The traditional Chinese medicine herbal mixture appears to be a safe alternative treatment to reduce fatigue in cancer patients, study reports
TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine Ren Shen Yangrong Tang (RSYRT) significantly reduced fatigue in cancer patients after 2-3 weeks of treatment without discomfort. 
 
No toxicity was observed among the 33 patients who took part in the Phase I/II trial on the safety and efficacy of RSYRT, according to an article in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
 
Fatigue is one of the major challenges in oncology care. According to traditional Chinese medicine, fatigue is characterized by a deficiency in Qi, a physical life force related to the energy flow of the body. RSYRT, a soup containing 12 herbs, is intended to improve Qi deficiency.
 
Yichen Xu, MD, Yanzhi Chen, MD, and Pingping Li, MD, Peking University School of Oncology (Beijing) and Xin Shelley Wang, MD, MPH, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston) assessed the level of fatigue in cancer patients before and after RSYRT therapy. Cancer patients suffering from moderate to severe fatigue took RSYRT twice a day for 6 weeks, and reported significantly less fatigue after 2-3 weeks treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine herbal mixture.
 
“RSYRT therapy was safe and was associated with fatigue improvement in nonanemic cancer survivors, consistent with historical TCM clinical practice experience. Because of a possible placebo effect in this open-label study, decoction RSYRT warrants further study in randomized clinical trials to confirm its effectiveness for managing moderate to severe fatigue,” the researchers concluded.
 
The article "Ren Shen Yangrong Tang for Fatigue in Cancer Survivors: A Phase I/II Open-Label Study" is available free on The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, a peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., until June 20, 2015.
