The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of acupuncture to the standard of care (control group) on pain, nausea, anxiety, ability to cope, costs and length of hospital stay in post-mastectomy patients at Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
About 40 subjects will be participating in this study. Following qualification for the study, participants will be randomly assigned by chance to receive either acupuncture or to receive the standard of care without an integrative medicine session.
Before surgery participants will complete a demographics questionnaire. After surgery, participants will be visited in their hospital room by either an acupuncturist or another member of the research team. For those assigned to the acupuncture group, participants will receive up to two sessions of acupuncture, at least twelve hours apart. For those assigned to the control group, a research team member will visit the participant in their room up to two times, at least twelve hours apart. During those visits, participants will be asked about pain, nausea, anxiety, and ability to cope at the beginning and end of each treatment or visit.
Additional information will be gathered from participants hospital charts, such as the type of surgery that was performed, length of hospital stay, and the costs associated with the hospital stay.

| Change in Pain Post Intervention | Change in pain on a single question 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) where 0 equals no pain and 10 equals most severe pain. The score is derived by subtracting the pre-intervention score from the post-intervention score within the same day (e.g. Post-Pain Day 1 - Pre-Pain Day 1). A lower score indicates better outcomes. Outcomes were obtained on both post-op Day 1 and Day 2. |
