January 5, 2022 updated by: Betul Kozanhan, Konya Meram State Hospital

Efficacy of TEAS On Prevention of Rocuronium Injection Pain

Pain from the injection of rocuronium is a common side effect during anesthetic practice, occurring in 50%-80% of patients. Several methods have been used to reduce this pain. This prospective, randomized study was designed to determine the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupuncture point stimulation in reducing the rocuronium injection pain.
