本文报告用针灸方法治疗因化疗引起白细胞下降的中、晚期恶性肿瘤患者376例,观察结果:总有效率温针组(121例)为88.4%,艾炷灸组(221例)为90.9%,两者比较 P>0.05,无显著性差异;与药物对照组有效率38.2%比较 P<0.01,有极显著差异。作者认为针灸治疗化疗引起的白细胞减少症是一种疗效高、见效快、经济方便、无毒副作用、易于推广的好方法。
The effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on 376 cases of chemotherapy-induced leu- kocytopenia was observed in patients with malignant tumors in the intermediary and advanced stages.Findings revealed that the total effect in 121 cases(88.4%)occurred in the group treated with acupuncture and moxibustion with warming needle;white the total effect in 221 cases (90.9%) was in the group treated with moxibustion with ignited moxa cone.A comparison made between the 2 groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05).The total effective rate was 38.2% when compared With the control group using batylalcohol and pentoxyl and so the difference was significant(P<0. 01).Analysis found that with patients having higher basic WBC value,the effect would be higher. Conversely,those who had lower basic value in their WBCs,the expected effect would be lower. These findings suggest that acupuncture and moxibustion in raising the effect on the white cells were influenced by the extent to which the bone marrow was inhibited,having no relevance to the kind of disease,the chemotherapy regime,and the treatment course which the patient was in.
