No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The proposed research will utilize electroacupuncture, a type of needleless acupuncture that uses electrostimulation, in a randomized, double blind study, to evaluate the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing spinal surgeries with the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) compared to patients without TEAS.

Conditions

  • PONV

Interventions

DEVICE

TEAS via ES-130

Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation will be administered delivered by the ES-130 device for 20 minutes at the time ondansetron is given (typically 30 minutes before the end of surgery). Subjects randomized to this intervention will have the TEAS device connected to the previously placed ECG patches to deliver the stimulus.

OTHER

No TEAS

No Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation will be delivered to the subjects randomized to this group; ECG patches will be placed at the identified acupoints, however, no electrical stimulus will be delivered.
