Nursing Experience of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for a Patient with Recurrent Epileptic Seizures Accompanied by Pain
This article summarizes the nursing experience of integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for a patient with recurrent epileptic seizures accompanied by pain. Based on nursing assessment and syndrome differentiation, conventional interventions such as disease control, dietary guidance, pain relief, and health education were supplemented with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, acupoint massage, herbal compress, herbal ointment rubbing, and acupoint application. These combined approaches effectively improved the patient’s condition, alleviated pain, enhanced sleep quality, and prevented complications.
