A Report on Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing for a Patient with Herpes Zoster of Liver Channel Damp-Heat Type
This article summarizes the nursing interventions for a patient with herpes zoster during treatment. Targeted TCM nursing measures, including fire needling, herbal wet compresses, bloodletting therapy, moxibustion, dietary guidance, and emotional regulation, were implemented according to the disease progression stages. Through integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment, the patient’s lumbar and abdominal pain gradually alleviated, skin lesions improved, and no postherpetic neuralgia was observed during a one-month follow-up. The patient’s mental state remained stable, demonstrating the advantages of TCM-specific therapies.
