About this study

This study aims to increase the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for acute postoperative pain relief. TENS, a non-pharmacological treatment using electrical impulses, can enhance pain relief, reduce opioid use, and minimize side effects. Despite its benefits, TENS is underused in healthcare. This project will provide TENS education, support from experienced "superusers," and nudging techniques to encourage staff to adopt TENS, ultimately improving pain management and recovery for postoperative patients.
