ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of salt-partitioned moxibustion at Zhongwan (CV12) in treating belching due to chemotherapy.Method Subjects with chemotherapy-induced belching were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 in each group. The control group was intervened by intramuscular injection with Ritalin 20 mg, while the observation group was by salt-partitioned moxibustion at Zhongwan for 30 min in addition to the intramuscular injection.Result The total effective rate was 93.3% in the observation group versus 76.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); the action latency in the observation group was (1.7±1.8)min in the observation group versus (15.6±4.2)min, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion Salt-partitioned moxibustion at Zhongwan is significantly effective in treating chemotherapy-induced belching, and it’s easy-to-operate, efficient, and safe.
