ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of ginger with P6 acupressure in preventing and treating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in cancer patients. Method: A total of 172 participants were randomly divided into the control, ginger, acupressure, and joint groups, who were hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from February and September 2022. The baseline characteristics, nausea, vomiting, and retching, benefit finding, functional living index-emesis, treatment satisfaction, and adverse reaction, were used in data collection. Results: No significant difference was found in benefit finding and adverse reactions among the four groups (P > 0.05). Ginger significantly improved delayed CINV and function living index-nausea (P < 0.05) but had no significant effect on acute CINV, retching, and delayed vomiting, functional living index-emesis, and treatment satisfaction (P>0.05). Acute nausea and retching, delayed nausea, vomiting, and retching, functional living index-emesis, and treatment satisfaction were effectively improved in the acupressure and joint groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ginger with P6 acupressure may contribute to improving CINV in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto del jengibre con acupresión P6 en la prevención y tratamiento de las náuseas y vómitos (nviq) inducidos por la quimioterapia en pacientes con cáncer. Método: Se dividió al azar A un total de 172 participantes en los grupos control, jengibre, acupresión y conjunto, que fueron hospitalizados en el Hospital afiliado de la universidad médica Xuzhou entre febrero y septiembre de 2022. En la recolección de datos se utilizaron las características basales: náuseas, vómitos y náuseas, hallazgo de beneficios, índice de vida funcional, satisfacción con el tratamiento y reacciones adversas. Resultados: No se encontró diferencia significativa en el hallazgo del beneficio y las reacciones adversas entre los cuatro grupos (P >0.05). El jengibre mejoró significativamente las nviq diferidas y el índice de vida funcional (nausea) de forma significativa (P < 0.05), pero no tuvo un efecto significativo en las nvi, las náuseas y el vómito diferidos, la emesis del índice de vida funcional y la satisfacción con el tratamiento (P >0.05). Las náuseas agudas y las arcadas, las náuseas, los vómitos y las arcadas tardías, la medida del índice de vida funcional y la satisfacción con el tratamiento mejoraron efectivamente en los grupos de acupresión y articulares (P < 0,05). Conclusión: El jengibre con acupresión P6 puede contribuir a mejorar las nviq en pacientes sometidos a quimioterapia.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da compressão do acuponto gengibre e Neiguan na prevenção e tratamento de náuseas e vômitos induzidos por quimioterapia em pacientes oncológicos. Métodos: Um total de 172 pacientes hospitalizados no Hospital Afiliado da Xuzhou Medical University de fevereiro a setembro de 2022 foram divididos aleatoriamente em grupo controle, grupo gengibre, grupo acuponto e grupo combinado. A recolha de dados incluiu principalmente dados basais, pontuação de náuseas, vómitos e vómitos, sensação de benefício da doença, índice de vida funcional, satisfação com o tratamento e efeitos adversos. Resultados: Não houve diferenças significativas no benefício da doença e efeitos adversos entre os quatro grupos (P >0,05). O gengibre melhorou significativamente o índice de vida funcional tardia e náusea (P < 0,05), mas não melhorou a NVI tardia e vómitos e vómitos retardados, o índice de vida funcional dos vómitos e a satisfação com o tratamento (P >0,05). Ambos os grupos de acuponto e combinação melhoraram náuseas agudas, vómitos, náuseas tardias, vómitos, vómitos, vómitos, índice de vida funcional e satisfação com o tratamento (P < 0,05). Conclusão: A acupuntura de gengibre e neiguan pode ajudar a melhorar a NVIQ em pacientes submetidos a quimioterapia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of facial acupoint injection combined with nerve block in treating hemifacial spasm. Methods Fifty?four patients of both sexes, aged 26-73 yr, with the course of disease 6 months-17 yr from February 2015 to January 2016, were included in this study accord?ing to diagnostic criteria for hemifacial spasm based on expert consensus in 2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups(n=27 each)using a random number table: facial acupoint injection combined with nerve block group(group A)and nerve block group(group B). In group A, the mixed injection 2 ml(2% lidocaine hydrochloride 5 ml, compound betamethasone 1 ml, mecobalamin 1 mg, diluted to 18 ml in normal sa?line)was given at facial Sibai, Jiachengjiang, Xiaguan and Yifeng acupoints once every 5 days, 3 times in total;facial nerve block was performed via the stylomastoid foramen with the mixed injection(5 ml) previously described once every 5 days, 3 times in total;stellate ganglion block was performed on the right and left side alternately once a day, 5 times on each side. In group B, patients received facial nerve block and stellate ganglion block, and no facial acupoint injection was applied. The Cohen rating and Shorr out?come were recorded before treatment and at 10th day, 3rd month and 1 yr after treatment, and the recur?rence was recorded at 3 months and 1 yr after treatment. Results Compared with group B, Cohen classifi?cation was significantly decreased, and the effective rate was increased at 10th day, 3rd month and 1 yr af?ter treatment, and the recurrence rate was decreased at 3 months and 1 yr after treatment in group A(P<0.05). Conclusion The facial acupoint injection combined with nerve block produces better long?term ef?ficacy in treating hemifacial spasm than nerve block alone.
