Abstract
    [Objective] To explore the effect of applying sanjiao moxibustion technology in the treatment of opioid related constipation. [Methods] Sixty patients with opioid related constipation in the oncology department of a tertiary Chinese medicine hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into a control group of 30 cases and an observation group of 30 cases. The control group received routine care from the oncology department,while the observation group received sanjiao moxibustion technology to improve their constipation symptoms on the basis of the control group. [Results] There was no significant difference in gender,age and medical diagnosis between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05),indicating that the two groups were comparable. After 2 weeks of treatment,the scores of constipation severity except the course of the disease were statistically significant (P<0.05). The improvement of the quality of life and the total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was more obvious than that in the control group(P<0.05). [Conclusion] Sanjiao moxibustion technology can effectively improve the symptoms of opioid related constipation in cancer pain patients,improve their quality of life,and is worthy of further promotion.
