Clinical Trial: TEAS for Ipsilateral Shoulder Pain After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lung Surgery

U.S., March 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07494591) titled 'TEAS for Ipsilateral Shoulder Pain After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lung Surgery' on March 20.

Brief Summary: Shoulder pain is a common problem after certain types of lung surgery called video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study examines whether a treatment called transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) can help reduce this pain. TEAS is a non-invasive technique that uses mild electrical stimulation at specific points on the body.Patients who are having VATS lung surgery will be randomly assigned to either receive TEAS before surgery or standard care. Researchers will measure how much shoulder pain pat...
