| Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that bottle gourd moxibustion combined with umbilical therapy (BGM-UT) significantly enhances standard palliative care for cancer-related incomplete bowel obstruction. In a retrospective analysis of 109 patients, BGM-UT reduced opioid consumption, accelerated gastrointestinal recovery (e.g., faster bowel sound restoration), and improved pain control. Crucially, it also lowered key inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein), suggesting systemic anti-inflammatory effects. These findings highlight BGM-UT as a promising complementary therapy to alleviate symptoms and modulate inflammation in this challenging condition. |
