title: [Analgesic transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation following surgery of the abdominal organs].
abstract: The effect of continuous antinociceptive transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS) has been studied in 94 patients after abdominal surgery. The analysis of the clinical findings and sinus heart rhythm has demonstrated a strong enough analgesic effect of TENS, which was accompanied by a considerable, more than 4-fold, reduction in narcotic analgesics requirements, lower incidence of functional urination disturbances, intestinal paresis, retention of the regulating role of the autonomous nervous system, stable hemodynamics and on the whole a more smooth and safe course of the early postoperative period.
