Study Arms (3)
TEAS group
EXPERIMENTALPatients with transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) group receive electrical stimulation of acupoints including Dazhui (DU14), Geshu (BL17), Zusanli (ST36), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Hegu (LI4).
Medication group
ACTIVE COMPARATOROn the basis of routine nursing care, patients need to take Sanguisorba officinalis L., named Diyu Shengbai Pian (a Traditional Chinese Medicine) 3 times per day.
Control group
NO INTERVENTIONThe patients of control group receive routine nursing care, including (1) to be observed the changes in patient condition, (2) to eat high-calories, high-protein, high-vitamin, easy-to-digest foods during chemotherapy, (3) to be treated by psychological care, (4) to be prevented against the occurrence of phlebiti, and (5) to use Ondansetron and Omeprazole as direction.
Interventions
The patients will be treated by their assigned acupuncture stimulation in 7 days. The surface electrical stimulation devices and application parameter are: G6805-II pulse acupuncture treatment instrument from Shanghai Medical Technology Company, Ltd (Shanghai, China); sparse-dense wave stimulation (sparse wave 30Hz; dense wave 100Hz) with an intensity of 6-15 V; and the corresponding parts of the body experienced a slight quiver, with a duration 20 minutes each time.
Sanguisorba officinalis L., a Leukogenic medication, named Diyu Shengbai Pian (Chengdu Diao Tianfu Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., China) will be taken 0.4g each time by 3 times per day.
