Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to access the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on postoperative pain in patients undergoing hepatectomy
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- Age 18-80 years old; ASA physical status classⅠ-Ⅲ; Patients scheduled for elective hepatectomy.
Exclusion Criteria1
- Have a history of epilepsy; Rash or local infection over the acupoint stimulation skin area; Pregnancy or breastfeeding; Mental retardation, psychiatric, or neurological disease; Inability to comprehend the numeric rating scale (NRS); Implantation of a cardiac pacemaker, cardioverter, or defibrillator; Chronic opioid use; Metastases in other organs;
Interventions
transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a contemporary modification of traditional acupuncture that sends electrical impulses into acupoints through electrodes on the skin surface. In the TEAS group, patients will receive TEAS 30min before anesthesia until be discharged from the postanaesthesia care unit (PACU). The same treatment will be performed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days after surgery.The stimulation intensity will be adjusted in accordance with the maximal level tolerated by each patient.
Patients in the sham group will receive electrode attachment but without stimulation.
