Abstract:Cancer pain is a common symptom of tumor patients, which is caused by the pressure or invasion of tumor on surrounding tissues, surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatment means or combined with another disease, which seriously affects the quality of life of tumor patients and interferes with the process and effectiveness of anti-tumor treatment. Western medicine treatment for cancer pain is not ideal for pain control due to its side effects, addiction, and drug resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, acupuncture point injection, and other Chinese medicine means are widely used in clinical practice because of their high safety, low side effects and convenient application. This paper reviews the research progress of Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer pain in recent years.
