Effects of Moxibustion Therapy on Preventing and Treating Side Effects from Chemotherapy of Malignant Tumor Patients

目的:观察灸法治疗恶性肿瘤患者化疗毒副反应的临床疗效。方法:将63例恶性肿瘤患者随机分为3组。艾灸组23例,采用灸法治疗;水针组22例,采用穴位注射治疗;对照组18例,采用口服鲨肝醇治疗。观察各组患者治疗前后白细胞总数及免疫球蛋白含量的变化。结果:治疗后艾灸组、水针组白细胞总数及免疫球蛋白含量均有提高,与对照组有统计学差异(P<0.05,P<0.01);在提高白细胞总数方面,水针组优于艾灸组(P<0.05)。结论:艾灸、水针可防治恶性肿瘤化疗毒副反应;在防治恶性肿瘤化疗毒副反应方面,不同针灸方法具有不同的效果。

Objective： To observe the clinical effects of moxibustion therapy on preventing and treating toxic and side effects of chemotherapy in malignant tumor patients. Methods： A total of 63 cases were randomly divided into three groups. Twenty-three cases in the moxibustion group were treated by moxibustion, and 22 cases in the hydro-acupuncture group were treated by acupoint injection, and 18 cases in the control group were treated by oral administration of Batilol tablets. The changes of the white blood cell count and the content of immunoglobulin before and after the treatments were observed. Results： After treatments, the total leukocyte count and the content of immunoglobulin were all elevated in the moxibustion group and the hydro-acupuncture group, with statistical difference when compared with the control group （P〈0.05, P〈0.01）. In the elevation of the white blood cell count, the hydro-acupuncture group was better than the moxibustion group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Moxibustion and hydro-acupuncture can be used to treat and prevent toxic and side effects of chemotherapy. From this aspect, the different needling techniques possess different effects.
