Clinical efficacy of orange peel and bamboo granule in the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in patients with malignant tumors
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of orange peel and bamboo granule in the treatment of chemo-therapy induced nausea and vomiting(CINV)in patients with malignant tumors.Method A total of 72 malignant tumors patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group using random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The control group received routine antiemetic treatment,while the treatment group received orange peel and bamboo granule combined with routine antiemetic treatment.The nausea,vomiting,appetite,traditional Chinese med-icine syndrome scores,as well as the health status[Karnofsky performance status(KPS)]and quality of life[European Or-ganization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire core 30(EORTC QLQ-C30)]were com-pared between the two groups.Result After treatment,the total effective rate of nausea in the treatment group was 94.44%,which was higher than 72.22%in the control group,the total effective rate of vomiting was 88.89%,which was higher than 63.89%in the control group,the total effective rate of appetite loss was 88.89%,which was higher than 63.89%in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of the treatment group were lower than those before treatment and the control group,the total effective rate of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome was 88.89%,which was higher than 69.44%of the con-trol group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the KPS and EORTC QLQ-C30 scores in the treatment group were higher than those before treatment and the control group,and the differences were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of orange peel and bamboo granule on malignant tumor patients with CINV is significant,which can significantly improve the patient's appetite,health status,and quality of life.
