Electrophysiological appropriateness technique based on TCM meridian theory for postoperative pain after urethral reconstruction : A real-world study
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of electrophysiological appropriateness technique (EAT) therapy based on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) meridian theory in managing postoperative pain after urethral reconstruction surgery.
METHODS: Using the real-world study approach, we enrolled 61 male patients undergoing urethral reconstruction and divided them into a control group (n = 30) and an observation group (n = 31), the former receiving patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), while the latter PCIA plus EAT at 4 pairs of acupoints (Hegu, Neiguan, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao bilaterally) and the Ashi point, with 100 mg tramadol hydrochloride given orally as remedial analgesia in both groups in case of postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score ≥4. We compared the VAS scores at 4, 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively, the dose of cumulative fentanyl used at 48 hours, the number of cases needing remedial analgesia, the time to first flatus and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups of patients.
RESULTS: The VAS scores were markedly lower in the observation than in the control group at 4, 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery (P < 0.05), with statistically significant differences in time-dependent effect and interactive effect (P < 0.05). Significant reduction was observed in the doses of cumulative fentanyl (P < 0.05) and remedial tramadol analgesia (P < 0.05), time to first flatus (P < 0.05), and incidence of adverse reactions (P < 0.05) in the observation group in comparison with the controls.
CONCLUSION: Electrophysiological therapy based on the TCM meridian theory can safely and effectively alleviate postoperative pain after urethral reconstruction, reduce opioid consumption, and decrease adverse events.
