Nursing Report on Balancing Cupping Therapy for Obesity with Spleen Deficiency and Dampness Obstruction Pattern in a Patient
This report summarizes the therapeutic outcomes and nursing experience of Balancing Cupping Therapy in an obese patient presenting with Spleen Deficiency and Dampness Obstruction Pattern. Guided by fundamental theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the therapy employed rapid-fire movements (Shan), sliding techniques (Zou), and stationary retention (Liu Guan) on the basis of conventional cupping. Through physical stimulation—including cutaneous traction and friction—the treatment activated meridian qi, regulated qi dynamics, dispelled cold-dampness pathogens, and harmonized blood circulation. Integrated with routine nursing interventions encompassing psychological support, exercise guidance, and dietary modification, this approach effectively reduced body weight, enhanced self-confidence, and improved the patient’s quality of life.
