Observation on effect of electroacupuncture of different frequencies on patients after thyroid surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Conclusion Acupuncture anesthesia combined with drugs has better postoperative effect than drug anesthesia. Electroacupuncture of different frequencies can significantly improve general quality of life of patients, so patients recover well after thyroid surgery. As patients in group C suffered from the slightest pain with the highest quality of life, they recovered best within the shortest time. Electroacupuncture at frequency of 2 Hz/100 Hz can better play postoperative analgesic effect.
