Abstract

Here we described 8 patients treated with acupuncture and moxiburstion due to chronic postoperative pain as a comlication of gastrointestinal surgery. The patients were suffering from pain that continued for more than 6 months after laparotomy for gastric cancer (n=1), rectal cancer (n=2), cholangiocarcinoma (n=2), hepatocellular carcinoma (n=2) and ischemic colitis (n=1), respectively. Mean time elased from surgery were 31.25(${\pm}21.72$)months, pain grade on first visit by VAS(visual analogue scale, 0~10mm) was 3.75(${\pm}0.97$)point, and acupuncture and moxiburstion were performed 12.63(${\pm}5.74$)times during 5.5(${\pm}2.4$)weeks, on average. At the end of treatment, pain was decreased 2.75(${\pm}0.97$)point compared to first visit. Based on the that results, it is reasonable to assume that acupuncture and moxiburstion can be effective to persistent post-surgical pain after laparotomic gastrointestinal surgery, at least to some laparotomized patients.
