NCT05535985

Brief Summary

  1. 1.To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture on POD in diabetic patients undergoing surgery, to provide effective prevention and treatment measures of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium in high-risk groups, and to provide clinical basis for further promotion of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine anesthesia in the future.
  2. 2.To investigate the relationship between POD and rSO2 in diabetic patients undergoing surgery. To clarify the predictive value of intraoperative rSO2 monitoring on postoperative cognitive function in patients with diabetes, and to explore the effect of acupuncture on cerebral blood flow perfusion in patients with diabetes.

Study Arms (3)

acupuncture group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the acupuncture group, acupoints of Baihui, Shenting, Sishencong will be selected for acupuncture stimulation be anesthesia. The needle will be kept for 30 minutes, during which the needle will be performed once every 10 minutes for 10 seconds each time, 4 times in total. The therapist will give the subject verbal cues before and during the needle manipulation.

Device: acupuncture

placebo acupuncture group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The patients will be treated with consolation needle. Choose treatment of points that near but without going through the acupoints(upper arm deltoid muscle). Use the Park needle (blunt needle, tip obtuse, when acupuncture the feeling is similar to acupuncture needles into the skin, but it retracts instead of piercing the skin) to conduct acupuncture treatment. The retention time and number of needles will be the same as those in the acupuncture group. The therapist will give the subjects verbal cues before and during the acupuncture manipulation, which further reduces the subjects' doubts about the authenticity of acupuncture in the this group. To ensure the implementation of the blinding method, all patients will be treated independently and avoid contacting with each other.

Device: placebo acupuncture

control group

NO INTERVENTION

The patients will undergoing routine anesthesia without acupuncture treatment.

Interventions

treatment of pain or disease by inserting the tips of needles at specific points on the skin
