Furthermore, the fact that the leading authors of massage research are often specialized in specific fields and that there is limited collaboration between authors plays an important role in determining the future directions of massage research and highlights the need to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration.

Review Meta Analysis
Application of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) for Management of Postoperative Pain After Gynecological Surgeries: A Meta-Analysis.
Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) is a noninvasive technique that involves the application of electrical stimulation to specific acupoints on the skin. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of TEAS in alleviating postoperative pain after gynecological surgeries. ⋯ Overall, the findings of this meta-analysis suggest that TEAS may be a promising adjunctive therapy for alleviating postoperative pain in gynecological surgery patients. However, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results and making clinical recommendations based on the low to moderate quality of the current evidence. Further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these results and establish optimal treatment protocols for TEAS in this patient population.
