Electroacupuncture in the Treatment of Patients Undergoing Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Under Local Anesthesia

Prostate biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, and transperineal puncture is a common approach. It has the advantages of no bowel preparation and relative safety. At present, transperineal puncture is often performed under local anesthesia, but there are still clinical problems such as pain and anxiety for patients. Electroacupuncture is often used as an auxiliary means of local anesthesia in China, which has the advantages of analgesia and anti-anxiety. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture combined with local anesthesia in transperineal needle biopsy.
