Moxibustion therapy is an important traditional non-pharmacological treatment in traditional medicine for improving chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression. By reviewing recent studies on moxibustion intervention for chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression, this article summarized and analyzed the current research status. In clinical studies, moxibustion therapy that tonifies the spleen, nourishes the kidneys, warms yang, and nourishes blood has been verified to be effective for chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression, but the efficacy may vary among individuals receiving different chemotherapy regimens. Experimental studies have shown that moxibustion therapy primarily improves chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression by repairing bone marrow tissue structure, increasing the amounts of hematopoietic stem cells, improving bone marrow hematopoietic microenvironment, repairing bone marrow cell DNA, and regulating signaling pathways such as Notch, Wnt, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/ mammalian target protein of rapamycin and other signaling pathways. Future research can further systematically reveal the mechanisms of moxibustion therapy, such as alleviating hematopoietic stem cell aging induced by chemotherapy, regulating miRNAs to improve bone marrow suppression, and investigate the sensitivity of patients with bone marrow suppression caused by different chemotherapy regimens to moxibustion therapy, in order to complete and standardize the application protocols of moxibustion.
灸法是改善化疗引起的骨髓抑制的重要传统医学非药物疗法。本文通过梳理近年来灸法干预化疗所致骨髓抑制的相关研究，对目前研究现状进行总结和分析。临床研究方面，灸法健脾益肾、温阳养血，多种灸法对化疗引起的骨髓抑制均有疗效，但对接受不同化疗方案的患者疗效有所差异。机制研究方面，灸法主要通过修复骨髓组织结构，增加骨髓造血干细胞数量，改善骨髓造血微环境，修复骨髓细胞DNA，调节Notch、Wnt、磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶/蛋白激酶B/哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白信号通路等机制改善化疗所致骨髓抑制。未来的研究可进一步系统揭示灸法作用机制，如减轻化疗引起的造血干细胞衰老、调控miRNA改善骨髓抑制等，并深入研究不同化疗方案所致的骨髓抑制患者对灸法的敏感性，完善应用方案。.
