About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most cost-effective orthopedic surgical procedures which can restore hip function and improve the patient's quality of life. However, total hip arthroplasty is significantly associated with postoperative pain. Pain after total hip arthroplasty surgery can adversely affect the patient's early postoperative recovery, postoperative mobility, and hinder rehabilitation.

Wrist ankle acupuncture (WAA) is a simpler acupuncture technique, using fewer points, shallow needle insertion and lighter stimulation. Wrist-ankle acupuncture as multimodal analgesia after orthopedic surgery is useful for reducing pain and reduce the incidence of post-surgical side effects. The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether wrist ankle acupuncture therapy gives better and results for post total hip arthroplasty pain than sham wrist ankle acupuncture
