Nursing Report on Acupoint Massage Combined with Herbal Compress Therapy in a Patient with Lower Limb Numbness and Spasm after Tethered Cord Surgery
This article summarizes the nursing experience of acupoint massage combined with herbal compress therapy in a patient with postoperative lower limb numbness and spasms following tethered cord release. The patient underwent microscopic tethered cord release and terminal filum sectioning under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and neurophysiological monitoring, presenting postoperatively with bilateral lower limb numbness, weakness, and spasms accompanied by emotional agitation. After intervention with acupoint massage and herbal compress therapy, symptoms were alleviated, leading to successful rehabilitation and discharge.
