简要总结
The effect of transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on the quality of recovery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy surgery remains unclear. Therefore, the investigators conducted this prospective, randomized, double-blind study to verify the hypothesis that pre-operative TEAS could improve the quality of recovery (QoR) after thyroidectomy surgery.
详细描述
Transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a form of non-invasive electrical stimulation that produces a perceptible sensation via electrodes attached to the skin. It has no risk of infections and can potentially be applied by medical personnel with minimal training. Clinical trials have demonstrated that TEAS reduces the consumption of intra-operative anesthetics and general anesthesia related side-effects.

结局指标
主要结局
the quality of recovery, as measured by a 40-item questionnaire
时间窗: 24 hours after surgery
The primary outcome was the quality of recovery, which was assessed on the day before surgery and 24 h after surgery using a 40-item questionnaire (QoR-40)
次要结局
- postoperative pain intensity, as assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(24 hours after surgery)
- the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(24 hours after surgery)
- patient's satisfaction, as evaluated with a 10-point numerical rating scale: 10= excellent, 1= bad.(at 24 hours after surgery)
