This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether press-needle ear acupuncture — a gentle technique using small needles placed on specific points in the ear — can safely reduce nausea and vomiting caused by tuberculosis medications. Nausea and vomiting are common side effects that often make patients stop their treatment early, which can prevent TB from being cured. Researchers believe this treatment may help by stimulating nerves and reducing chemicals that trigger these uncomfortable symptoms.
Nausea and vomiting from TB medications are so severe that many patients stop taking their medicine before they're fully healed, which allows the disease to return and become harder to treat. This trial is searching for a safe, comfortable way to manage these side effects so patients can stay on their life-saving treatment.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive either real press-needle ear acupuncture or a sham (fake) version that looks similar but doesn't stimulate acupuncture points. Your nausea and vomiting will be measured before treatment starts, during the study, and after treatment ends. The study will follow you throughout your TB treatment to see if the acupuncture helps you feel better and stay on your medication without stopping early.
