What this Trial Is About

This research aims to understand how thumb-tack needle therapy affects sleep and recovery after surgery in patients who have undergone general anesthesia for breast cancer surgery. The study focuses on improving postoperative sleep quality, preventing sleep disorders, and promoting recovery following surgery. Participants are women aged 18 to 55 years with no history of chronic insomnia or recent use of sedative-hypnotic drugs. Participants in this observational study will undergo thumb-tack needle therapy as part of their postoperative care. The therapys impact will be monitored without assigning different treatment groups. The study will follow patients before and after anesthesia exposure to observe changes in sleep quality and recovery. During the study, researchers will assess sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI one or two days before anesthesia and on days 1, 3, and 7 after anesthesia. Recovery will also be evaluated with the QoR-40 questionnaire on the third day after surgery. The study monitors patient progress to explore the clinical significance of thumb-tack needle therapy in improving postoperative outcomes.
