TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title THE EFFECT OF TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION ON THE LEVEL OF INTERLEUKIN “6” AND “10” POST PLEURODESIS
Official scientific title THE EFFECT OF TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION ON THE LEVEL OF INTERLEUKIN “6” AND “10” POST PLEURODESIS
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Pleurodesis can be one of the most painful types of incision that patients can experience. Pain may inhibit effective coughing, deep breathing and restrict early postoperative mobilization. As a result, lung ventilation and independence self-care may not be optimal with a tendency to lung infection. Furthermore, inadequate acute postoperative pain management may contribute to the development of a chronic post- pleurodesis pain syndrome. Purpose of the study: To assess the effect of TENS on the level of the (INTERLEUKIN) IL6 and (INTERLEUKIN) IL10 post pleurodesis.
