Nursing Experience of Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture Combined with Auricular Point Embedding for Postoperative Pain in a Replanted Finger Patient
This article summarizes the efficacy and nursing experience of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with auricular point embedding for postoperative pain management in a replanted finger patient. Guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, targeted nursing interventions—including wrist-ankle acupuncture, auricular point embedding, and psychological support—were implemented. The results demonstrated significant alleviation of pain and anxiety symptoms, with minimal adverse effects and high safety. The patient exhibited good compliance, suggesting this approach is worthy of clinical promotion.
