Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of stellate ganglion block on the pain and quality of life in patients with lung cancer.Methods 90 patients with lung cancer were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method.The control group was treated with morphine 10mg,orally,1 time/ 12h.The observation group was treated with stellate ganglion block and morphine.For the patients with poor analgesic effect,50％ doses were added gradually.The analgesic effect,quality of life and changes of immune function were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly decreased.And the VAS score reduction in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group [(2.5 ± 0.7) points vs.(3.7 ± 0.9) points],the difference was statistically significant (t =7.060,P ＜ 0.05).The analgesic efficacy of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(91.1％ vs.75.6％,x2 =3.920,P ＜ 0.05),the duration of analgesia of the observation group was longer than that of the control group (t =20.681,P ＜ 0.05).For the total morphine dosage method,the observation group was significantly lower than the control group[(143.5 ± 21.3) mg vs.(238.7 ± 38.3) mg] (t =14.572,P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the scores of quality of life of the two groups were significantly improved,and the improvement degree of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group [(86.5 ± 14.3) vs.(79.6 ± 15.7),t =2.179,P ＜ 0.05].After treatment,the TGF-beta level of the observation group was significantly reduced,which was significantly lower than that of the control group[(215.4 ± 38.7)pg/mL vs.(240.5 ± 41.2)pg/mL],the difference was statistically signifi cant (t =2.979,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Stellate ganglion block has good therapeutic effect in the treatment of lung cancer patients with pain.
