group will receive the adhesive disks alone. All participants will receive usual medication abortion care, including taking misoprostol 1-3 days after mifepristone and ibuprofen for pain management. The investigators will query the participants regarding pain and anxiety. Follow-up will end at the time of the usual clinical follow-up about one week after mifepristone administration.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
有源比较器：Auriculotherapy with needles (acupuncture) + usual care
A designated trained therapist will perform auriculotherapy with 1mm (Pyonex) needles at five acupoints on each ear (10 points total). The needles are affixed with a small round adhesive disk. The needles will stay in place until removal at the 1-week follow-up visit
设备：Auriculotherapy with needles
Single-use 1.2mm acupuncture press needles attach to pre-specified acupoints on the participant's ears with adhesive disk/tape.
其他名称：
  • Pyonex needles
有源比较器：Auriculotherapy with gold beads (acupressure) + usual care
A designated trained therapist will perform auriculotherapy with beads at five acupoints on each ear (10 points total). The beads are affixed with a small round adhesive disk. The beads will stay in place until removal at the 1-week follow-up visit.
设备：Auriculotherapy with beads
A trained co-investigator will place the beads onto prespecified acupoints of the participant's ears. An adhesive disk will adhere the beads to the ears.
其他名称：
  • Single-use gold-plated 1.2mm beads/balls attach to pre-specified acupoints on the participant's ears with adhesive disk/tape.
假比较器：Placebo group + usual care
A designated trained therapist will place adhesive disks at five acupoints on each ear (10 points total). The disks resemble those used with the active treatments. The disks will stay in place until removal at the 1-week follow-up visit.
设备：Placebo Adhesive disks
Single-use adhesive disks without needles or beads.
其他名称：
  • Placebo disks
