Background: Chest pain is one of the most difficult problems to solve after thoracic surgery. Its correct control is often quite difficult, which can cause complications due to an ineffective cough and superficial respiratory movements.
Methods: This study has been designed with the purpose of studying the value of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) in the postoperative pain rehabilitation of thoracotomy.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine how electroacupuncture affects cognitive function, quality of life, and depression severity in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) using a double-blind randomized controlled trial design.
- - Sixty participants aged 18-55 were divided into two groups, one receiving electroacupuncture along with standard medication and the other receiving a placebo acupuncture with the same medication; results were evaluated over 10 weeks.
- - While both groups showed improved cognitive performance, only the electroacupuncture group reported a significant enhancement in subjective cognitive complaints, indicating that electroacupuncture has potential benefits for cognitive symptoms in MDD despite not significantly affecting other areas like quality of life or depressive symptoms.

Objective: To analyze part of the mechanism of electroacupuncture on Sishencong (EX-HN1) for stroke-related sleep disorders (SSD) and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).
Methods: Using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, 72 patients were assigned to the electro-acupuncture (EA) group or the sham acupuncture (SA) group. A healthy control (HC) group was also included.
The effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on cholinergic neural networks in humans: A neurophysiological study.

Objective: The mechanisms of actions of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) are still unclear, however the activity of the cholinergic system seems to be critical for the induction of VNS-mediated plasticity. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a well-suited, non-invasive tool to investigate cortical microcircuits involving different neurotransmitters. Herein, we evaluated the effect of taVNS on short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI), a TMS paradigm specifically measuring cholinergic neurotransmission.
