Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction
Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Geriatric Patients With Gastrointestinal Tumor
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is one of the common complications of cancer patients after operation with a 8.9%-46.1% incidence, which severely affecting patients' postoperative recovery, increasing the medical cost, affecting the social function of patients, reducing the quality of life and increasing the mortality.
Surgical trauma and perioperative pain can induce systematic inflammatory response and release systematic inflammatory mediators, which can enter the central nervous system (CNS) and lead to CNS inflammatory. In order to prevent the development of POCD among elder patients, the discovery of effective interventions reducing perioperative pain and inflammatory response is important.
Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) is a non-invasive alternative to needle-based electro-acupuncture (EA). It combines the acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) by pasting the electrode piece on the acupoint instead of sticking the needles on the skin. TEAS can trigger the release of endogenous neurotransmitters, releasing endogenous analgesic substances, such as endorphins. TEAS also can reduce the intraoperative anesthetic consumption, postoperative pain score, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and improve the postoperative recovery of patients. Recently, TEAS was found to improve the cognitive function of geriatric patients with silent lacunar infarction. However, the current TEAS mainly focus on intraoperative. The effect of perioperative TEAS on POCD is not clear.
Here, the effect of TEAS on POCD in geriatric adults undergoing radical resection of gastrointestinal tumors under general anesthesia was investigated to determine whether TEAS can decrease perioperative pain or inflammatory response to prevent the occurrence of POCD and to find out the relationship among perioperative TEAS, inflammatory response, postoperative pain, and POCD preliminarily.

EXPERIMENTAL: Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation group
Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation group patients received Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (Neiguan [PC6], Yintang [GV 29], Zusanli [ST36]) for 30 min before the induction of anaesthesia until the end of the surgery and the night before operation, the first, second and third night after operation 30 min once a day with an altered frequency 2/100 Hz, disperse-dense waves, adjusted electricity intensity which was less than 10 mA.
|
According to the traditional Chinese medicine 15,three acupuncture points were selected as the target points: bilateral Neiguan ,Yintang and bilateral Zusanli..
A transcutaneous electrical stimulator was used to provide an altered frequency 2/100 Hz,disperse-dense waves,and adjusted intensity which was less than 10mA.
|
NO_INTERVENTION: Control group
In Control group, except the electronic stimulation was not applied, the treatment was the same as the Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation group.
