Brief Summary: Minimal invasive thoracoscopic surgery has been used widely for common thoracic diseases in recent years Patients who received thoracoscopic surgery recovered much quickly and returned to their daily life sooner because of small operation wound and less invasion However operative pain was still an important factor which might contribute to several post-operative complications

In daily practice patients received oralintravenous form non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioid agents or patient-controlled analgesia for post operative pain control However some side effects were observed occasionally

The role of acupuncture in post-operative pain control was frequently discussed in recent research The main mechanisms of acupuncture in pain control were 1 to stimulate the release of endogenous opioid and 2 to block TRPV1 receptor

The randomized controlled trial arranged by Gary Deng and his colleagues in 2008 was the first clinical trial investigated the role of acupuncture in post-operative pain control for traditional thoracotomy patients However there was no further research about the role of acupuncture applied to minimal invasive thoracoscopic surgery

Thus the aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the role of acupuncture in post-operative pain control for minimal invasive thoracoscopic surgery patients In order to deliver a safe and effective way in pain control and to save medical cost and promote quality of patient care
