Nursing Experience of Acupoint Massage in Treating a Patient with Dizziness and Headache after Intravenous Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report
This article summarizes the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing practice for a patient with dizziness and headache following intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke. Based on TCM syndrome differentiation (Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome), the intervention emphasized acupoint massage as a specialized technique, supplemented by conventional ischemic stroke care. Results demonstrated significant symptom relief: the Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) score decreased from 37 to 31, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score improved from 16 to 10, muscle strength increased from grade 3 to grade 5, and negative emotions were alleviated, leading to a favorable prognosis. This case suggests that acupoint massage may serve as an effective TCM nursing intervention for managing dizziness and headache post-thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients.
