Summary

The effect of transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on the quality of recovery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy surgery remains unclear. Therefore, the investigators conducted this prospective, randomized, double-blind study to verify the hypothesis that pre-operative TEAS could improve the quality of recovery (QoR) after thyroidectomy surgery.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Complications
