Study Summary
We propose to evaluate the use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in patients having undergone Video-Assisted Thoracotomy Surgery (VATS) with the aim to determine if: * Nurses will be able to apply TENS effectively and in a timely manner to post VATS patients. * Use of TENS immediately after thoracic surgery and for the first 48 hours will add to patient's pain control. * Tens will reduce medication use. * Tens will reduce nausea and vomiting.
Primary Outcome
Pain was measured by using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with a range from 1-10; with 0 being no pain and 10 being severe pain. Pain scores were measured from hour 1 to hour 48 for each patient. Some scores were missed when patients were asleep. In these cases, the previous score was used.
