摘要
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) for symptoms,life quality and sleep quality in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD). METHODS: A total of 46 GERD patients were randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group,23 cases in each one. The conventional medication and nursing were applied in the two groups. TENS was used at Neiguan(PC 6) and Zusanli(ST 36) in the observation group for 4 weeks,20 min a time,twice a day. The indexes were compared between the two groups before and after treatment,including reflux disease questionnaire,the MOS 36-item short-form,Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI). RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: TENS at Neiguan(PC 6) and Zusanli(ST 36) can improve the clinical symptoms,life quality and sleep quality of GERD based on the conventional treatment.
