Summary

To ensure early mobilization, minimize suffering, and to prevent postoperative complications postoperative pain should be reduced as soon and as effectively as possible.

A non-pharmacological post-operative intervention in terms of the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), could have the potential to accelerate early mobilization and reduce the use of opioids.

The overall aim is to demonstrate that the addition of TENS to standard postoperative pain management of orthopedic patients can alleviate pain during mobilization and at rest as well as reduce opioid consumption.
