electric acupuncture apparatus stimulating PC 6 and PC 5 combined with Granisetron for tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: 72 tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control group and experimental group.34 cases were in the control group,and 38 cases the experimental group. We used wrist electric acupuncture apparatus to stimulate PC 6 and PC 5 (1 h,bid)combined with Granisetron(3 mg iv bid) for the experimental group while stimulating false PC 6 and false PC 5 for the control goup. To observe the vomiting times,nausea grade and overall efficacy in acute stage and delay stage. Results: ①there was no difference in vomiting times between the two groups in acute stage; patients in the control group nausead oxyclozanide more strongly,reaching a higher rank than the experimental group(p < 0.05)in delay stage; ②about overall efficacy, there was no difference between the two groups in acute stage, the experimental group obvious better than the control group in delay stage(p < 0.01); Conclusion: wrist electric acupuncture apparatus stimulating Neiguan point and Jianshi point combined with Granisetron could obviously reduce the nausea of tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy.
