简要总结
Group (1): Twenty cases with decreased white blood cell counts after neck lymph nodes and deficient in blood immunological functions made up this group. They underwent aerobic exercise training on a cycle ergometer. The cases received one 15-minute session, three sessions per week, for two months, with follow-up after the course of treatment.
Group (2): Twenty cases with underdeveloped blood immune systems; decreased white blood cell counts after having their neck lymph nodes removed, a low-level laser puncture was performed on the Governing Vessel 14 acupuncture point. They received a 15-minute session, three sessions per week, for two months, with follow-up after the course of treatment
详细描述
Inclusion criteria:
All cases were checked carefully by a physician before the study procedures. All cases were approximately the same age. All cases were conscious. All cases in both groups obtained the same medications and they received three sessions per week for 2 months. All patients enrolled in the study had a deficiency in blood immune functions post neck lymph node dissection and received chemotherapy.
Exclusion criteria:
Patients with associated disease (other pathological conditions), patients suffering from metastases, patients taking medications that alter leukocytes count and pregnancy or epilepsy.

干预措施: Cycle ergometer (Device)
Low-level laser treatment protocol (Group 2):
Twenty cases with underdeveloped blood immune systems; decreased white blood cell counts after having their neck lymph nodes removed, a low-level laser puncture was performed on the Governing Vessel 14 acupuncture point. They received a 15-minute session, three sessions per week, for two months, with follow-up after the course of treatment
干预措施: Low-level laser therapy (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Leukocyte total count and differential lymphocyte count measurements
时间窗: 2 months
Measurement of immune response: The cases were seated when immune response was measured. Morning peripheral blood sample aspiration was followed by venous blood collection into sterile glass containers with the necessary anticoagulants and preservatives. A Coulter hematology analyzer (Coulter Electronics, USA) was used to perform differential counts of lymphocytes and the total leukocyte count.
