Observation on clinical efficacy of abdominal acupuncture and moxibustion combined with exercise therapy on patients with cancer-related fatigue
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of abdominal acupuncture and moxibustion combined with exercise therapy on patients with cancer-related fatigue.Methods A total of 60 patients with cancer-related fatigue were studied and randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with acupuncture combined with abdominal acupuncture and moxibustion,and the treatment group was treated with exercise therapy on the basis of the control group.The multi-dimensional fatigue inventory(MFI)score and Karnofsky performance scale(KPS)score of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.Results Before treatment,there was no significant difference in MFI score between the two groups(P>0.05).There were significant differences in MFI scores between the two groups before treatment and after 1,2,4 and 6 months of treatment(P<0.05).After 1,2,4 and 6 months of treatment,MFI scores of the treatment group were(76.47±4.70),(73.67±4.21),(71.30±4.63)and(68.83±4.56)points,which were significantly lower than(78.80±4.03),(75.97±4.34),(73.70±4.28)and(71.40±4.43)points of the control group(P<0.05).Before treatment,there was no significant difference in KPS score between the two groups(P>0.05).There were significant differences in KPS score before treatment and after 1,2,4 and 6 months of treatment(P<0.05).After 1,2,4 and 6 months of treatment,the KPS scores of the treatment group were(66.33±4.90),(68.67±4.34),(70.33±3.20)and(73.00±5.35)points,which were significantly higher than(63.33±4.79),(65.67±5.68),(67.00±5.35)and(68.67±4.34)points of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Abdominal acupuncture and moxibustion combined with exercise therapy can effectively relieve the fatigue symptoms of patients with cancer-related fatigue,help to improve the quality of life of patients,and has high clinical application value.
