Treatments
Experimental: TEAS group
Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to either the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS#or the sham groups. In the TEAS group, the acupoints are bilateral neiguan (PC6) , Hegu(L14), Yanglingquan(GB34), Zusanli(ST 36) and Renying(ST9) acupoints. Patients will receive 30min TEAS before anesthesia until be discharged from the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU). The same treatment for 30 min will be performed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days after surgery.The stimulation intensity will be adjusted in accordance with the maximal level tolerated by each patient.
