Methods A total of 120 lung cancer chemotherapy patients from January 2024 to June 2025 admitted to the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City were selected, and randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were given routine nursing. The control group(60 cases) received ear acupressure, while the intervention group(60 cases) received acupoint application and ear acupressure. The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome scores, sleep quality, cancer-related fatigue, and quality of life were compared in the two groups. Results After intervention, the TCM syndrome scores in both groups decreased, and the intervention group was lower(P<0.05). After intervention, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) scores decreased in both groups, and the intervention group was lower(P<0.05). After the intervention, the Chinese Version of Cancer Fatigue Scale(CFS) decreased in both groups, and the intervention group was lower(P<0.05). After intervention, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-lung(FACT-L Chinese version) scores increased in both groups, and the intervention group was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Acupoint application and ear acupressure can improve the TCM syndrome of lung cancer chemotherapy patients, enhance their sleep quality and quality of life, alleviate cancer-related fatigue.
