NCT02951611

Brief Summary

60 ASA physical status I or II patients, aged 18-75 years old , scheduled for elective video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy surgery,will be randomized into 2 groups,with 30 patients in each group: 1. control group and 2. treatment group. Patients in treatment group will receive transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS) during the surgery and at 6h and 24h after surgery. Patients in the control group received only TIVA general anesthesia and sham electrical stimulation. Serum from patients of both groups will be collected at before surgery, 1h and 25h after surgery, respectively. Serum levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, CXCL8, IFN gamma and IL-4 at different time points will be measured and compared between the two groups.

Study Arms (2)

Sham stimulation

SHAM COMPARATOR

Put the electrodes on SI3, SJ6, PC6 and LI4 without stimulation.

Procedure: Sham stimulation

Treatment: Acupuncture stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Stimulate the SI3, SJ6, PC6 and LI4 since 30 minutes before anesthesia induction until the end of operation. Stimulate again at above acupoints at 6 and 24h after operation, for 30 minutes each time. The stimulation frequency is 2/100Hz. The stimulation current is two to three times of the lowest current that the patient can feel.

Procedure: Acupuncture stimulation

Interventions

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on SI3, SJ6, PC6 and LI4

Treatment: Acupuncture stimulation

Put electrodes on SI3, SJ6, PC6 and LI4 without stimulation

Sham stimulation
