Study on the effect of moxibustion in improving hypercoagulable state of tumor patients
Objective To explore the effect of moxibustion combined with low molecular weight heparin in patients with hypercoagulable tumor.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 128 patients with high coagulation status of tumors hospitalized in the oncology department of a tertiary A Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital from February 2022 to June 2023 as the research subjects.The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group by a random number table method,with 64 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional prevention and treatment measures combined with low molecular weight heparin,while the experimental group was treated with moxibustion on the basis of measures in the control group.The intervention period was 2 courses,with each course lasting 5 days.The thromboelastography and coagulation indicators of the 2 groups of patients were compared on the 1st,6th,and 11th day after enrollment.Results A total of 124 cases completed the experiment,with 2 cases lost in the experimental group and 2 cases lost in the control group.The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there was a time effect on the coagulation reaction time between the 2 groups(F=8.797,P=0.004);simple effects analysis showed that on the 11th day of intervention,the coagulation reaction time in the experimental group was higher than 1st day of intervention,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-2.225,P=0.028).Conclusion Moxibustion combined with low molecular weight heparin can prolong coagulation initiation time,reduce coagulation factor activity,improve hypercoagulability in tumor patients,and thus prevent deep vein thrombosis in tumor patients.
