Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) is a non-invasive intervention to treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain. But clinical studies and applications of CES in relation to acute postoperative pain are few. tThe investigators investigate a double-blind, randomized controlled trial to figure out if intraoperative CES could decrease dosage of intraoperative anesthetics and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) consumption in patients undergoing colon cancer surgery.
