Analysis of the significance of acupoint application of Xiao'ai Zhitong Powder combined with needle embedding therapy on postoperative pain and gastrointestinal function in patients with colorectal cancer
Objective To analyze the significance of acupoint application of Xiao'ai Zhitong Powder combined with needle embedding therapy on postoperative pain and gastrointestinal function in patients with colorectal cancer.Methods 60 patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group received routine clinical treatment,while the experimental group received acupoint application of Xiao'ai Zhitong Powder and needle embedding therapy after surgery on the basis of the control group.The recovery of gastrointestinal function,clinical effect,and clinical pain of the two groups were compared.Results The clinical treatment effect of the experimental group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The gastrointestinal function recovery time,bowel sound recovery time,first anal exhaust time and first defecation time of the experimental group were(4.79±0.45),(2.11±0.18),(2.67±0.55)and(3.12±1.01)d,which were shorter than(7.99±0.51),(3.75±0.42),(3.20±0.66)and(4.21±1.03)d of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of the experimental group were(5.62±0.15),(3.30±0.12)and(1.62±0.15)points on the 1st,2nd and 3rd day postoperatively,which were lower than(6.61±0.13),(5.35±0.21)and(3.66±0.13)points of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupoint application of Xiao'ai Zhitong Powder combined with needle embedding therapy has a significant clinical effect on postoperative patients with colorectal cancer,and can relieve the pain intensity,promote patients to recover as soon as possible,which is worth promoting.
