Acupoint Application for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Lung Cancer

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Xiu Huang

Conditions: Lung Cancer (Diagnosis)Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting

Interventions: 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (e.g., ondansetron), Acupoint application

Countries: China

This single-center, randomized, controlled study evaluates whether acupoint application added to standard 5-HT3 receptor antagonist anti-nausea medication improves control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in adults with lung cancer receiving first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either acupoint application plus a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist alone for one chemotherapy cycle. The study will compare complete control of delayed nausea and vomiting between the two groups.
