Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Miao medicinal crossbow acupuncture therapy as adjuvant treatment for lung cancer pain based on oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release tablet. Methods A total of 60 patients with lung cancer pain were randomized into an observation group（30 cases

1 case dropped off） and a control group（30 cases）. In the control group

oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release tablet was given orally

10 mg a time

once every 12 hours. On the basis of the treatment in the control group

Miao medicinal crossbow acupuncture therapy was applied once every other day in the observation group. The treatment of 14 days was required in the two groups. Before and after treatment

the numerical rating scale（NRS） score

number of break-out pain and Karnofsky performance status（KPS） score were observed in the two groups. The equivalent oxycodone consumption and rate of adverse reactions were recorded

the analgesic effect was evaluated in the two groups. Results Compared before treatment

the NRS scores and number of break-out pain were decreased while the KPS scores were increased after treatment in the two groups（P<0.01）. After treatment

the NRS score and number of break-out pain in the observation group were lower than the control group（P<0.01）

the KPS score in the observation group was higher than the control group（P<0.05）. The equivalent oxycodone consumption of whole course and the rate of adverse reactions i.e. constipation

drowsiness

nausea and vomiting in the observation group were lower than the control group（P<0.05）. The analgesic effect rate was 93.1%（27/29） in the observation group

which was superior to 63.3%（19/30） in the control group（P<0.05）. Conclusion On the basis of oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release tablet

Miao medicinal crossbow acupuncture therapy as adjuvant treatment can effectively relieve the pain degree
