Nursing Care of Herbal Ointment Massage in Improving Hand Function in a Patient with Dampness-Heat Accumulation Type Rheumatoid Arthritis
This article summarizes the nursing experience of using herbal ointment massage to improve hand dysfunction in a patient with dampness-heat accumulation type rheumatoid arthritis. By observing the patient's hand joint pain, swelling, and range of motion, a combination of herbal ointment massage and syndrome-differentiated nursing was implemented. This approach effectively alleviated symptoms such as hand pain, morning stiffness duration, grip strength, and joint mobility, thereby enhancing the patient's quality of life. The results highlight the advantages of traditional Chinese external therapies in "treating both internal and external aspects and promoting meridian dredging and pain relief."
