Abstract:
Postoperative acute pain can significantly hinder early postoperative recovery if inadequately managed,and may even progress to chronic postsurgical pain(CPSP).The current clinical practice primarily relies on multimodal analgesia strategies,with intravenous opioids being the cornerstone.Although effective in alleviating postoperative pain,the associated adverse effects of opioids have limited their widespread use.In recent years,with the development of integrative medicine combining Western and traditional Chinese medicine,numerous studies have demonstrated that incorporating transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)into multimodal analgesia protocols confers significant benefits for postoperative pain management.TEAS not only reduces postoperative pain and opioid consumption but also mitigates opioid-related side effects,thereby facilitating patient recovery.This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the analgesic mechanisms of TEAS,its application within multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain,and its potential to serve as a valuable reference for clinicians seeking to optimize postoperative pain management strategies.
