Abstract

Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS), as a non-invasive treatment method, has been increasingly applied in the perioperative period due to its simplicity, non-invasiveness, and high patient acceptance. It has shown certain effects in reducing postoperative complications and promoting postoperative recovery. This review summarizes the research progress of TEAS in perioperative analgesia, improvement of neurocognitive disorders, immune function regulation, alleviation of sleep disturbances, promotion of postoperative recovery, and organ protection, aiming to provide more reference for its clinical application.
