Nursing Report on Yang-Warming Therapy for Insomnia in a Patient with Retroperitoneal Fibrosis and Ureteral Stricture
This report summarizes the nursing management of insomnia in a patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis complicated by ureteral stricture, focusing on the therapeutic effects of external TCM techniques including moxibustion, acupoint application, and herbal hot compress. Based on the Eight-Principle Pattern Differentiation, the patient was diagnosed with spleen-kidney yang deficiency complicated by internal dampness-blood stasis. The nursing protocol followed syndrome-specific principles: (1) Moxibustion to warm and tonify spleen-kidney yang; (2) Dampness-resolving and stasis-dissolving herbal acupoint application to unblock meridians; (3) Local herbal hot compress to alleviate lumbar pain. Integrated with emotional regulation and lifestyle-dietary guidance, these interventions significantly improved insomnia symptoms, reduced lumbar pain intensity, relieved anxiety, and enhanced the patient's quality of life.
