This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After stomach surgery, some patients develop a condition where the stomach doesn't move food through as it should. This trial is testing whether acupuncture, combined with standard stomach care, can help restore normal stomach function and relieve symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and feeling too full quickly. The study will compare real acupuncture treatment to sham acupuncture (a placebo) to see if the real treatment works better.
Delayed stomach emptying after surgery is a real problem that causes significant discomfort and can slow recovery. Standard medical treatments help some patients, but not all. Researchers want to know if this treatment might offer additional benefit and be a useful option for people who aren't getting relief from medications and diet changes alone.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either real acupuncture or sham acupuncture (a placebo procedure), both combined with standard medical care like dietary changes, nutritional support, and stomach medications. You'll visit the hospital for acupuncture sessions during your treatment period, have blood and stomach fluid samples collected for testing, and complete follow-up visits where doctors will ask about your symptoms and check how well your stomach is working using the same tests used to diagnose the problem.
