A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of an electronic moxibustion apparatus on pain management and wound healing in patients who have undergone craniocerebral surgery. It aims to address the common issue of moderate to severe pain experienced by these patients, particularly within the first 24 hours post-surgery. By utilizing moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, the study seeks to provide a non-pharmacological alternative to conventional analgesics, which often have undesirable side effects. The study will enroll patients who are stable after surgery and will monitor their pain levels and wound healing progress over time.
