Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Zusanli moxibustion intervention in abdominal distention with enteral nutrition after stomach cancer surgery.Methods One hundred patients who had undergone stomach cancer surgery and received postoperative enteral nutrition were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 50 cases each. The control group received medication and the treatment group, Zusanli moxibustion in addition. Post-treatment incidences and grading scores of abdominal distention were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence of abdominal distention was 6.0% in the treatment group and 24.0% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The grading score of abdominal distention was (0.33±0.58) in the treatment group and (0.92±1.00) in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Zusanli moxibustion can effectively prevent the occurrence of abdominal distention in patients with enteral nutrition after stomach cancer surgery.
