Detailed Description

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

Acupoint stimulation is postulated to modulate neurological signal transmission through afferent nociceptive pathways. Acupoint stimulation has been associated with positive effects on perioperative symptoms such as nausea, pain, and sleep disturbance. Transcutaneous electrical acupuncture point stimulation (TEAS) is an acupuncture treatment developed by combining traditional Chinese acupuncture with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. TEAS has proven to be effective in postoperative pain and nausea-vomiting by applying a current of different frequencies, intensities, and waveforms through electrodes adhering to the skin. Using TEAS may relieve perioperative symptoms without increasing the risk of drug-related adverse events and alleviate and improve the patient's health condition, including the postoperative perspective.
