Effectiveness of Laserpuncture and Standard Antiemetic on RINVR Scores in Adolescent Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
Effectiveness of Combined Laserpuncture And Antiemetic Therapy on the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Reatching (RINVR) Scores in Adolescent Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Chemotherapy is a common treatment for treating cancer. Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is nausea and vomiting that occurs after chemotherapy. Complete protection of standard antiemetic drugs against CINV symptoms in children and adolescents receiving moderately and strongly emetogenic chemotherapy drugs was less than 50%. The side effects of chemotherapy in the form of CINV are so unpleasant that chemotherapy causes extreme anxiety and stress. The psychological characteristics of adolescents who have a greater perception of the changes that occur cause more frequent anxiety which can increase the risk of CINV. Acupuncture with laserpuncture modality is a non-pharmacological therapy that has a good effect on CINV symptoms in adolescents. This research was conducted for the first time in Brazil in 2019, while in Indonesia there has never been any research on this matter. So it is hoped that this research will be the first research in Indonesia to prove that the effect of laserpuncture plays a role in CINV symptoms in adolescents and can be an additional treatment in standard therapy for CINV problems in adolescents.
