| Data collection tools in this study include a personal information form and a medical information form to obtain patient data, as well as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) as a tool for pain measurement and assessment. The personal information form contains demographic information (age, gender, marital status, ethnicity). The medical information includes length of hospital stay, type of surgery, and duration of the intervention.Pain Assessment ToolThe tool used to assess pain in patients is the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). This scale is divided into ten parts and is numbered from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the most severe pain. In this study, we select patients who report pain, meaning those who indicate a score between 1 and 10 on the VAS. Timepoint: They will be exposed to electrical current for 30 minutes, and this duration is the same for all intervention groups. For each individual, only one method of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation will be used. Since sampling is convenient and there is no time restriction for participation in the study, patients can enter the study at any time. Immediately after the intervention, patients’ pain will be reassessed using the VAS scale and compared with their pain levels before the intervention. Method of measurement: Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), we measured the pain intensity, and the score obtained by the participant on the VAS ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10. | — |
