Abstract  【Objective】 To explore the effect of acupoint catgut embedding on chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting in lung cancer patients. 【Methods】 A total of 120 lung cancer chemotherapy patients admitted to the Cancer Chemotherapy Department and Respiratory Oncology Department of Xiangya Hospital in Hunan Province from January to December,2021 were selected. Convenient sampling method was used to select patients from the Cancer Chemotherapy Department (control group,60 cases) and Respiratory Oncology Department (observation group,60 cases). The control group patients were treated with a conventional antiemetic regimen,while the observation group patients were treated with a conventional antiemetic plus acupoint catgut embedding antiemetic regimen. One day before chemotherapy,acute phase,delayed phase,and duration,respectively,the Chinese version (MASCC) antiemetic evaluation tool was used to evaluate the nausea score and vomiting frequency of two groups of patients. The vomiting life function index(EILE) scale was used to evaluate the quality of life of two groups of patients,while observing the occurrence of adverse reactions after acupoint catgut implantation. 【Results】 The observation group showed lower scores of nausea severity and frequency of vomiting in the acute,delayed,and persistent stages compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The observation group had significantly higher scores on FILE scale in the acute,delayed,and persistent stages compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). This study did not find any patient experiencing needle sickness,and 60 acupoint thread embedding patients did not experience discomfort such as subcutaneous bleeding,induration,pain,or infection at the embedding site. 【Conclusion】 Acupoint catgut embedding can effectively alleviate chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting symptoms in lung cancer patients,improve their quality of life,be safe and feasible,and be worthy of clinical promotion.
