Abstract:
Objective To explore the effectiveness of auricular Gua Sha based on auricular vagus nerve stimulation in patients with chronic renal failure accompanied by nausea and vomiting.Methods Using a convenience sampling method,100 patients with chronic renal failure and nausea and vomiting admitted to the Nephrology Department of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between January 2022 and December 2023 were selected.They were randomly divided into a test group and a control group,with 50 patients in each group.The test group received the conventional treatment and care for chronic renal failure with nausea and vomiting,along with auricular Gua Sha,with a 3-day intervention.The control group received only conventional treatment and care.The Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)symptom scores for nausea and vomiting,total effective rate of the efficacy index,symptom improvement time,total number of bowel movements,and adverse events were compared between the 2 groups.Results A total of 100 patients completed the study.After intervention,the scores for nausea and vomiting symptoms were lower in both groups compared to the scores before intervention,with the experimental group having lower scores than the control group(P＜0.001);the total effective rate of the experimental group was 98.00％,higher than 88.00％in the control group(P＜0.001).Following intervention,the time for improvement of nausea and vomiting symptoms in the experimental group was(7.50±1.74)minutes,shorter than(13.38±2.31)minutes in the control group(P＜0.001);the total number of bowel movements in the experimental group was(3.34±0.63)times,more than(2.46±0.58)times in the control group(P＜0.001);no adverse events occurred during the study.Conclusion Auricular Gua Sha based on auricular vagus nerve stimulation helps reduce nausea and vomiting symptom scores,improves the total effective rate of the efficacy index,shortens the symptom improvement time,increases the frequency of bowel movements,and it is safe for patients with chronic renal failure.
