Clinical Research On The Effect Of Moxibustion On Cancer-related Fatigue

ObjectiveIt is to observe effect of moxibustion at abdomen and lower limbs strong points on the cancer-related fatigue, and to seek solutions to cancer-related fatigue and effective therapy, and to explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine therapy in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue.Method30cases of cancer patients in our hospital were randomly divided into treatment and control groups, each group Contains15people. The treatment group received the moxibustion with Western symptomatic treatment,1time/day, the control group, which only to be Western symptomatic treatment, were treated14days. Differences in disease indices between before and after treatment were observed in the two groups:KPS score, body weight, tumor-associated clinical symptom score, Piper fatigue points, blood analysis (white blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes), T cell subsets and NK cell levels in establishment of a database, And SPSS13.0software was adopted to carry out the data processing and analyses.ResultsThere is no significant difference in statistics between two sexes, age, KPS score and body weight groups (P>0.05), The result indicated that the groups were well-balanced. The results were as follows:①In the reatment group, there was obvious change between the KPS score before and after the treatment(P<0.05), and no significant difference was represented before and after the treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, there was significant difference between the two groups, but there was no significant difference in body weight changes(P>0.05).②In treatment group, the Tumor associated clinical symptom score was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05), while the control group before and after treatment of symptom changed little (P>0.05); after the treatment between the two groups, symptom scores significantly (P<0.05).③The RPFS score of the control group (revised Piper fatigue scale) before and after treatment showed no significant difference (P>0.05), In addition to the emotional dimension, RPFS and three other scores compared with moxibustion treatment group after moxibustion reduce(P<0.05); in the treatment group RPFS total score was significantly higher (P<0.05).④The white blood cells and neutrophils, lymphocytes and hemoglobin in the treatment group had improved than the control group, but there were no significant differences between two groups by statistical disposal (P>0.05). The total T cells, Th, CD4+CD8+Ratio, Nk cells, hemoglobin were higher than before, rise of Ts cells had decreased, But there was no significant difference between the normal level (P>0.05), but according to the findings, moxibustion can make the total T cells, Th relatively increased than before., Ts, decreased than before, immune function tended to be normal.ConclusionsMoxibustion can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of the tumor in patients with cancer-related fatigue, etc., to some extent to improve patients’ quality of life. And allows patients may receive more aggressive treatment, it was worthy of promotion and application.
