“…They added that, the development of acupressure as a nursing intervention, dependent on a theoretical concept, evidence based studies, and practical nursing experience represents a very important step for the future of the nursing care of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. [40,41] In contrast with results of the current study, Wulffa et al (2009) stated that, no significant benefit was experienced with children who were subjected to acupressure in the control of CINV. [42] Also contradictory to the present study findings a single blinded randomized trial was conducted by Genc et al (2013) on the efficiency of acupressure in the prevention of CINV among 120 patients with breast, gynecological, and lung cancers.…”

“…[39] Shen and Yang (2017) concluded that, acupressure significantly increased the mean meridian energy and effectively decreased the severity of nausea and vomiting in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and recommend that, clinical nurses should provide acupressure as an intervention to relieve nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy. [40] Byju et al (2018) evaluated the effectiveness of acupressure on the experience of nausea and vomiting among patients receiving chemotherapy and concluded that, acupressure is an effective method for reducing nausea and vomiting among patients receiving chemotherapy. [41] Many studies tried to explain how acupressure on certain points improve CINV and reported that acupressure application on the affected meridians on the body surface could increase the flow of energy, boost meridian energy, improve blood circulation and promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and hence effectively reduce CINV.…”

Background/Objective: Nausea and vomiting (N&V) remain the main side effects associated with cancer chemotherapy. This study determines the effect of acupressure on the control of N&V among children with leukemia receiving chemotherapy.Methods: This quasi-experiment study was conducted at two Pediatric Oncology Departments in South Egypt. Two groups of children with leukemia aging 6-18 years were included from October 2017 till March 2018. The study group (n = 60) received acupressure, while the control group (n = 60) didn’t. All were subjected to socio-demographic and clinical interview questionnaire and Rhodes Index for N&V Likert scale for assessment of frequency, duration, stress and severity of nausea and vomiting.Results: Both groups had similar demographic data, were similar in diagnosis, disease severity, family history of neoplasia, and experienced similar chemotherapy-related side effects. Significant reduction of frequency, distress and severity of nausea and frequency, duration and severity of vomiting in addition to mean scores N\&V scale among children of the study group after application of acupressure when compared to children in the control group.Conclusions: The application of acupressure at P6 in children with acute leukemia who were receiving chemotherapy led to significant reduction in the mean scores of N&V in addition to their frequency, duration and severity within 48 hours from the beginning of chemotherapy in comparison to the control group. Therefore, acupressure techniques showed be used to reduce chemotherapy induced N&V in children with leukemia.

Objetivo: verificar o efeito da acupuntura no controle de náuseas e vômitos em pacientes submetidos à quimioterapia. Método: trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, descritivo, tipo revisão integrativa, realizada em periódicos on-line pesquisados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e na MEDLINE via PubMed, publicados entre 2008 a 2018. Selecionaram-se 15 artigos em inglês, espanhol ou português, utilizando os descritores “Acupuntura”, “Náusea” e “Neoplasia”, que tiveram aderência à temática. Resultados: percebeu-se que o efeito da acupuntura no controle de náuseas e vômitos induzidos pela quimioterapia foi satisfatório em 13 dos 15 estudos que compuseram esta revisão, mostrando uma diminuição desses sintomas durante e após o tratamento. Destacaram-se, entre os métodos evidenciados nos estudos, a acupuntura clássica e a eletroacupuntura. Conclusão: avalia-se que a acupuntura é uma prática integrativa e complementar aos tratamentos convencionais na oncologia, pois melhora a qualidade de vida dos pacientes em tratamento quimioterápico.

“…One of the acupressure points to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is the Nei Guan point. A study conducted by Shen & Yang (2016) state that Nei Guan acupressure therapy can significantly increase energy on the meridian line by reducing severe vomiting nausea in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. This acupressure point is easier to use in pediatric patients than other positions because the location of the pressure point is accessible, easy to learn, non-invasive and recommended for the recovery of the digestive tract (Miao et al, 2017).…”

Chemotherapy as a pediatric cancer treatment has nausea and vomiting side effects. Nausea and vomiting in school-age children with cancer can lead to nutritional, emotional, playing, and school function disorders, decreasing the quality of life in children. An adjuvant therapy that can decrease chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is acupressure which is non-invasive and safe. Nei Guan acupressure point uses pressure technique on the wrist. This study was conducted to determine effects of Nei Guan acupressure on nausea and vomiting due to highly emetogenic chemotherapy in school-age children with cancer. The study design was quasi-experimental through a pre-post test design study approach, with single-blind control. Thirty respondents obtained from the average calculation of two population hypothesis test, were divided into a control and intervention group comprising 15 people respectively. Both groups got the same antiemetic. Measurement of nausea was performed three times during the study using the Pediatric Nausea Assessment Tools (PeNAT), while vomiting intervals were documented for every vomiting and retching. Data analysis used the Mann Whitney and independent t-test. The analysis result in the control group showed that the average nausea value tended to increase and the vomiting interval was faster than in the intervention group. In conclusion, Nei Guan acupressure affects nausea and vomiting due to highly emetogenic chemotherapy in school-aged children with cancer although it is not statistically significant (p-value> 0.05). Nurses are expected to monitor ongoing nausea and vomiting, and consider acupressure as adjuvant therapy, besides providing pharmacological treatment to reduce nausea and vomiting.
