Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) on patient outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.


Clinical Trial Description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones, acute cholecystitis and gallstone pancreatitis.Many complications can be seen after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The most common complication after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is pain. Pain appears as incisional, visceral and shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.After laparoscopic surgery, increased intra-abdominal pressure, stretching of the peritoneum, inability to take air given carbon dioxide (CO2), shoulder pain due to tension of muscle fibers due to diaphragm irritation, and visceral pain due to the interference of trocars on the abdominal wall as a result of intra-abdominal intervention are seen. After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the effect of general anesthesia and the proximity of the incision area to the diaphragm may also cause pulmonary complications. Pneumoperiteneum developed by the administration of CO2 gas after laparoscopic cholecystectomy; Diaphragmatic irritation, increased intra-abdominal pressure, stretching of the peritoneum, and consequently the tension in the muscle fibers in the diaphragm can cause pain. Inability to control pain can lead to many undesirable conditions in the patient, such as reluctance to mobilize, increased oxygen consumption, and delayed wound healing. This situation is also associated with increased hospital stay and financial burdens.In order to provide effective pain control, the combined use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods is important.Non-pharmacological methods are easy to learn, safe, have no definite contraindications, and provide pain management with non-drug applications. In a meta-analysis, it was determined that Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is an effective, safe non-pharmacological method for symptomatic relief of pain and discomfort and no serious side effects were observed. Studies have shown that TENS application reduces postoperative pain level and analgesia consumption. In addition, TENS application after laparoscopic cholecystectomy was found to be associated with a decrease in postoperative pain severity and complaints of nausea and vomiting. It is seen that there are not enough resources in the literature regarding the application of TENS after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TENS on patient outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. . ;
