摘要
导言如今,由于使用化疗和放疗等常见的癌症治疗方法,癌症患者会出现与这些治疗方法相关的急性或慢性并发症。一些人使用草药等辅助药物来减轻或消除这些副作用。因此,本研究旨在确定草药对 2023 年癌症治疗相关并发症的影响。我们选择了发表在 PubMed/Medline、Scopus、ISI 和 Google Scholar 四个可靠数据库中的随机对照试验研究进行综述。最后,选出 43 篇文章进行最终审查和数据提取。本研究中考虑的草药包括番泻叶、生姜、薰衣草、甘菊、人参、薄荷、利君度、芦荟和人参。此外,服用这类药物后没有出现严重副作用的报告。虽然很多人使用辅助疗法,尤其是药用植物,并知道这是一种安全的治疗方法,但病人和医务人员对药用植物对疾病症状的影响了解甚少。结论总体而言,研究结果表明,药用植物作为一种辅助治疗手段,对改善癌症治疗相关症状和并发症有积极作用。临床医生可以建议患者在使用其他标准药物的同时使用药用植物,甚至单独使用,从而在很大程度上减少副作用,降低患者的治疗费用。
The effect of herbal medicine in relieving complications related to cancer treatments: an evidence-based systematic review
Introduction
Today, cancer patients suffer from acute or chronic complications related to these treatments due to the use of common cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Some people use complementary medicine such as herbal medicine to reduce or eliminate these side effects. Therefore, the current study was designed with the aim of determining the effects of herbal medicines on complications related to cancer treatments in 2023.
Methods
This study is an evidence-based systematic review designed in 2023. Studies of randomised controlled trials that were published in four reliable databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus, ISI and Google Scholar were selected for review. Finally, 43 articles were selected for final review and data extraction. The herbal medicines considered for the present study included Senna, ginger, lavender, chamomile, ginseng, mint, Rikkunshito, Aloe vera and ginseng.
Results
The results of most of the trials showed the favourable effects of herbal medicines in reducing the complications associated with cancer treatments. Also, no serious side effects were reported after taking this class of drugs. Although a large number of people use complementary treatments, especially medicinal plants, and know it as a safe treatment, but patients and medical staff have little information about the effect of medicinal plants on the symptoms of diseases. This situation can lead to improper use of herbal medicines.
Conclusions
In general, the results of the study showed that medicinal plants as a complementary treatment can have a positive effect on the improvement of symptoms and complications related to cancer treatments. Clinicians can suggest the use of medicinal plants along with other standard drugs or even alone to patients and reduce the side effects and costs of patients to a great extent.
