Detailed Description:
Postoperative pain is caused by tissue damage from surgical incisions, triggering acute nociceptive activity in sensory nerve endings. Pain sensations reach the brain through dorsal horn, where it is recognized and interpreted. Management modalities include pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods. This study aims to provide a guideline on the effect of acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on pain reduction after upper abdominal surgeries.
