We did a prospective study of two groups of patients having elective cholecystectomy through a right subcostal incision to evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Of 64 patients, 30 received TENS postoperatively and 34 did not. Narcotic use in total dose or on a weight basis was not statistically different between the two groups, nor was there any difference in the occurrence of pulmonary or gastrointestinal complications. The use of TENS after this particular operation did not appear to lessen narcotic use or pain-related complications.
我们对两组经右肋下切口行择期胆囊切除术的患者进行了一项前瞻性研究，以评估经皮电刺激神经疗法（TENS）的有效性。64例患者中，30例术后接受了TENS治疗，34例未接受。两组患者的总剂量或按体重计算的麻醉药物使用量在统计学上无差异，肺部或胃肠道并发症的发生率也无差异。在这种特定手术后使用TENS似乎并未减少麻醉药物的使用或与疼痛相关的并发症。
