Forty patients who were to have total hip replacement were randomly allocated to two groups. One group received intramuscular pethidine (30 mg) alone for postoperative analgesia in the first 24 h, the other received transcutaneous stimulation (TES) and pethidine as necessary. The use of pethidine was compared in the two groups under standardised conditions of time, operative and anaesthetic techniques. There was less pethidine used in the TES group. The technique is simple and non-invasive and can be used continuously. It was well accepted by both patients and staff. The electrodes must be prepared carefully and placed accurately. An ideal stimulation effect was often achieved by similar patterns of stimulating parameters.
40名即将接受全髋关节置换术的患者被随机分为两组。一组在术后24小时仅接受肌肉注射哌替啶（30毫克）用于镇痛，另一组接受经皮刺激（TES）并根据需要使用哌替啶。在时间、手术和麻醉技术的标准化条件下，对两组哌替啶的使用情况进行了比较。TES组使用的哌替啶较少。该技术简单且无创，可连续使用。患者和医护人员都对其接受度良好。电极必须仔细准备并准确放置。通过类似的刺激参数模式常常能达到理想的刺激效果。
