Objective: to observe the biological electromagnetic pulse therapy for improving the quality of life of patients with cancer.
Method: Applied biological electromagnetic pulse therapy on 108 cases of patients with cancer, once every 2 days, 10 times per course of treatment. Conducted comparison before and after the treatment with the QOL rating sheet for patients with cancer.
Result: after a course of biological electromagnetic pulse therapy treatment, the findings on the cancer patient’s mental state, sleep, stamina and pain tolerance, etc. have been improved. The score difference before and after the treatment is statistically significant (p<0.05), with obvious statistical differences (p<0.01) in sleep patterns and pain tolerance. In summary, the total scores of quality of life for patients with cancer before and after the treatment have obvious statistical differences (p<0.01). All the patients displayed no adverse effects from treatment.
Conclusion: The biological electromagnetic pulse therapy can improve sleep, pain tolerance, mood, stamina, etc. in cancer patients, subsequently improve their quality of life. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
