Abstract: CTENS and ITENS after median sternotomy for CABG decreased pain and reduced narcotic requirements more than in the PTENS and control treatments during first postoperative 24 hours. Neither CTENS nor ITENS is superior to the other in decreasing pain; however, CTENS leads to a greater reduction in the narcotic requirement than ITENS.

“…It has been shown to reduce postoperative pain following cardiac surgery [6], cholecystectomy [7], caesarean section [8] and thoracotomy [9], and is sometimes used as an adjunct to reduce postoperative systemic analgesic requirements [10]. We decided to perform a randomised, double-blind study to evaluate the effect of intra-operative TENS on postoperative neck pain in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.…”

“…Evidence regarding its use in chronic pain is mixed. [134][135][136][137] Thoracic epidural anesthesia Benefit for acute postoperative pain; no known impact on chronic pain Intrathecal opioid injection Improved analgesia and decreased opioid consumption in acute postoperative period; no known benefit in the long term Paravertebral block Trend toward improved acute pain control as compared with thoracic epidural anesthesia; no known role for chronic pain prevention Intrapleural local anesthetic injection Improved early postoperative pain control (first postoperative day) Continuous wound catheter for prolonged local anesthetic delivery Improved acute postoperative pain; no data on chronic pain…”

“…They allocated 100 patients in 4 groups: 1) continuous TENS and pharmacologic analgesia, 2) intermittent TENS and pharmacologic analgesia, 3) placebo TENS and pharmacologic analgesia, and 4) pharmacologic analgesia alone. Results of Solak et al, study showed that both continuous and intermittent TENS are effective with similar effect in decreasing CABG patients' pain after surgery [14]. In another study with pretest-posttest design in 2012, Özer et [10].…”

“…Nonpharmacologic therapies for pain relief have become increasingly popular among researchers in recent years. At now, several non-pharmacologic therapies have been proposed to relieve post cardiac surgery pain including muscle relaxation, cold gel pack, music therapy, massages therapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), electroacupuncture and prayer [10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. In one study in this regards in 2009, Sadeghi et al, examined the effect of foot reflex massage on postoperative pain in patients after CABG.…”
