This study aims to use ear acupoint therapy to address the following clinical issues: 1 The degree of postoperative inflammation and edema in the patient; 2. Patient pain; 3. Patient functional recovery. 4. Surgical scar repair for patients; 5. Patient perioperative anxiety and postoperative satisfaction. Exploring the safety and effectiveness of ear acupoint therapy in the postoperative application of TKA, leveraging the advantages of suitable traditional Chinese medicine techniques in simplicity, convenience, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, and further improving the ERAS Chinese and Western medicine collaborative plan for TKA., conditionsModule conditions: Auriculotherapy, conditions: Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee, conditions: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: COHORT, timePerspective: PROSPECTIVE, enrollmentInfo count: 86, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Auriculotherapy, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Range of motion(ROM), secondaryOutcomes measure: Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS), secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-Assessment Survey for Anxiety（SAS）, secondaryOutcomes measure: Acupoint electrical measurement value(AE), secondaryOutcomes measure: Vancouver Scar Assessment Scale（VSS）, secondaryOutcomes measure: Dosage of painkillers, secondaryOutcomes measure: Hospital stay, secondaryOutcomes measure: HSS knee joint scoring, secondaryOutcomes measure: Thigh circumference(knee joint circumference), secondaryOutcomes measure: Kine siphobia (TSK) score, secondaryOutcomes measure: C-reactive protein (CRP), secondaryOutcomes measure: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate(ESR), secondaryOutcomes measure: Postoperative satisfaction, secondaryOutcomes measure: Expenses during hospitalization, secondaryOutcomes measure: Demand rate and satisfaction rate of auricular point diagnosis and treatment, secondaryOutcomes measure: Adverse events related to auricular acupuncture diagnosis and treatment, secondaryOutcomes measure: Affected limb drainage volume, secondaryOutcomes measure: Preoperative Anxiety Scale (PAS-7) score, secondaryOutcomes measure: Total number of pain pump uses (presses), eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 50 Years, maximumAge: 80 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Peking Union Medical College Hospital, status: RECRUITING, city: Beijing, state: Beijing, zip: 100000, country: China, contacts name: qindong Mi, role: CONTACT, phone: 8615871784551, email: mqd2022ky@163.com, geoPoint lat: 39.9075, lon: 116.39723, hasResults: False
