Postoperative Muscular Pain, ETOIMS (Electrical Twitch Obstructive Intramuscular Stimulation)

Phase 3

• Conditions: Disease Status of Pancreatobiliary Tract , ( Especially Who Need to Undergo Pancreaticoduodenectomy)

• Registration Number: NCT03619343
• Lead Sponsor: Yonsei University

Brief Summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is inevitably an operation requiring extensive skin and muscle incision, resulting in postoperative pain resulting in limitation of the patient's early exercise and function. ETOIMS(Electrical Twitch Obstructive Intramuscular Stimulation) is used to relieve muscle pain and relax muscles. ETOIMS is a method to relieve pain by stimulating muscle in myofascial pain syndrome. ETOIMS as an effective new treatment for pain after pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain: VAS (visual analogue scale)	AM 7:00 morning at Preoperative day and the day following surgery before discharge (Postoperative day 1 - Postoperative day 10)	The primary outcome of this study was the postoperative pain score (VAS score) in patients undergoing ETOIMS during surgery. The type of surgery in the experimental group and the control group is the same and the same analgesic agent (IV PCA, Wound PCA) is used. The pain score is measured at 7 o'clock every morning from the day following surgery to discharge (about Postoperative day 10) to confirm the reduced pattern.
