Summary
The study evaluates the effect of TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
treatment for first line of treatment compared with conventional treatment with opioids on
pain relief and time spent time in the post-anesthesia care unit after laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. Half of the patients are randomized to TENS as first line of treatment and
the second half is randomized to conventional opioid treatment. Patients who does not report
postoperative pain which requires treatment are used as controls.
