<dc:description xml:lang='en'><p>Background: Acupuncture is a therapeutic method that comes from China and is based on the meridian&rsquo;s theory. Many analgesic drugs used for postoperative pain have a number of side effects. Acupuncture claims to develop a maximum therapeutic effect with reduced side effects. Material and methods: Individualized set of acupuncture needles; visual analogical-scale; tonometer; thermometer; questionnaire for evaluation of postoperative pain management; questionnaire for assessing the patient satisfaction about acute postoperative pain management; informed consent of the patient included in the study. The study included 14 patients who underwent a microsurgical intervention on the hand (amputation of two fingers). They were divided into two. Patients of the first group received 3 sessions of acupuncture and Baralgin. Those in the second group followed only promedol. Patients were evaluated according to objective and subjective criteria: visual-analogical scale (VAS), personal convenience, blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate.</p><p>Results: Patients who received acupuncture showed normalization of objective and subjective indicators and the absence of any adverse effects. Conclusions: 1. Acupuncture is a method of therapy based on stimulation of acupoints that frequently correspond to nerve formations; 2. The analgesic effect of acupuncture allow the exclusion of opioid analgesics and use of minor analgesics for postoperative pain management; 3. Acupuncture in combination with minor analgesics provides postoperative pain soothing and early improving of objective indicators.</p></dc:description>
