Summary

The need for a surgical procedure may cause a patient to experience reactive anxiety. This reaction is appropriate if it is of low to moderate intensity. On the other hand, various studies have shown that postoperative awakening is more complicated if the patient experiences major preoperative anxiety. Thus, reducing anxiety could be a tool for preventing chronic pain.

For several years now, the investigator's facility has been implementing Energy Resonance through Cutaneous Stimulation (ERCS), a method based on "listening" to the body's vibrations through the fingers on points based on the mapping of meridians in Chinese medicine.

ERCS practitioners have noted the benefits of this method, particularly in soothing patients. It therefore seems necessary to detect and manage this anxiety beforehand and ERCS seems appropriate in this situation.

Conditions

  • Patient Requiring Scheduled Conventional Orthopedic Surgical Intervention of the Upper or Lower Limb

Interventions

OTHER

Energy Resonance through Cutaneous Stimulation

The ERCS method involves "listening" to the body by applying fingers to the acupuncture skin points, developed according to the energy imbalance caused by illness, pain and emotional disorders.

OTHER

questionnaires

Measurement of anxiety-trait and state-anxiety (Spielberger), pain ( numerical scale) and satisfaction (numerical satisfaction scale)
