Abstract
Objective: To observe the regulation of acupuncture and moxibustion for gastric motility of patients who experienced vomiting following chemotherapy. Methods: Apply warm needling, needling alone and suspended moxibustion to Zusanli (ST 36) and observe the changes in gastric electric frequency spectrum, waveform, frequency and wave amplitude. Results: Acupuncture obtained better immediate effects than warm needling and moxibustion. However, warm needling obtained better lasting effects than needling and moxibustion. Conclusion: Different acupuncture and moxibustion methods can produce different immediate and lasting effects. It is advisable to employ individualized methods in clinical practice. Regarding regulation for post-chemotherapy gastric motility, acupuncture and moxibustion in early stage chemotherapy can produce better results than in late stage.
