TEAS treatment initiated at 30 minutes before induction and lasted for 30min,TEAS treatment(disperse-dense waves; frequency, 2/100 Hz)on acupoints Hegu(LI4) , Neiguan(PC6) and Zusanli(ST 36)of both sides, and the present intensity(8~12 mA) was the maximum current that could be tolerated.Then, the TEAS treatment was administered twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) on the first and second postoperative day, which lasted for 30 minutes each time.
TEAS treatment initiated immediately after induction and stopped at the end of surgery,TEAS treatment(disperse-dense waves; frequency, 2/100 Hz)on acupoints Hegu(LI4) , Neiguan(PC6) and Zusanli(ST 36)of both sides, and the present intensity(8~12 mA) was the maximum current that could be tolerated.Then, the TEAS treatment was administered twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) on the first and second postoperative day, which lasted for 30 minutes each time.
TEAS treatment initiated immediately after extubating and lasted for 30 minutes,TEAS treatment(disperse-dense waves; frequency, 2/100 Hz)on acupoints Hegu(LI4) , Neiguan(PC6) and Zusanli(ST 36)of both sides, and the present intensity(8~12 mA) was the maximum current that could be tolerated.Then, the TEAS treatment was administered twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) on the first and second postoperative day, which lasted for 30 minutes each time.
the control group was given all manipulations without electrical stimulation, electrodes were placed on the same acupoints, but no current was given
