Objective To compare the effects of different moxibustion methods on cancer-induced fatigue in patients with gastrointestinal tumors during chemotherapy,and provide evidence for improving the efficacy of adjuvant therapy for gas-trointestinal tumors.Methods A total of 108 patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who received postoperative chemotherapy in Jinhua Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2021 to April 2023 were selected and ran-domly divided into the conventional group,the traditional group,and the moxibustion warm group with 36 cases in each group according to random number table method.Cancer fatigue degree,quality of life,and blood routine were compared before and after intervention.Results After the intervention,the scores of all dimensions(emotional,physical,and cognitive)and the total score of the cancer fatigue scale in the traditional group and the warm moxibustion group were sig-nificantly lower than those in the conventional group(P＜0.05).After the intervention,all QLQ-C30 scales(physical,role,emotional,cognitive,social,overall quality of life,fatigue,nausea and vomiting,pain,dyspnea,sleep disorders,appetite loss,constipation,diarrhea,and perceived economic hardship)in the traditional group were significantly better than those in the conventional group,and the scores in the moxibustion warm group were significantly better than those in the traditional group(P＜0.05).After the intervention,red blood cell count and platelet count were(4.98±1.63)× 1012/L and(141.96±27.85)×109/L in the traditional group,and(5.65±0.74)×1012/Land(149.75±26.89)× 109/L in moxibustion warm group,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the conventional group(4.15±1.52)×1012/Land(133.76±25.77)×109/L(F=4.255,8.175,both P＜0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion can effectively relieve the symptoms of cancer-related fatigue in patients with gastrointestinal tumors during chemotherapy,and improve the level of blood routine and their quality of life.Moxibustion applied at 41-42℃ is more conducive to im-proving the efficacy of moxibustion.
