Summary

Patients undergoing surgical procedures for gynecological cancer are frequently challenged by intense anxiety prior to surgery, reflecting the accompanying uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of their illness.The purpose of the proposed study is to explore the impact of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) treatments (including acupuncture) on anxiety, pain, and general QOL of patients referred to gynecological oncology surgery. The investigators working hypothesis is that an intensive CIM treatment program, provided to patients within 24 hours prior to and during surgery will reduce perioperative anxiety and pain, and will reduce the need for intra-operative and post-operative analgesia.
