Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if auricular acupuncture significantly reduces post-operative pain in comparison to the standard of care. Post-operative pain score will be collected by subject self-report of pain according to the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0= no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) up to 10 days post-operation.
Primary Outcome
Pain scores will be collected daily during the post op period in the recovery room using a numbers scale with faces; specifically the Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale where 10 is described as worst possible and 0 is No pain. This was recorded by the participant at home using the same type scale and this was is provided to them. The Hypothesis is that subjects receiving intraoperative auricular acupuncture during a tonsillectomy will have statistically significantly less post-operative pain sc
