Effect of Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation (TAES) on Postoperative Cough in Lung Cancer 84
Clinical Trial NCT06548711 is an interventional study for Postoperative Cough, Lung Cancer that is recruiting. It started on 17 April 2024 with plans to enroll 84 participants. Led by Kong Fanming, it is expected to complete by 17 June 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 8 September 2025.
Brief Summary
Observation and exploration of the improvement in cough symptoms in postoperative lung cancer patients with Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation (TAES), the change in Cough Symptom Score (CSS) compared to baseline, the change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for cough symptoms compared to baseline, the change in total score of Leicester Cough Questionnaire-Mandarin Chinese version (LCQ-MC) compared to bas...Show More
Detailed Description
To obtain sufficient evidence from evidence-based medicine, prospective, random, blind, and controlled clinical trials are adopted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TEAS in treating postoperative cough in lung cancer patients. This study aims to provide a potential non-pharmacological treatment option for postoperative cough patients with lung cancer, improve the quality of life of postoperative lung cancer...Show More

Arms / Interventions
| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
ExperimentalTEAS group The patient takes a sitting position, uses alcohol to wipe the skin at the selected acupoint, waits for it to dry, and then applies the electrode patch. Connect the percutaneous acupoint electric stimulator and provide transcutaneous acupoint electric stimulation, selecting a continuous wave at 2 Hz. | Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation (TAES) Transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) is a non-invasive treatment method that delivers gentle electrical pulses through the skin to specific acupuncture points on the body. This technique aims to mimic the effects of traditional acupuncture, providing a convenient and painless method of treatment. |
Sham ComparatorSham TEAS group The electrode patch is placed on the acupoint, similar to the TEAS group patients, but without starting the electric stimulation, and indicates to the patient that there will be no special sensation during the treatment process. The electrode is well protected during the operation and will not come off. | Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation (TAES) Transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) is a non-invasive treatment method that delivers gentle electrical pulses through the skin to specific acupuncture points on the body. This technique aims to mimic the effects of traditional acupuncture, providing a convenient and painless method of treatment. |
Primary Outcome Measures
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
LCQ-MC | The questionnaire consists of 19 items, each of which is divided into 7 levels according to the severity, including the impact of chronic cough on the physiological domain (chest pain, cough, sputum, fatigue, sleep, hoarseness, etc.), psychological domain (feeling embarrassed, anxious, depressed, annoyed, etc.), and social domain (work, daily life, leisure activities, conversation, phone calls, interference with friends or family members). The score for each domain is the total score of each item in that domain divided by the number of questions (scored from 1 to 7), and the total score is the sum of the scores for the three domains (scored from 3 to 21). A higher score represents a better patient's health condition. | Prior to treatment (baseline), at the end of treatment (week 2), and 2 weeks after the end of treatment (week 4) |
