Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of refined nursing combined with Zhao's thunder-fire moxibustion in treating patients with gastric cancer (GC) of spleen-Qi deficiency syndrome.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. Ninety patients with GC of spleen-Qi deficiency syndrome admitted to Baoding Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2022 to March 2023 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. Patients in the control group were intervened with XELOX chemotherapeutic regimen + routine nursing. On this basis, patients in the observation group were additionally treated with refined nursing combined with Zhao's thunder-fire moxibustion. Changes in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, KPS scores for physical status, and quality of life (QOL) scores were observed and compared between the two groups before and after treatment.
Results: After treatment, the scores of anorexia, fatigue and weakness, postprandial abdominal bloating, loose stools, mental fatigue and laziness to speak decreased significantly in the two groups (P< 0.05), and each TCM syndrome score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P< 0.05). After treatment, KPS and QOL scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P< 0.05). The overall nursing satisfaction was 93.3% (42/45) in the observation group, which was significantly higher than 71.1% (32/45) in the control group (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Refined nursing combined with Zhao's thunder-fire moxibustion can alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients with GC of spleen-Qi deficiency syndrome, reduce chemotherapeutic-induced adverse reactions, with high clinical application value.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
