Integrated-pathy aims to integrate modern medicine with traditional systems via applying the holistic approach of Ayurveda, Yoga, and natural medicine. This is important for addressing the challenges surrounding the delivery of long-term palliative care for chronic ailments including cancer. The prime intent of this study was to substantiate the underlying hypothesis behind the differential and integrative approach having a positive impact on Quality of Life of cancer patients. Cross-sectional Observational study. A standardized questionnaire was developed and used, after obtaining written informed consent from patients to assess the impact of Integrated-pathy on patients (n = 103) diagnosed with cancer receiving care at Patanjali Yoggram. The research was carried out over 8 months. All participants received a uniform treatment protocol as prescribed by Patanjali. For the sample size determination and validation, α and 1-β was calculated and for the significance of the pre- and post-treatment QoL ratings, Shapiro wilk test and other descriptive statistics techniques were explored. A total of 103 patients seeking cancer special-healthcare were interviewed, out of which 39 (37.86%) remained finally based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria with age (25–65 years), types of cancers (Carcinoma and Sarcoma), chemotherapy/radiotherapy received or not, before opting Integrated-pathy. Follow-ups revealed a significant increase in the QoL (17.91%) after receiving the integrated therapy over a course of at least 1 month. Further, a significant reduction in cancer-related pain followed by an increase in QoL index was reported in the patients. Shapiro–wilk test revealed significant pairing (p < 0.001) with validation of the model using test. To bolster evidence-based backing for Integrated-pathy, there is a need for clearly delineated clinical indicators that are measurable and trackable over time. Clinical investigators are encouraged to incorporate Integrated-pathy into their proposed interventions and conduct analogous studies to yield sustained advantages in the long run.

综合疗法对癌症患者癌症相关性疲劳的影响评估：一项观察性研究

综合疗法旨在通过应用阿育吠陀、瑜伽和自然医学的整体方法将现代医学与传统系统相结合。这对于解决针对包括癌症在内的慢性疾病提供长期姑息治疗的挑战非常重要。这项研究的主要目的是证实差异和综合方法背后的基本假设对癌症患者的生活质量具有积极影响。横断面观察研究。在获得患者的书面知情同意书后，我们制定并使用了一份标准化调查问卷，以评估综合病态对在 Patanjali Yoggram 接受护理的癌症患者 (n = 103) 的影响。该研究进行了8个多月。所有参与者均接受帕坦贾利规定的统一治疗方案。为了确定和验证样本量，计算了 α 和 1-β，并探索了夏皮罗威尔克检验和其他描述性统计技术，以了解治疗前和治疗后 QoL 评级的显着性。总共采访了 103 名寻求癌症特殊医疗保健的患者，其中 39 名（37.86%）最终根据年龄（25-65 岁）、癌症类型（癌和肉瘤）、化疗/排除标准保留下来。在选择综合疗法之前，是否接受过放射治疗。随访显示，接受至少 1 个月的综合治疗后，生活质量显着提高 (17.91%)。此外，据报道，患者的癌症相关疼痛显着减轻，随后生活质量指数提高。 Shapiro–wilk 检验揭示了与使用检验验证模型的显着配对 (p < 0.001)。为了支持综合疗法的循证支持，需要明确描述的临床指标，这些指标可以随着时间的推移进行测量和跟踪。鼓励临床研究人员将综合疗法纳入他们提出的干预措施中，并进行类似的研究，以从长远来看产生持续的优势。
