Electroacupuncture and Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorder in Older Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: Protocol for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a critical concern for older patients undergoing cardiac surgery, impacting cognitive function and quality of life. Electroacupuncture and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) hold promise for mitigating PND. This protocol outlines a systematic review and meta-analysis to thoroughly assess the efficacy of electroacupuncture and TEAS in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery with PND, providing up-to-date evidence for PND prevention and treatment.

Objective

This study aimed to thoroughly assess the efficacy of electroacupuncture and TEAS in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery with PND, providing up-to-date evidence for PND prevention and treatment.

Methods

A comprehensive and systematic
