Efficacy of Percutaneous Electrical Neurostimulation (PENS)of the Auricle as an Opioid Sparing Postoperative Analgesic Technique in Cancer Endometrium and Cancer Cervix

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Pain relief following laparotomy surgery requires a variety of techniques including invasive ones like epidural or nerve blocks along with different classes of drugs, out of which opioids are most predominant. Each of these drugs have with their own set of advantages and also side effects. An ideal common system of analgesia is not possible due to patient variability. And no drug is devoid of side effects. Hence the aim is to ensure effective analgesia using drugs or techniques which are minimally invasive with negligible side effects.
