Studies have demonstrated encouraging results in pain reduction and improvement in quality of life. However, further research is required to strengthen these findings and fully integrate auriculotherapy into standard treatment protocols for CTS.

this prospective, double-blind comparative study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture in managing postoperative pain following outpatient carpal tunnel surgery
