临床研究证明的,艾灸对癌症化疗病人是有辅助功效的,能帮助减轻痛苦,前提你要买到对的真艾条啊。市场上很多艾条鱼龙混杂,不懂得很难辨别真伪,特别是无烟艾条更要小心。 Breast Cancer Lucille R. Marchand MD, BSN, James A. Stewart MD, FACP, in Integrative Medicine (Fourth Edition), 2018 Nausea and Vomiting Moxibustion, which stimulates acupuncture points with heat generated from burning herbal preparations, was evaluated in several clinical trials; some evidence showed that this therapy could significantly reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy.134 The National Institutes of Health endorsed acupuncture for chemotherapy-associated nausea.135 The Society of Integrative Oncology, on review of the evidence, also strongly endorsed acupuncture for this indication.34 Acupressure of acupuncture point 6 at the wrist, sometimes stimulated with specialized wristbands, can help alleviate chemotherapy-related nausea34,136,137 (see Chapter 111).
那篇文里这一段也值得注意:
Conclusion
The evidence is limited to suggest moxibustion is an effective supportive cancer care in nausea and vomiting. However, all studies have a high risk of bias so effectively there is not enough evidence to draw any conclusion. Further research is required to investigate whether there are specific benefits of moxibustion for supportive cancer care.
