Nursing Experience of Chinese Herbal Ointment Massage Combined with Infrared Therapy in a Patient with Deviated Mouth
This paper reports a nursing case of a 35-year-old patient with facial paralysis (facial neuritis) of wind-phlegm obstructing collaterals type. The patient was admitted with left-sided deviation of the mouth and eye for 4 days, diagnosed as "deviated mouth (wind-phlegm obstructing collaterals pattern)" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and facial neuritis in Western medicine. Initial House-Brackmann grading was V, accompanied by anxiety (SAS score 66), pain (VAS score 5), and sleep disorders. Treatment included Chinese herbal ointment massage (composed of Astragalus, Angelica sinensis, Typhonii Rhizoma, etc.) combined with infrared therapy, supplemented with facial functional training, emotional nursing (five-element music therapy), and syndrome-differentiated diet (foods for dispelling wind-phlegm and strengthening spleen to resolve dampness). After 10 days of treatment, facial nerve function recovered to House-Brackmann grade I, with significant improvement in anxiety, pain, and sleep disorders. The integrated TCM nursing protocol demonstrated efficacy for wind-phlegm obstructing collaterals-type facial paralysis, providing a reference for clinical nursing.
