Twenty-six patients with severe hand infections requiring operative drainage and admission to hospital were entered into a prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. This was to test the use of a functioning transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator and a non-functioning transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief in the first three postoperative days. Those patients with a functioning transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator required significantly less analgesia. They also demonstrated highly significant improvement in their range of total active movement over those patients with a non-functioning transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. We recommend the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator after operation to reduce pain and improve mobility.
26例需要手术引流并住院治疗的严重手部感染患者被纳入一项前瞻性、随机、安慰剂对照试验。该试验旨在测试在术后头三天使用功能正常的经皮电刺激神经仪和功能不正常的经皮电刺激神经仪缓解疼痛的效果。使用功能正常的经皮电刺激神经仪的患者所需镇痛药物明显较少。与使用功能不正常的经皮电刺激神经仪的患者相比，他们在总主动活动范围方面也有非常显著的改善。我们建议术后使用经皮电刺激神经仪以减轻疼痛并改善活动能力。
