Summary

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) has been shown to decrease the need of opioids including remifentanil during anaesthesia. However, it is not clear whether combination of two or more acupoints could induce stronger analgesia. Moreover, evidence for the long-term effect of TEAS has been limited. The present study was to compare the short-term and long-term effect on pain of dual-acupoint and single-acupoint TEAS.
