Objective To observe whether buccal acupuncture can relieve pain before anesthesia and facilitate anesthesia operation in patients with clavicle fracture. Methods 60 patients with clavicular fracture in our hospital were selected and divided into buccal acupuncture group, sufentanil group and control group according to random number table, with 20 cases in each group. MAP, HR, pain VAS score at different time points and the occurrence of side effects were observed. Results The MAP and HR in buccal acupuncture group and sufentanil group decreased significantly compared with control group at T2 (P < 0.05). The VAS scores of buccal acupuncture group and sufentanil group were significantly lower than those in control group at rest, shrug, upper limb rotation and 45 degrees of elevation(P < 0.05). The number of side effects in buccal acupuncture group was less than that in sufentanil group and control group, and the postoperative satisfaction was higher than that in sufentanil group and control group. Conclusion The application of buccal acupuncture or sufentanil before anesthesia in patients with clavicular fracture can effectively reduce pain, and buccal acupuncture is easy to operate and has fewer side effects.
