Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical effect of salt-separated moxibustion combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine acupoint application therapy in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.Methods Eighty breast cancer patients were divided into the observation group and the control group by random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group adopted the conventional antiemetic drug prevention plan,while the observation group was additionally treated with the salt-separated moxibustion combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine acupoint application therapy.The incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting were compared between the two groups of patients,and the chemotherapy compliance was evaluated.Results The incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting in the observation group on the first day of chemotherapy and from the second to the fifth days of chemotherapy were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the chemotherapy compliance was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Salt-separated moxibustion combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine acupoint application therapy can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy,and improve their chemotherapy compliance at the same time.The method is simple,safe and reliable,with good potential for clinical application.
