经皮穴位电刺激在成年扁桃体切除术病人中的应用OA

Objective:To explore the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation in adult patients undergoing tonsillectomy.Methods:Using a convenience sampling method,a total of 108 tonsillectomy patients admitted to a tertiary grade A hospital in Hefei city,Anhui Province from June 2024 to June 2025 were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into a test group and a control group,54 cases each.The control group received routine postoperative nursing.The test group received transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation therapy in addition to routine care.The pain,sleep status,anxiety levels,and incidence of complications of the two groups of patients at different times after surgery were compared.Results:The pain scores and insomnia scale scores of the test group were lower than those of the control group on postoperative days 1,2,and 3(all P<0.05).Before discharge,the anxiety level of the test group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in terms of the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions:Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation could effectively alleviate early postoperative pain,improve sleep quality,and alleviate anxiety levels in adult patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
