Study Summary
We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the addition of battlefield auricular acupuncture to standard of care is effective for control of postpartum pain for mothers in the immediate post-partum period. Post-partum patients (DoD beneficiaries) 18 years or older, regardless of gravida/parity, who plan to have a childbirth in a hospital setting will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study through PCM referrals and posted advertisements. After a minimum of 6 hours post-vaginal delivery or 24 hours post caesarean section subjects will be given treatment according to their randomization group. Subjects will be assessed on pain control, overall satisfaction with pain management, and the amount of pharmacological pain medications used. Safety of measures will also be assessed to include infection rates, syncope, vertigo, and hypotension.
