The main goal of geriatric rehabilitation following an acute illness is the rapid restoration of normal activity. Key elements are pain control, restoration of bowel function, sleep, appetite, and general well-being, alongside physical activity. The research results showed that a significant post-Acupuncture treatment improvement was seen in pain (p=0.005), appetite (p=0.0034), bowel function (p=0.029), and general well-being (p=0.0012) scores in patients' treatment when compared with pretreatment baseline scores. Also, The "quality of sleep" score showed a trend toward improvement (p=0.073).

In conclusion, acupuncture may be beneficial as an adjunctive treatment in geriatric post-acute illness rehabilitation, including pain, appetite, quality of sleep, bowel function, and general well being.
