Clinical Trial Summary

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) has been reported to reduce postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption after postoperative. This study aims to evaluate the effect of TENS application on recovery quality after interscalene block for shoulder surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Shoulder rotator cuff repair and acromioplasty are associated with severe pain after surgery. Interscalene block (ISB) is the gold standard for shoulder surgery, but the block duration does not exceed 6-8 hours. In addition, after the resolution of ISB, patients experience severe pain and need high doses of opioids. Rebound pain is observed in the postoperative period after the effect of the nerve block abolition. Rebound pain affects the quality of recovery and sleep quality in postoperative. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a method of pain relief that uses cutaneously applied electrodes for delivering electrical signals to peripheral nerves through the intact skin. TENS is safe and effective for acute postoperative pain treatment. In addition, TENS has been used in anesthesia to treat postoperative nausea vomiting, and labor analgesia beyond providing analgesia. We hypothesized that TENS application would reduce the incidence of rebound pain, reduce the need for postoperative opioids, and improve recovery and sleep quality. This study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial in a university hospital. Patients scheduled for elective shoulder surgery will be screened for enrollment in the study. ;
