Abstract:
Objective To explore the effectiveness of Guasha therapy with Fufu Tongbian in treating cancer-related insomnia(CRI)and seek a new approach to managing CRI.Methods Sixty patients with CRI who were admitted to the oncology department of our hospital from July 2021 to July 2022 were engaged in the study.The patients were randomly divided equally into two groups by using the PROCPLAN process in SAS software.The patients in the control group were given conventional symptomatic treatment and the patients in the trial group were managed with Guasha therapy with Fufu Tongbian in addition to the conventional symptomatic treatment.The two groups were compared in terms of clinical efficacy as well as scores by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),and Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)were compared after 2 courses of treatment.Results All patients had completed the study.The trial group exhibited significantly higher total effective rate and presented significantly lower scores on PSQI,HAMD and HAMA compared to the control group(all P＜0.001).Conclusion Guasha therapy with Fufu Tongbian can improve sleep condition of CRI patients and alleviate their depression and anxiety,thus improving sleep quality of CRI patients.
