NCT ID NCT06748898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive device that uses mild electrical pulses (TENS-WAA) could lower the dose of a strong painkiller (remifentanil) needed to keep heart rate and blood pressure stable during anesthesia. Sixty adults undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled. The goal was to find the most effective drug dose when using the device, aiming to reduce side effects and improve safety.
