The Effect of Patient-Controlled TEAS vs Sham TEAS for Improve Quality of Life in Patients With Cancer Pain
Sponsor: Yi Liang
Summary
The conduct of a pilot trial is of great significance as a means of assessing the feasibility and harmonization of the research and is a very necessary precursor to the better conduct of formal trials. The primary aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a PC-TEAS in improving the quality of life of cancer patients with pain, with the aspiration of providing process evidence base and an assessment of the intervention for conducting a formal trial. the secondary outcome is to assess the clinical efficacy of the PC-TEAS.

Interventions
Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation
The 4 patches of the transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulator were pasted on two pairs of acupuncture points, the output frequency was adjusted to 2Hz, the intensity was up to 50ma, the single intervention time was 30 minutes, and another group of acupuncture points was replaced after completion, and the rest of the operations were the same as above, with a total intervention time of 1 hour.
