Summary

This study looks at whether adding a mild electrical stimulation device (like a TENS unit) to standard pain management can reduce pain and improve quality of life for 90 people recovering from lung cancer surgery. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to lower inflammation and reliance on painkillers. It is not a cure, but a way to ease symptoms after surgery.
