MethodsParticipants in this randomized, blinded, controlled trial were 91 elective ambulatory surgery patients (ages 19–66 yr) with ASA I and II physical status, no history of psychiatric illness, and no prior acupuncture experience. Participants were scheduled for both anticipated benign diseases as well as potential malignant diseases. Patients taking anxiolytic herbs (eg, kava kava) or psychotropic medications were excluded. Sedative premedication was not offered to participants of this study. The Yale University IRB approved the protocol.
