Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation before surgery reduces chronic pain after mastectomy: A randomized clinical trial.
Abstract
Despite multiple interventions, the incidence of chronic pain after mastectomy could be as high as 50% after surgery. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) before anesthesia induction in reducing chronic pain and to compare the effect of combined acupoint TEAS with that of single acupoint TEAS.
