Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acupuncture therapy has been proved helpful in the patients suffering from various pain problems. And it is reported to be able to reduce the intraoperative anesthetic requirement. However, so far there is few evidence from randomized controlled studies to confirm the assistant anesthetic effect of acupuncture. Electroacupuncture (EA) is a modern non-invasive technique of traditional acupuncture. Compared to traditional acupuncture, EA is more practicable, more easily to be accepted by patients and operated by physicians. Nasal sinus surgery and mammaplasty, especially breast augmentation, mostly belong to the scope of day surgeries, which demand a rapid, smooth recovery from anesthesia with minimum adverse side effects (e.g.: pain, PONV, etc).

Electroacupuncture

Patients received electroacupuncture stimulation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electroacupuncture

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Electrodes are applied to bilateral "Hegu(L14)" acupoints at the time of 1h before operation, and connected to Hwato Electronic Acupuncture Treatment Instrument (Model No. SDZ-V, Suzhou Medical Appliances Co., Ltd., Suzhou, China). The acupoints are stimulated at an intensity of 3\~6 mA and a frequency of 2/30 Hz for 30 min. The highest intensity will be chosen at which the patient can tolerate.

Non-electroacupuncture

Patients received sham electroacupuncture

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR
