Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates electrical acupoint stimulation (EAS) administered in peri-operation for improving postoperative recovery in elder patients, who accept knee arthroplasty. the surgery cause to change of stress response, which might be associated with postoperative recovery of patient Totally, three groups are created, 1/3 participants receive transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, 1/3 participants receive electroacupuncture, the rest 1/3 will use sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation.


Description:

Theoretically, the application of electrical acupoint stimulation (EAS) base on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. It deems that a surgery might consume Qi, then cause to imbalance of Qi and Blood, especially in elder patients. Besides, surgery lead to change of stress response (hormones). The EAS administration intra-operatively perhaps be beneficial to recovery of patients, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. The main possible mechanism was stress response regulation. The hypothesis is that the EAS improve postoperative recovery of patient through regulating stress response.
