摘要

Tumor pain is common in patients with advanced cancer;70-80% have varying degrees of pain. Treatment of cancer pain has become a difficult issue in oncology, poor pain control often seriously affects the patients' life quality. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing intervention can improve symptoms and quality of life (QOL) through massage, external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and auricular therapy, which have unique curative effects such as regulating qi and blood, stabilizing the mind, and enhancing immunity. Not only does TCM nursing intervention prevent disease but also cultivates the mind, helps achieve systemic relaxation, and reduces the pain of cancer patients and the toxic side effects of painkillers, so as to improve QOL and satisfaction, making it worthy of clinical popularization and application. At present, there is an urgent need to carry out high-quality, multi-center, large-sample randomized controlled trials and develop a standardized TCM nursing intervention implementation scheme and efficacy standards to promote its application.
