Clinical Efficacy and Potential Mechanisms of Acupoint Stimulation Combined With Chemotherapy in Combating Cancer: A Review and Prospects
2022 Apr 25 Frontiers in Oncology Li S, Zhao S, Guo Y, Yang Y, Huang J, Wang J, et al.
In conclusion, the evidence suggests that acupoint stimulation can alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and can also assist chemotherapeutic agents in inhibiting tumor growth, which expands the clinical application of acupoint stimulation in cancer treatment.

Acupuncture significantly inhibited the decline in blood cell components (white blood cell count, platelet count, red blood cell count, and hemoglobin) except for neutrophils in patients with myelosuppression after chemotherapy. Acupoints, mainly from the bladder meridian, stomach meridian, and spleen meridian, were distributed in the limbs and back. Specific points such as ST36 and SP6 were frequently used, with ST36-SP6-RN6-SP10-RN4 identified as a central combination in acupuncture prescriptions for this population.

The included studies showed unsatisfied quality. Results based on available literature indicated that the adjunctive use of CHM with chemotherapy may reduce the chemotherapeutic agents-associated adverse events, including nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, alopecia, myelosuppression, and impaired immune function. A confident conclusion could not be have due to the lack of large scale and high quality trials.

Systematic Review Cancer Treatment Support Dexamethasone ST36
The study executed a systematic evaluation of the efficacy of ST36 acupoint injection with dexamethasone in treating chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. A total of 17 randomized controlled trials from eight different databases were extracted for this meta-analysis. A detailed examination and analysis of various data gathered were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool for bias, Excel 2010 for creating an information extraction database, and RevMan 5.3.0 software for analyzing test data. The quality of evidence was graded using GRADE profiler 3.6 software.
The results indicated that compared to conventional western medicine, ST36 acupoint injection with dexamethasone vastly improved the clinical aggregate effective rate. Notably, it increased the white blood cell count and hemoglobin levels in patients, further enhancing their Karnofsky performance status. The treatment also shortened the recovery time of myelosuppression. However, there were no significant differences observed in platelet elevation between the ST36 acupoint injection with dexamethasone and conventional western medicine.

A Systematic Review published in 2021 in the journal Frontiers in Oncology found that ST36 acupoint injections with dexamethasone outperforms conventional western medicine in treating chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, significantly improving clinical efficacy and recovery.

A total of 17 randomized controlled trials from eight different databases were extracted for this meta-analysis.
