Abstract:
Objective To find the optimal stimulation parameters of electroacupuncture for incision pain and visceral dragging pain after surgery.Method Databases including the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang (WF), VIP and PubMed were retrieved by using computer. The eligible literatures related to the clinical and experimental studies on electroacupuncture for post-operative pain were summarized and the frequencies of the involved electroacupuncture parameters were counted.Result For incision pain, electroacupuncture was used after surgery, with continuous wave, usually a low frequency ranged 2~15 Hz and a current of 2~5 mA; for visceral dragging pain, electroacupuncture was used before surgery, with sparse-intense wave, alternate frequencies majorly at 2/100 Hz and a medium or low current intensity within patient’s endurance. Conclusion In clinical application, the elctroacupuncture parameters should be chosen carefully according to the type of post-operative pain.
