Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of Qigui Buxue Decoction combined with timed press-needle therapy on myelosuppression and cancer-related fatigue in chemotherapy patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)of lung-spleen qi deficiency type.Methods A total of 124 NSCLC patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type admitted to the Department of Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy at Cangzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital in Hebei Province from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table,with 62 cases in each group.Both groups received platinum-based two-drug combination chemotherapy.The control group received timed press-needle therapy in addition to chemotherapy,while the observation group received Qigui Buxue Decoction in addition to the control group's treatment.The treatment course was 3 weeks,with a total of 2 courses.After 2 courses of treatment,changes in blood routine,lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,NK cells),CD4+/CD8+ratio,and the incidence of myelosuppression were observed.Changes in Piper Fatigue Scale and Karnofsky Performance Scale(KPS)scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After treatment,the white blood cell count in the observation group significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in white blood cell count compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+,and NK cells in both groups significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in these levels compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(3)The incidence of myelosuppression in the observation group was 58.06%(36/62),while it was 77.42%(48/62)in the control group.The incidence of myelosuppression in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the Piper Fatigue Scale scores,including behavioral,emotional,physical,and total scores,significantly improved in both groups(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in these scores compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The cognitive scores of the Piper Fatigue Scale showed slight improvement in both groups,but there was no statistically significant difference compared to before treatment(P＞0.05).(5)After treatment,the KPS scores and TCM syndrome scores significantly improved in both groups(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in these scores compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Qigui Buxue Decoction combined with timed press-needle therapy can effectively improve myelosuppression,enhance immune function,and alleviate cancer-related fatigue in NSCLC patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type after chemotherapy,thereby improving their quality of life.This approach is worthy of clinical promotion.
