Nursing Experience of Combined Treatment with Chinese Herbal Hot Compress and Chinese Herbal Cupping in One Case of Knee Arthralgia
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a 74-year-old patient with knee arthralgia due to qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. Guided by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, the treatment combined Chinese herbal hot compress with Chinese herbal cupping, supplemented by personalized nursing interventions. The nursing protocol included assessments using four specialized scales (e.g., pain and fall risk), formulation of three nursing diagnoses, and implementation of targeted nursing plans (covering lifestyle adjustments, dietary modifications, and emotional regulation). After 10 days of treatment, the patient's numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score decreased significantly from 5 to 1, the Morse Fall Risk Score reduced from 35 to 25, and activities of daily living remained stable. This case demonstrates that the combined use of Chinese herbal hot compress and cupping with precision nursing effectively alleviates symptoms in knee arthralgia patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, manifested as pain relief and reduced fall risk. The findings not only provide clinical evidence for the application of TCM-specific nursing in knee arthralgia but also lay a practical foundation for future large-sample studies.
