The present study examines the efficacy of acupressure wristbands, compared with standard care alone and acustimulation wristbands, in preventing severe nausea among 86 breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin-based chemotherapy who were at high risk of experiencing severe nausea following treatment. Significant differences in the proportion of patients who reported severe nausea were observed across three conditions (standard care, standard care with acupressure bands, and standard care with an acustimulation band). The proportion of patients in the acupressure band group who reported severe nausea following their chemotherapy treatment (41%) was significantly less than that of the standard care group (68%) and the acustimulation band group (73%). Overall, these findings showed that acupressure wristbands were efficacious and may be an appropriate form of adjuvant therapy for nausea management for breast cancer patients, especially those who are most at risk for experiencing severe nausea following chemotherapy treatment.
本研究考察了穴位按压腕带与单纯标准护理及声刺激腕带相比，在预防86名接受以阿霉素为基础化疗的乳腺癌患者严重恶心方面的效果，这些患者在治疗后有发生严重恶心的高风险。在三种情况（标准护理、佩戴穴位按压腕带的标准护理、佩戴声刺激腕带的标准护理）下，报告严重恶心的患者比例存在显著差异。穴位按压腕带组化疗后报告严重恶心的患者比例（41%）显著低于标准护理组（68%）和声刺激腕带组（73%）。总体而言，这些发现表明穴位按压腕带是有效的，可能是乳腺癌患者恶心管理辅助治疗的一种合适形式，尤其是那些化疗后最易发生严重恶心的患者。
