Abstract
This article summarizes the clinical nursing management of a patient with cubital tunnel syndrome treated with pulsed shortwave, red light irradiation, and Chinese herbal ointment massage. Through comprehensive nursing assessment, an integrated syndrome differentiation nursing model was applied, combining physiotherapy, muscle strength enhancement, neuroprotective training, and patient education. After treatment, the patient’s Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score decreased from 6 to 1, muscle strength improved from grade 3 to 4, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score reduced from 88 to 19, the Oberlin Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale score decreased from 7 to 2, and ulnar nerve conduction velocity increased from 30.1 m/s to 48.6 m/s, with no adverse reactions observed. This case demonstrates that the combined traditional Chinese and Western nursing approach effectively alleviates symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome, with minimal side effects, high compliance, and ease of clinical implementation.
