About this study

We conducted an observational study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of Integrated Chinese Medicine With Western Medicine for bone marrow suppression induced by chemotherapy in patients with cancer. The TCM constitution and pulse diagnosis was also observed in the study.

Read the detailed description

Patients with cancer under chemotherapy and integrated Western and Chinese medicine were enrolled in this observational study. The assessment of radial pressure pulse (RPP) was performed before and after chemotherapy. The correlation between the spectral energy (SE0-10 Hz, SE10-50 Hz, and SE13-50 Hz) of the RPP at six diagnosis positions and the blood cell counts before and after chemotherapy were analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myelosuppression, run by Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Chemotherapy-induced Hematologic Toxicity (time frame: one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2022.
