Objective: To analyze the efficacy of acupuncture combined with medication in treating gastrointestinal reactions in patients with gastrointestinal tumors undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A total of 86 patients with gastrointestinal tumors undergoing chemotherapy admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Patients in the control group received single-drug therapy, while those in the observation group received acupuncture combined with medication. The application conditions were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in various indicators between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, all indicators in the observation group were better than those in the control group. The effective treatment rate in the observation group (72.09%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (93.02%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: For patients with gastrointestinal tumors undergoing chemotherapy, acupuncture combined with medication can be employed to alleviate gastrointestinal reactions, which is bene¿ cial for improving the treatment efficacy and ensuring the safety of patients undergoing treatment.
