Summary
This study is a single-centre randomised controlled trial. It aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based on wrist-ankle acupuncture theory(TENS-WAA) combined with tramadol hydrochloride for analgesia during transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval, by comparing the analgesic effects and the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting between the TENS-WAA combined with tramadol hydrochloride group (experimental group) and the sham TENS-WAA combined with tramadol hydrochloride group (control group). Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. The experimental group received percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based on wrist-ankle acupuncture theory 30 minutes prior to the procedure, at a frequency of 2Hz with current intensity adjusted to the maximum tolerable level.Tramadol hydrochloride 100mg was administered intramuscularly 20 minutes before surgery. The control group received sham stimulation at the lowest intensity under identical conditions. The primary outcome measure was the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary outcome measures included skin conductance response, postoperative nausea scale, and vomiting scale.
