Effect of Mild Moxibustion,Salt Separated Moxibustion and Acupoint Application on Nausea and Vomiting after Chemotherapy of Breast Cancer and Its Influence on Serum Pepsinogen
Objective To analyze the influence of mild moxibustion,salt separated moxibustion and acupoint application on breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods 500 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy in Weihai Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2023 to September 2023 were selected as the research objects and divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table,with 250 cases in each group.The control group received treatment with tropisetron and acupoint application,while the observation group received mild moxibustion and salt separated moxibustion on the basis of the control group.The incidence,severity,serum pepsinogen levels of nausea and vomiting and quality of life between two groups were compared.Results The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the observation group was 10.40%,which was lower than the control group's 17.60%,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The degree of nausea and vomiting in the observation group was milder than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After chemotherapy,the level of pepsinogen Ⅰ in the observation group was(83.41±10.53)μg/L,the level of pepsinogenⅡwas(13.49±1.35)μg/L,which were lower than(101.35±11.77)μg/L,(15.21±1.89)μg/L in the control group,there were statistically significant differences between groups(P<0.05).After chemotherapy,the Comprehensive Evaluation Questionnaire for Quality of Life scores in the observation group were(79.96±4.88)points,(78.53±4.29)points,(80.24±5.34)points,and(79.95±4.53)points in all dimensions,which were higher than(70.53±4.21)points,(69.64±3.45)points,(71.63±4.57)points,and(70.88±3.61)points in the control group,respectively,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Mild moxibustion,salt separated moxibustion and acupoint application can effectively reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy,regulate the level of pepsinogen,help improve the quality of life,have certain application value.
