The effect of tens on pain, function, depression, and analgesic consumption in the early postoperative period with spinal surgery patients

AMAÇ: Çalışmamızın amacı spinal cerrahi geçiren hastalarda TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) kullanımının ağrı, fonksiyonellik, depresyon ve analjezik ajanlar ile olan etkisini incelemektir. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇler: 54 hasta randomize olarak Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) ve TENS ile sadece PCA olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Hastaların ağrı düzeyleri Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Fonksiyonel düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesinde Timed Up and Go testi (TUG) kullanılmıştır. Depresyon düzeyleri Beck Depresyon Anketi ile ölçülmüştür. Tüm ölçümler operasyon öncesi ve operasyon sonrası birinci ve ikinci günlerde yapılmıştır. Analjezik tüketimine bağlı yan etkiler kaydedilmiştir. BULGULAR: Operasyondan sonraki birinci ve ikinci günlerde, TENS grubu aktivitelerinde ağrı düzeylerinde anlamlı derecede azalma gözlenmiştir (p<0,05). TENS grubunda analjezik ajan kullanımı azalmış ve yan etkiler daha az gözlenmiştir. Fonksiyonel durum ve depresyon düzeyleri açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı derecede fark yoktur (p>0,05). SONUÇ: TENS analjezik kullanımı ve ilaç kullanımına bağlı yan etkilerin oluşumunu önlemek açısından ağrı kontrolünde etkindir.

Postoperatif erken dönemde tens kullanımının analjezik tüketimi ve analjeziklerle ilişkili yan etkiler üzerine etkisi

Öz:

AIm: The aim of our study was to examine the effects of the use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in patients who had undergone spinal surgery on pain, functionality, depression and consumption of analgesic agents. Ma terIal and Methods: Fifty-Four patients were randomized and placed into two groups, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) plus TENS and only PCA. To assess the pain levels of the patients, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used. In the assessment of their functional levels, the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) was utilized and in the assessment of their depression, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used. The measurements were performed before the operation and on the first and second postoperative days. The side effects were recorded from the analgesic agents. Results: During the first and second days after the operation, a decrease in the pain levels was noticed in the TENS group (p<0.05. In the TENS group, the consumption of analgesic agents also decreased and thus side effects were less frequent. From the viewpoint of functional and depression levels, no significant difference between the groups was noticed (p>0.05). ConclusIon: TENS was effective in reducing analgesic agent-related side effects and in reducing analgesic consumption. In addition, TENS also decreased activity related pain.
