About this study
Official title: Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS)on the Incidence Rate of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) in Patients Undergoing Radical Surgery for Gastric Cancer
The purpose of this study is to access the effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation(TEAS) on the Incidence rate of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) in patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric cancer
Read the detailed description
Patients undergoing elective radical surgery for gastric cancer under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to three groups, control group , TEAS group and sham TEAS group.
TEAS group receiving TEAS before general anesthesia induction , 1th day and 2nd day after surgery. TEAS was given through electrodes attached to specific acupoints. The time for TEAS was 30min.
Sham TEAS group receiving sham TEAS before general anesthesia induction , 1th day and 2nd day after surgery. Sham TEAS was given through electrodes attached to non-acupoints. The time for sham TEAS was also 30min.
Control group were given no TEAS. Incidence rates of SIRS in each group were compared .Venous blood samples from all groups(control group , TEAS group and sham TEAS group) were collected before general anesthesia induction,1th day and 3rd day after surgery. Inflammatory cytokines index including interleukin-6,interleukin-10,Tumor Necrosis Factor- alpha(TNF-α),Interferon-γ(IFN-γ),Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1(MCP-1),IgG,IgM were measured.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control | No intervention | Patients were given no TEAS. |
| TEAS Treatment | Experimental | Patients were given 30min of TEAS before general anesthesia induction, 1th day and 2nd day after surgery. Receives: Device: TEAS |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence rate of SIRS
SIRS is defined as 2 or more of the following variables :
- Fever of more than 38°C (100.4°F) or less than 36°C (96.8°F)
- Heart rate of more than 90 beats per minute
- Respiratory rate of more than 20 breaths per minute or arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) of less than 32mm Hg
- Abnormal white blood cell count (>12,000/µL or < 4,000/µL or >10% immature granulocyte forms)
Incidence rate of SIRS is calculated using the following formula:
(Number of SIRS Cases within the group) / (Number of Cases within the group)
Measured: 1st day after surgery
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change of Inflammatory cytokines
Venous blood samples were collected before general anesthesia induction,1th day and 3rd day after surgery. Inflammatory cytokines index including interleukin-6,interleukin-10,TNF-α,Interferon-γ(IFN-γ),Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1(MCP-1),IgG,IgM were measured.
Measured: 30 minutes before general anesthesia induction and 1st and 3rd day after the surgery
Incidence rate of SIRS

Respiratory rate of more than 20 breaths per minute or arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) of less than 32mm Hg 4. Abnormal white blood cell count (>12,000/µL or < 4,000/µL or >10% immature granulocyte forms) Incidence rate of SIRS is calculated using the following formula: (Number of SIRS Cases within the group) / (Number of Cases within the group)
2 secondary outcomes

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing TEAS in people with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and Inflammation, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence rate of SIRS (time frame: 1st day after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2015.
