      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Simple individual randomization with randomization with envelopes in two groups A and B.‏
In this method, we selected a number of cards or letters as an intervention group and the same ‎number of cards for the control group, then the cards were merged. One card was taken out and its ‎allocation was registered and the card was returned to the other cards after leaving. Then the cards ‎are merged again and we remove another card. This process continues to reach a random sequence ‎according to sample size, Blinding description: This study is double blind. Researcher who complete questionnaire and analyzer and participant are blind (double blind). Outcome assessor and analyzer don't aware from grouping.The person evaluating the outcome is unaware of the grouping. Groups A and B  are available to analyzer and outcome assessor.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In the TENS group, 4 pads are placed on each side of the waist around L1 to T10 for half an hour 1, 6, and 12 hours after surgery.  Pad sizes are 40 x 100.To study the frequency of the device is set to 100 Hz. The device is for Body Clock Health Care London.With an output of 0 to 110 mA, which is represented by Tasmanim Arman Behbod Company in Iran. Intervention 2: Control group: In the Apotel group, one gram in 10 ml of normal saline was given in recovery and continued for 24 hours postoperatively.</i_freetext>
