“…When comparing the values of pain before and after the application of the treatment, it was observed that the patients submitted to electroanalgesia presented a rather significant reduction of pain (P = 0.03). Similar data were found by Foster et al [10] and Navarathnam et al [13].…”

“…Similar results were achieved by Foster et al [10] when studying 45 patients in which TENS was applied as a supportive measure to medicine analgesia in the postoperative of patients submitted to myocardial revascularization surgery. This author performed three spirometric measurements; being the first, 24 hours after the surgery; the second after 48 hours and the third, 72 hours after the operation.…”

“…Foster et al [10], in the postoperative of a myocardial revascularization surgery, used TENS for a continuous period of 72 hours, with wave frequency set up at 278 Hz and pulse sequence in 60 µs. Benedetti et al [11], in a similar postoperative situation, established the wave frequency at 100 Hz and pulse sequence in 400 µs in the eletroanalgesia application for one hour, followed by one hour of rest, over a total period of 12 hours.…”

Papel da eletroanalgesia na função respiratória de pacientes submetidos à operação de revascularização do miocárdioThe role of electroanalgesia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery Abstract Objective: To assess the electroanalgesia as an effective method in the reduction of pain and consequent improvement in lung function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.Methods: During the period of one year were studied 30 patients undergoing surgery for treatment of the ischemic coronary disease. After randomization, 15 patients were allocated in the study group (that received electroanalgesia) and 15 patients from the control group (placebo). From the 1 st until the 5 th postoperative day were performed two applications of eletroanalgesia or the placebo current, according to the group where the patient was allocated.Results: There was a reduction in the levels of pain in the study group compared to the control group, evidenced by the value P<0,05; however, there is no evidence of statistical difference of the spirometric variables between them.Conclusion: The group that did eletroanalgesia presented reduction in the intensity of postoperative pain, which however did not mean improvement in respiratory function of these patients.

BACKGROUNDPain is not only an unpleasant sensation but also increases morbidity of any operation like atelectasis, ileus, requirement of intensive care and increase in hospital stay. By neuro-modulation based on the gate control theory, we can achieve the similar results as with pharmaceutics without their side effects. Aim of this study was to compare the Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) with Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in terms of postoperative pain and duration of pain relief by using a visual analogue scale.

Background: Respiratory muscle strength has been related to the postoperative outcome of cardiac surgeries. The main documented therapeutic purpose of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is the reduction of pain, which could bring secondary benefits to the respiratory muscles and, consequently, to lung capacities and volumes.Objectives: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of short-duration transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in the reduction of pain and its possible influence on respiratory muscle strength and lung capacity and volumes of patients in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery.Methods: Twenty five patients with mean age of 59.9 ± 10.3 years, of whom 72% were men, and homogeneous as regards weight and height, were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received therapeutic TENS (n = 13) and the other, placebo TENS (n = 12), for four hours on the third postoperative day of cardiac surgery. Pain was analyzed by means of a visual analogue scale, and of respiratory muscle strength as measured by maximum respiratory pressures and lung capacity and volumes before and after application of TENS.
