Analgesic Effect of TENS-WAA Combined With Tramadol Hydrochloride During Oocyte Retrieval Surgery
Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Naval Medical University
Summary
This study is a single-centre randomised controlled trial. It aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based on wrist-ankle acupuncture theory(TENS-WAA) combined with tramadol hydrochloride for analgesia during transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval, by comparing the analgesic effects and the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting between the TENS-WAA combined with tramadol hydrochloride group (experimental group) and the sham TENS-WAA combined with tramadol hydrochloride group (control group). Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. The experimental group received percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based on wrist-ankle acupuncture theory 30 minutes prior to the procedure, at a frequency of 2Hz with current intensity adjusted to the maximum tolerable level.Tramadol hydrochloride 100mg was administered intramuscularly 20 minutes before surgery. The control group received sham stimulation at the lowest intensity under identical conditions. The primary outcome measure was the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary outcome measures included skin conductance response, postoperative nausea scale, and vomiting scale.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation based on Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture theory（TENS-WAA)
Based on the theory of wrist and ankle needles, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a kind of analgesic treatment device that combines wrist and ankle needles with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and can be worn on the human wrist and ankle. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation based on Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture Theory uses low-frequency electronic pulses to stimulate the entry point of the wrist-ankle needle, which has the advantages of easy to wear, concentration of the treatment site, safety of the treatment, and no needles.
