Better Than Sedatives: Acupressure Calms Children
Before Surgery
An acupressure treatment applied to children undergoing anesthesia
noticeably lowers their anxiety levels and makes the stress of surgery
more calming for them and their families, UC Irvine anesthesiologists
have learned. |
According to Dr. Zeev
Kain, anesthesiology and perioperative care chair, and his Yale
University collaborator Dr. Shu-Ming Wang, this noninvasive, drug-free
method is an effective, complementary anxiety-relief therapy for
children during surgical preparation. Sedatives currently used before
anesthesia can cause nausea and prolong sedation.
"Anxiety in children before surgery is bad because of the emotional toll
on the child and parents, and this anxiety can lead to prolonged
recovery and the increased use of analgesics for postoperative pain,"
said Kain, who led the acupressure study. "What's great about the use of
acupressure is that it costs very little and has no side effects."
In this study, Kain and his Yale colleagues applied adhesive acupressure
beads to 52 children between the ages of 8 and 17 who were to undergo
endoscopic stomach surgery. In half the children, a bead was applied to
the Extra-1 acupoint, which is located in the midpoint between the
eyebrows. In the other half, the bead was applied to a spot above the
left eyebrow that has no reported clinical effects.
Thirty minutes later, the researchers noted decreased anxiety levels in
the children who had the beads applied to the Extra-1 acupoint. In turn,
anxiety levels increased in the other group. Overall, they found the use
of acupressure had no effect on the surgical procedure.
"As anesthesiologists, we need to look at all therapeutic opportunities
to make the surgical process less stressful for all patients," Kain
said. "We can't assume that Western medical approaches are the only
viable ones, and we have an obligation to look at integrative treatments
like acupressure as a way to improve the surgery experience."
Surgery is traumatic for most children, and Kain leads research to find
integrative methods, such as soothing music, massage, and Chinese
acupuncture and acupressure treatments, to make the surgical period more
calming for patients and their families.
