Nursing Experience of Auricular Scraping Combined with Insomnia Massage in a Patient with Insomnia due to Liver Fire Disturbing the Heart
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with insomnia due to liver fire disturbing the heart treated with auricular scraping combined with insomnia massage. Key nursing interventions included holistic nursing assessment, routine care, emotional counseling, as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) auricular scraping and insomnia-specific massage. Therapeutic outcomes were evaluated using the Sleep Disorders Rating Scale (SDRS) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). After 21 days of TCM syndrome-differentiated nursing, the patient's insomnia symptoms and anxiety levels significantly improved. This study explores the efficacy of auricular scraping combined with massage for insomnia due to liver fire disturbing the heart, providing a clinical reference for similar cases.
