Objective To explore the utility value of electroacupuncture in the treatment of patients with postoperative headache after brain surgery. Methods:A total of 114 patients were selected for the comparison experiment and grouped in a blind sampling method, with 57 patients in the control group and 57 patients in the observation group, the former of which were treated with conventional western medicine, and the latter of which were combined with electroacupuncture treatment on this basis, and the clinical effects of the two groups were evaluated and analysed. RESULTS: The experimental results showed that the headache scores of patients in the observation group were lower than those of the control group in 3, 5, and 7d after the operation, and the postoperative relief and elimination of headache time were shorter (P＜0.05), while at the same time, the overall satisfaction of patients in the observation group with the treatment programme was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Electroacupuncture therapy can effectively reduce the pain of patients, improve their overall comfort and satisfaction, and make them maintain a good recovery state after surgery.
