TL;DR
In this study of patients with breast cancer receiving high-dose chemotherapy, adjunct electroacupuncture was more effective in controlling emesis than minimal needling or antiemetic pharmacotherapy alone, although the observed effect had limited duration.

The neurokinin-1-receptor antagonist L-754,030 prevents delayed emesis after treatment with cisplatin and combined with granisetron plus dexamethasone improves the prevention of acute emesis.

It was showed that nonpharmacologic techniques were equivalent to commonly used antiemetic drugs in preventing vomiting after surgery and may be an alternative to receiving no treatment or first-line antiemetics.

The development of antiemetic drugs has been one of the most rewarding areas of oncologic research, since therapeutic advances in this area can result in immediate improvement in the quality of life for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

P6 ACP was an effective antiemetic in patients having cancer chemotherapy, but because of the time involved and the brevity of the action (8 h), an alternative approach to electro-ACP is required before this technique is adopted clinically.

129 Citations1982Adrian L. Harris
Cytotoxic drugs may exert their emetic effects via inhibition of enzymes that break down neurotransmitters in the area postrema through inhibition of enkephalin production, and opiates and selective antagonists should be assessed for anti-emetic activity.

The small sample size and heterogeneity of this group of patients precludes any outcome analysis of pharmacodynamic endpoints such as toxicity or antitumor effect, but the potential for interactions between antiemetics and chemotherapy agents should be taken into account when using different high-dose chemotherapy regimens.

The demonstration of site specificity of the neuropeptides in mediating analgesia induced by electroacupuncture supports the validity of this experimental approach.

Ondansetron did not substantially improve overall emetic control when used alone but may improve control in combination with prochlorperazine, and future randomized studies are needed to delineate the effect of ondansetrons on the disposition of the active cyclophosphamide metabolites so that clinical implications can be addressed.

Acupuncture was shown to increase complete protection from nausea and to decrease the intensity and duration of nausea and vomiting, however, the difficulties of performing acupuncture routinely in daily practice are a hindrance to its wider use.

The effects of single or repeated treatments with manual acupuncture, electro-acupuncture or physical exercise on neuropeptide Y (NPY), neurokinin A (NKA), substance P (SP), galanin (GAL) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-like immunoreactivity (-LI) in different regions of the rat brain were studied.

An involvement of mu2-opioid receptors within the brain to mediate the anti-emetic effect of fentanyl is indicated and the identification of potential sites of drug action available to inhibit the emetic reflex is identified.

The data suggest that different degrees of analgesia induced by electroacupuncture result from the variable release of SP, ME, and LE in spinal regions associated with nociception in terms of current models of pain processing.

An association is shown between patient self-report of anxiety on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) assessed at the first chemotherapy treatment, and subsequent development of anticipatory side effects within the first five treatments.

The greater attention devoted today to delayed emesis raises some methodological questions: this paper suggests some possible solutions for a better evaluation of this phenomenon.

Observations support a role for endogenous opiates in regulating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and suggest that narcotic agents may be effective antiemetics in this setting.

An integrated neurophysiological model of EA analgesia will be proposed, from which the central roles in pain modulation played by the endorphins and various monoamines will become apparent.

The evaluation of efficacy of an anti-emetic should include its efficacy in controlling acute post-chemotherapy nausea and vomiting as well as anticipatory and delayed emesis.
