Complementary and alternative medicine encompasses various nonpharmacologic interventions for managing pain, such as acupuncture and music therapy. Few studies have combined these two interventions in the management of cancer-related pain.
The purpose of this evidence-based project was to compare acupuncture-only therapy versus dual therapy (acupuncture and music therapy) on pain intensity scores in patients with cancer.
This evidence-based project included 102 participants at a private acupuncture practice. One group had acupuncture only for six weeks, and another had six weeks of acupuncture and music therapy. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale was used to assess pain before and after the interventions.
Findings showed that both groups had clinically and statistically significant improvements in pain intensity scores. Although a significant difference was not noted between the two groups, acupuncture and music therapy were each found to be effective for managing cancer-related pain.
补充和替代医学涵盖了各种非药物干预措施，用于缓解疼痛，如针灸和音乐疗法。很少有研究将这两种干预措施结合起来用于管理癌症相关疼痛。
本循证项目的目的是比较单纯针灸治疗与双重治疗（针灸和音乐疗法）对癌症患者疼痛强度评分的影响。
本循证项目包括一家私人针灸诊所的 102 名参与者。一组仅接受六周的针灸治疗，另一组接受六周的针灸和音乐疗法。使用数字疼痛评分量表在干预前后评估疼痛。
结果表明，两组患者的疼痛强度评分均有显著的临床和统计学改善。尽管两组之间没有显著差异，但针灸和音乐疗法均被发现对管理癌症相关疼痛有效。
