[Transcutaneous electrostimulation--method leading to a permeation system of electroanalgesia in oncological practice].
Analgetic transcutaneous electrostimulation with the newly-designed Soviet-made ELIMAN-101 installation was used for treatment of tumor-induced pain in 84 cases (as a component of general intraoperative anesthesia--in 29, for postoperative pain--54, for analgesia in cases of advanced tumor--in 11 patients). Intraoperative application of the said procedure resulted in a 2.4-fold decrease in phentanyl consumption. In early postoperative period, pain was relieved in 65.6% and alleviated in 34.5% of patients, the latter requiring non-narcotic drugs as an adjunct to electroanalgetic treatment. Transcutaneous electrostimulation offered an adequate means for management of chronic cancer pain. The procedure did not involve resistance development and ensured a nearly 6-fold decrease in opiates consumption.
