Core Tip	This study demonstrates that electroacupuncture (EA) combined with flurbiprofen axetil (FA) provides superior analgesia and functional recovery after breast cancer surgery compared with FA alone. EA + FA reduced postoperative pain, shortened recovery time, and improved quality of life. These findings highlight EA as an effective non-pharmacological adjunct to enhance perioperative care and promote early rehabilitation in breast cancer patients.
