Analysis of the effect of umbilical moxibustion combined with three step analgesic method in treating deficiency-cold type cancer pain
Objective To analyze the effect of umbilical moxibustion combined with three step analgesic method in treating deficiency-cold type cancer pain. Methods 74 patients with deficiency-cold type cancer pain were divided into a control group and an observation group by random numerical table,with 37 cases in each group. The control group was treated with three-step analgesic method,and the observation group was treated with umbilical moxibustion and three-step analgesic method. The clinical efficacy,analgesia,Numerical Rating Score (NRS),quality of life (QOL) score and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score of the two groups were compared. Results The effective time of analgesia of (20.16±3.37) min in the observation group was shorter than (42.06±9.17) min in the control group;the duration of analgesia of (8.89±0.85) h in the observation group was longer than (6.39±0.75) h in the control group;the average dosage of indometacin enteric-coated tablets,paracetamol and dihydrocodeine tartrate and morphine sulfate sustained-release tablets were (85.26±14.07),(80.26±11.17) and (82.26±16.39) mg in the observation group,which were lower than (130.26±15.93),(150.26±13.95) and (115.69±20.17) mg in the control group (P<0.05). Before treatment,NRS,QOL and PSQI scores were slightly different between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the observation group had NRS score of (2.95±0.31) points and PSQI score of (9.16±1.17) points,which were lower than (4.45±0.52) and (12.62±1.25) points in the control group;QOL score of (45.37±5.52) points in the observation group was higher than (33.17±4.95) points in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 97.30%,which was significantly higher than 81.08% of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of umbilical moxibustion and three step analgesia method can achieve satisfactory clinical efficacy for patients with deficiency-cold type cancer pain,effectively improve the analgesic effect,and improve the patient's sleep quality and quality of life.
