The Effects of Electroacupuncture on Postoperative Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study,the investigators aimed to examine the effect of electroacupuncture application on the amount of pain felt by patients after periodontal surgery. The main question it aims to answer is there any efficiacy of electroacupuncture application on postoperative pain reduction. Participants will get periodontal flap surgery treatment with/without electroacupuncture Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application and postoperative pain

Clinical Trial Description

Postoperative pain is an acute pain that begins with surgical trauma and decreases over time with tissue healing. The level of pain and discomfort felt varies from person to person. The patient's sex and age, physiological and psychological structure, operation area, duration of surgery, premedication, type of anesthetic used, postoperative complications and several other environmental factors can affect this level. After the operation, especially within 48 hours, the pain increases and gradually decreases. Postoperative pain may cause an increase in anxiety and general fear and concern. The stress level caused by surgical trauma in the patient delays recovery and increases mortality and morbidity. Electroacupuncture (EA) applies electrical stimulation current to needles placed on acupuncture points. It is mainly used to relieve pain and provide operative analgesia. No study has been found in the literature on the pain-reducing functionality of acupuncture applications in periodontal surgical treatments. In this study, the investigators aimed to examine the effect of electroacupuncture application on the amount of pain felt by patients after periodontal surgery. ;
