This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on specific acupoints (like acupuncture points) can help you regain bladder control after cervical cancer surgery. If you've had a catheter for a few weeks and haven't been able to pee on your own, this might be an option to help retrain your bladder.
This trial tests whether giving a gentle, needle-free acupoint stimulation before or after stomach cancer surgery helps speed up recovery. The stimulation uses a small device on the skin, similar to a tens unit, to support recovery after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
This study tests whether applying mild electrical stimulation to acupuncture points (using small pads on the skin) before or after surgery can help older patients recover better after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. It aims to see if the timing of this stimulation affects recovery.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin can help older adults recover bowel function faster after minimally invasive colon cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce the time it takes for the bowel to start working normally again after surgery.
This trial tests a gentle, non-needle therapy that stimulates acupoints with mild electrical current to help you recover better after chest surgery. It may reduce pain and speed healing.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture using small electric pulses) can help the stomach empty food faster after surgery for digestive system tumors. The goal is to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of gastroparesis, like nausea and bloating, and help you recover more comfortably.
