“…According to the degree of severity, it is recorded as 0–3 points, and the sum of the scores of each content is the TCM syndrome points. According to the visual analogue scale (VAS) [ 10 ], the pain is evaluated, and the total score is 10 points. The higher the score, the more severe the pain.…”

Objective. To observe the clinical effects of Jiawei Danggui Beimu Kushen pills in treating prostate cancer and their influence on the expression of serum prostate specific antigen. Methods. A total of 234 prostate cancer patients were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 117 cases in each group. The control group was given oral bicalutamide tablets, while the observation group was treated with Jiawei Danggui Beimu Kushen pills on the basis of the control group. The treatment efficacy, IPSS score, TCM syndrome score, VAS score, quality-of-life score, and immune function of the two groups were compared before and after treatment. The serum PSA and f-PSA levels of patients before treatment and after 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days of treatment in the two groups were compared. The five-year cumulative survival rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results. After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 88.03% (103/117), which was higher than that of the control group 69.23% (81/117); the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the IPSS score, TCM syndrome score, and VAS score of the two groups were reduced, and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the quality-of-life scores of the two groups increased, and the observation group was higher than the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in serum PSA levels and f-PSA levels when comparing between the two groups of patients ( P > 0.05 ). With the increase of treatment time, the two index levels of the two groups were gradually decreased. After 180 days of treatment, the two index levels of the two groups of patients were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the two index levels of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the levels of IgM and IgA in the two groups were decreased, and the level of IgG was increased. The difference between the two groups in the levels of each index before and after treatment was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ), and the difference between the two groups in the levels of each index after treatment was also statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The five-year cumulative survival rate of the observation group was 69.23%, and the five-year cumulative survival rate of the control group was 46.15% ( P < 0.05 ). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of dizziness, fatigue, and gastrointestinal reactions ( P > 0.05 ), but the difference in the incidence of dysuria as well as dysuria and hematuria was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Jiawei Danggui Beimu Kushen pills are effective in treating prostate cancer, which can effectively reduce the patients’ IPSS score and TCM syndrome scores, relieve the pain, and improve the quality of life of patients. They also have a potential role in regulating serum PSA levels, clearing tumor lesions, reducing postoperative complications, and improving related symptoms.

“…The VAS (7,8) and facial pain expression scale were used to evaluate pain. VAS scores range from 0 to 10, being 0 no pain, 1–3 mild pain (pain does not affect sleep), 4–6 moderate pain, 7–9 severe pain (inability to sleep or waking up during sleep due to pain), 10 most severe pain.…”

The aim of this study was to explore the analgesic effect of local application of compound lidocaine/prilocaine cream on cancer wounds during wound care in order to reduce the amount of morphine intake or completely replace the systemic morphine administration and optimize the protocol for cancer wound pain management. All patients were enrolled with a visual analog scale (VAS) pain score ≥4. Before wound care, 60 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 each: morphine group (10 mg tablet); topical 5% compound lidocaine cream group (0.2 g/cm2). VAS scores, heart rate, and Kolcaba comfort level were recorded for the two groups 10 min before and 10, 15, 20, and 25 min after wound care and data were analyzed statistically. The means for the pain score and heart rate of the topical lidocaine/prilocaine cream group were lower than those of the morphine group (P<0.01) and the Kolcaba comfort level was higher (P<0.01). Local dermal application of the compound lidocaine cream can be used as an alternative to the systemic morphine administration in cancer wound care for its safety and effectiveness. In addition, it can improve the patients' comfort and quality of life.
