Abstract:
Objective Through analyzing the literatures about acupuncture-moxibustion in releasing chemotherapyinduced nausea and vomit,to understand its current situation and progress,preparing for further studies in the future.Method Four databanks were retrieved.Two researchers independently skimmed the titles and abstracts for filtering the collected data,and then carefully read through the full texts for further selection.Snowball retrieval of the references in each recruited article completed the whole literature search.Result A total of 407 manuscripts were collected by retrieving databanks,but 80 were excluded due to ineligible designs or intervention protocols.Finally,76 articles were included.Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion is effective in preventing and treating nausea and vomit induced by chemotherapy.Future studies should rigorously follow the randomized controlled trials design and adopt precise efficacy evaluations,to provide foundation for subsequent evidence-based studies.
