Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of modified Jiangzao decoction combined with health education in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Methods Totally 60 patients with malignant cancer who underwent chemotherapy were randomly assigned into combined group(n=30)and western medicine group(n=30). The patients in western medicine group were treated with tropisetron for stopping vomiting, while those in combined group were added modified Jiangzao decoction and corresponding health educaiton based on western medicine group. The efficacy of stopping vomiting within 24 h and 72 h and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Results 〓Within 24 h and 72 h, the response rates of combined group were 83.33% and 86.67%, and those of western medicine group were 70.00% and 66.67%, respectively. The response rates of combined group were slightly higher than those of western medicine group, but no significant difference was shown(P0.05). During treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions in combined group(6.67%)was slightly lower than that in western medicine group(23.33%), but no significant difference was shown(P0.05). Conclusion 〓Modified Jiangzao decoction combined with nursing care is conductive to preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, with good safety and low price, so it deserves to be popularized in clinic.
