Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effects of Jianpi Fuzheng Decoction in patients with gastric cancer and cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Methods: Using the random number table method as a reference, 68 cases of gastric CRF were randomly divided into two groups. One group served as the control group and received basic treatment, while the other was the observation group. The observation group, in addition to the control group’s treatment, received Jianpi Fuzheng Decoction. The clinical treatment effectiveness, fatigue scores, immune function indicators, and treatment safety were compared between the two groups. Results: The total clinical treatment effectiveness of the observation group and the improvement in immune function indicators after treatment were higher than those of the control group. The fatigue score after treatment was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No serious adverse reactions occurred during the treatment in either group. Conclusion: Jianpi Fuzheng Decoction can enhance the clinical treatment effectiveness for gastric cancer patients with CRF. It facilitates the acceleration of fatigue symptom improvement and immune function enhancement. The medication’s safety is guaranteed, making it worthy of promotion.
