Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of Four-dimensional stereoscopic analgesic acupuncture adjuvant therapy on pain degree and quality of life of cancer pain patients. Method A total of 70 cancer pain patients were admitted to Weichang Manchu and Mongolian Autonomous County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hebei Province from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected, and patients were randomly selected by computer and divided into control group and study group, 35 cases in each group. The control group received three-level ladder pain relief treatment, while the study group received Four-dimensional stereoscopic analgesic acupuncture on the basis of the control group. The total effective rate, pain mediators [serum serotonin (5-HT), endothelin-1 (ET-1), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)] levels, numerical rating scale (NRS) score, World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) score and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Result The total effective rate of the study group was 94.29% (33/35), which was higher than that of the control group [74.29% (26/35)], the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The NRS score of both groups decreased after two courses of treatment, and the decrease of the study group was greater than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The WHOQOL-BREF score of both groups increased after two courses of treatment, and the increase of the study group was greater than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Serum levels of PGE2, 5-HT and ET-1 were decreased in both groups after two courses of treatment, and the decrease in the study group was greater than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in control group and study group was 17.14% and 11.43%, respectively, and there was no statistical significance between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The adjuvant treatment of Four-dimensional stereoscopic analgesic acupuncture can effectively relieve cancer pain, decrease the levels of pain mediators, and improving the quality of life for patients.
