Effect of Moxibustion on Salt Combined with Auricular Point Seed-Pressing on Gas⁃ trointestinal Reactions Caused by Chemotherapy in Patients with Hematopathy
Abstract:Objective:To observe the effect of moxibustion on salt combined with auricular point seed pressing on gastrointestinal reactions caused by chemotherapy in patients with hematopathy. Methods:A total of 83 cases of patients with hematopathy undergoing chemotherapy were given retrospective selection and divided into the control group and the observation group according to different treatment schemes, with 43 and 40 cases in each group respectively. The control group was intervened with routine nursing, and the observation group was additionally treated with moxibustion on salt combined with auricular seed point pressing based on the treatment of the control group. Before and after treatment,the gastrointestinal symptom scores, Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS) scores, Quality of Life(QOL) scores of tumor patients,and levels of albumin(Alb),growth hormone(GH) and transferrin(TRF) in the two groups were compared. Results:After treatment,each gastrointestinal symptom score in the two groups was decreased when compared with that before treatment(P<0.05),and the score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment,GSRS scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment,and QOL scores were increased(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment,the levels of Alb,GH and TRF in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the levels of Alb,GH and TRF in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Moxibustion on salt combined with auricular point seed pressing can effectively relieve gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with hematopathy undergoing chemotherapy,enhance gastrointestinal tract function and quality of life during treatment,and improve nutritional status.
