A total of 90 subjects underwent abdominal surgery under general anesthesia at Chaoyang Hospital in Beijing. The subjects were divided into a percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation group and a control group. The subjects were selected for TEAS stimulation at the Neiguan, Hegu, and Zusanli acupoints on both sides, and EEG data were collected using a 32 lead EEG cap test throughout the entire process. During the experiment, changes in hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, heart rate) and perioperative pain scores of the subjects will be recorded.
Inclusion Criteria:1. Age between 18 and 80 years; 2. classification I-II; 3. Scheduled to undergo abdominal surgery under general anesthesia (e.g., gastrectomy, colorectal cancer surgery, etc.); 4. Consent to participate in the study and signing of the form.
-
Exclusion Criteria:1. Impaired cognitive function or language communication disorders; 2. Mental disorders, epilepsy, or abnormal EEG activity; 3. Receipt of acupoint therapy within two weeks prior to surgery; 4. Presence of a cardiac pacemaker or metal implants; 5. Allergy to surface electrodes; 6. Concomitant medical conditions (e.g., dermatological disorders) that may affect treatment or trial administration.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Group description: Participants in the reorganization will receive TEAS stimulation at bilateral Neiguan, Hegu, and Zusanli acupoints, and EEG data will be collected throughout the entire process using a 32 lead EEG cap test. During the experiment, changes in hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, heart rate) and perioperative pain scores of the subjects will be recorded.
Device: Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation
Attach electrodes to the same area but do not apply stimulation, while informing the patient that percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation therapy has been performed
Group description: Participants in this group will receive TEAS stimulation at the bilateral Neiguan, Hegu, and Zusanli acupoints 30 minutes before the start of the surgery, and their EEG data will be collected throughout the entire process using a 32 lead EEG cap test. During the experiment, the changes in hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, heart rate) of the subjects during surgery will be recorded, as well as the perioperative pain scores of the subjects at 1 hour and 24 hours after surgery.
Electroencephalogram analysis
Changes in EEG in the experimental group with transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation compared to the baseline, as well as post - operative EEG changes in the experimental group and the control group.Including：node clustering coefficient，node efficiency，normalized mean clustering coefficient，normalized path length，modularity，small-world network
Time frame: Five - minute baseline EEG data with eyes closed during wakefulness；EEG data during pre - operative transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation；Immediate post - operative EEG data
Patients' VAS score
Patients' VAS scores24 hours after surgery
Time frame: 24 hours after surgery

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Feb 2027, 3 months later.
Of 2,094 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, Postoperative, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23. This study's planned 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 2,107 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23.
