Abstract

Background/aims: Gastroscopic procedure causes nausea and retching in many patients. Recently, alternative methods have been employed in an effort to reduce these symptoms. The Neiguan point (P6) is an acupuncture point that has been used for approximately 3,000 years to overcome gastric symptoms including nausea and retching. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the stimulation of the P6 acupoint on swallowing, nausea and retching during the gastroscopic procedure. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-seven patients who visited the gastroenterology unit for dyspeptic complaints were included in the study. A portable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device (Reliefband; Maven Lab, Yuba City, CA) was used for acustimulation. The device was attached 15 minutes before the endoscopic procedure and no sedation was applied. The device was turned on in 78 patients (Group 1). The device was attached but not turned on in another 79 patients (Group 2). In Group 3, the device was attached to the Sham point (n: 79). In Group 4 the procedure was performed with no attachments (n: 77). Fourteen patients dropped out of the study because esophagogastroduodenoscopy could not be completed due to patient intolerance or to obstruction in the upper gastrointestinal tract. After the procedure, each patient’s opinion about the severity of nausea and retching was measured on a visual analogue scale. Distress in swallowing and the impression of the endoscopist during the procedure were scored from 1 to 4. Patients were queried regarding their willingness to undergo re-endoscopy. Results: Groups were compared regarding their distress in swallowing the endoscope, nausea and retching, the impression of the endoscopist during the procedure and their acceptance of re-endoscopy. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were compared using the chi-square test, and no significant difference was observed between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: Acustimulation of the Neiguan (P6) acupoint does not relieve patients of the nausea observed during gastroscopy, and its application does not facilitate the procedure.

Özet

Amaç: Gastroskopik işlemler bir çok hastada bulantı ve öğürmeye neden olmaktadır. Son zamanlarda bu semptomları azaltmak için alternatif yöndemler denenmektedir. Neiguan (P6) noktası bulantı ve öğürme gibi gastrik semptomların üstesinden gelmek için 3000 yıldan beri kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı P6 akupunktur noktasının stimulasyonunun gastroskopi esnasında ortaya çıkan bulantı ve ögürme üzerine olan etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Yöntem: Dispeptik yakınmalarla Gastroenteroloji servisine başvuran 327 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Akusitumulasyon için taşınabilir elektriksel sinir stimulasyon cihazı (Reliefband; Maven Lab. Yuba City, CA) kullanıldı. Cihaz sedasyon uygulanmadan endoskopik işlemin 15 dakika öncesinde bağlandı ve 78 hastada çalıştırıldı (Grup 1). 2. Gruba (n:79) cihaz bağlandı fakat çalıştırılmadı. 3. Gruptaki hastalada (n: 79) cihaz sham akupunktur noktasına bağlandı. 4. Gruptaki hastalara (n: 77) cihaz bağlanmadan işlem yapıldı. İşlemden sonra hastaların bulantı ve öğürme hakkındaki fikirleri görsel analog skala kullanılarak ölçüldü. Yutma güçlüğü ve endoskopistin işlem hakkındaki kanaati 1’den 4’e kadar skorlandı. Hastalara tekrar endoskopi yaptırtıp yaptırtmayacakları soruldu. Bulgular: Gruplar endoskobu yutma güçlüğü, bulantı- öğürme, endoskopistin işlem hakkında kanaati ve hastaların yeni bir endoskopik işlemi kabulleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Ki-kare testi kullanılarak yapılan istatiksel hesaplamalar sonucunda gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi. Sonuç: P6 noktasının akustimulasyonu gastroskopi esnasındaki bulantı kusmayı azaltmamakta ve işlemi kolaylaştırmamaktadır.
