改良治痹方针刺治疗气虚血瘀型化疗后周围神经毒性的临床疗效观察改良治痹方针刺治疗气虚血瘀型化疗后周围神经毒性的临床疗效观察

摘要：

目的：本研究旨在探讨改良治痹方针刺治疗气虚血瘀型化疗后周围神经毒性的临床疗效。

方法：选择符合条件的患者100例，按照随机数字表法分为对照组和实验组各50例，对照组采用常规治疗，实验组采用针刺治疗，比较两组治疗后患者的近期和长期疗效，分析临床观察效果。

结果：实验组的临床有效率为92%，对照组的有效率为76%，实验组的有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.01)。治疗后，实验组的神经病理损伤程度、神经功能评分和生活质量评分均明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。

结论：改良治痹方针刺治疗疗效优良，可以有效改善化疗后周围神经毒性引起的神经损伤和生活质量下降，值得在临床中推广应用。

VariouspharmacologicalinterventionshavebeenusedtomanageCIPN,includinganalgesics,antidepressants,anticonvulsants,andtopicalagents(Pachmanetal.,2018).However,thesetreatmentsoftenhavelimitedefficacyandareassociatedwithadverseeffects,suchassedation,nausea,andcognitiveimpairment(Rowbothametal.,2014).Therefore,thereisaneedforalternativetherapiesthatcaneffectivelyalleviatethesymptomsofCIPNwithminimalsideeffects.

AcupunctureisatraditionalChinesemedicinetechniquethatinvolvestheinsertionofthinneedlesintospecificpointsonthebodytostimulatetheflowofenergyor"Qi"(Leeetal.,2021).Acupuncturehasbeenwidelyusedforthemanagementofpainandothersymptomsassociatedwithvariousmedicalconditions,includingneuropathicpain(Dingetal.,2019).ImprovedZhiliFangacupuncturetreatmentisamodifiedformofacupuncturethatcombinestraditionalacupuncturewithelectricalstimulationandmoxibustiontherapy(Luetal.,2018).Thistherapyhasbeenshowntohaveahightherapeuticefficacyinthemanagementofvariouskindsofneuropathicpain,includingdiabeticneuropathy,trigeminalneuralgia,andpostherpeticneuralgia(Luetal.,2018).

SeveralstudieshaveinvestigatedtheuseofacupunctureforthemanagementofCIPN,andtheresultssuggestthatacupuncturecanbeaneffectivetherapyforthiscondition(Liuetal.,2017;Zhaoetal.,2017).ArandomizedcontrolledtrialconductedbyLiuetal.(2017)evaluatedtheeffectsofacupunctureonCIPNinpatientswithbreastcancer.Thestudyparticipantsreceivedeitherrealacupunctureorshamacupunctureforeightweeks.Theresultsshowedthatrealacupuncturesignificantlyimprovedthepatients'symptomsofCIPN,includingpain,numbness,andtingling,comparedtoshamacupuncture.AnotherrandomizedcontrolledtrialconductedbyZhaoetal.(2017)comparedtheeffectsofacupunctureandpregabalin,acommonlyusedanticonvulsantforneuropathicpain,onCIPNinpatientswithlungcancer.Thestudyparticipantsreceivedeitheracupuncture,pregabalin,orplacebofor12weeks.Theresultsshowedthatacupunctureandpregabalinwerebotheffectiveinreducingthepatients'symptomsofCIPN,butacupuncturehadfeweradverseeffectsthanpregabalin.
