Clinical Trial Summary

Chemotherapy is a cancer therapy performed on advanced cancer with quite good success, but this therapy has quite a lot of side effects. Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting or commonly known as CINV, is a condition of nausea and vomiting experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, with a prevalence of around 80% of all patients undergoing chemotherapy, and 40% has the potential to become severe. This study aims to determine the efficacy of a new acupuncture modality, namely the press needle, in preventing CINV symptoms in pediatric patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.


Clinical Trial Description

The study was conducted using a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) design in 64 pediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who were randomized into 2 groups, namely: (1) standard medical therapy as the control group; and (2) a combination of standard therapy with press needle acupuncture as the treatment group. The ear acupuncture points used are Shenmen and Stomach, and one body acupuncture point is PC6. Outcome measurements were carried out in the form of the RINVR questionnaire to assess the intensity of nausea and vomiting measured at 4 times: (1) 12 hours before chemotherapy; (2) 12 hours after chemotherapy; (3) 3 days after chemotherapy; (4) 7 days after chemotherapy. ;
