Moxibustion for the Prevention of Hemorrhagic Cystitis After Allo-HSCT

January 11, 2024 updated by: Yi Zhang, Wuhan Union Hospital, China

Clinical Study of Moxibustion for the Prevention of Hemorrhagic Cystitis After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical study planned to recruit 254 hematological patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), who were randomly divided into two groups according to gender, type of transplantation, and type of primary disease. The control group was treated conventionally, and the experimental group increased moxibustion of Zhongji, Guanyuan and Qihai for 30 min qd starting on the first day after HSCT was performed until the 14th day after transplantation. Urine routine was collected daily before cyclophosphamide administration until +14d, and blood/urine BK virus, JC virus, and adenovirus were tested at four time points: +1d, +14 days, appearance of hematuria symptom, and remission of HC, and urine routine was tested once every 7 days for all patients within three months, and severity grading should be performed for patients with Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC), pain scores, and the main TCM evidence profile, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of moxibustion in preventing HC in this group of patients.
