What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effect and feasibility of combining percutaneous acupoint stimulation with oxycodone to manage postoperative visceral pain in female patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. This study focuses on patients aged 18 to 65 years with specific health criteria, aiming to optimize pain control during the perioperative period. The research is conducted under general anesthesia for procedures such as ovarian tumor stripping, uterine fibroid stripping, and total hysterectomy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups: transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) combined with oxycodone, TEAS alone, oxycodone alone, or a control group receiving neither active treatment. The TEAS involves stimulating specific points (Neiguan, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao) using an electronic needle therapy device and an electrical stimulation bracelet for 30 minutes before anesthesia induction. Oxycodone is administered intravenously at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg five minutes before anesthesia. During the study, participants' postoperative visceral pain is assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at several time points: 30 minutes, 6 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after surgery. The study also monitors early recovery quality and collects data related to safety and treatment feasibility. Participation lasts through the perioperative period, with careful data collection to evaluate pain management outcomes and treatment tolerability.
