In prospective, random assignment of 2 groups of 15 patients, relief of postoperative pain with narcotic medications was evaluated and compared with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for 2 days immediately following surgery. Presence of ileus and hospital stay were identical in both groups. Patients on TENS demonstrated a marked significant decrease in the amount of narcotics administered. There was favorable nursing, physician and patient acceptance to these devices. Further clinical evaluation is, therefore, in progress.
在一项前瞻性研究中，将15名患者随机分为两组，评估了麻醉药物对术后疼痛的缓解作用，并与术后立即进行的为期2天的经皮电刺激神经疗法（TENS）进行了比较。两组的肠梗阻情况和住院时间相同。接受TENS治疗的患者使用的麻醉药物量显著减少。护士、医生和患者对这些设备的接受度良好。因此，正在进行进一步的临床评估。
