Nursing Report on Plum Blossom Needle Combined with Intradermal Needle Therapy for a Patient with Acute Herpes Zoster
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with acute herpes zoster treated with plum blossom needle combined with intradermal needle therapy. Based on syndrome differentiation and holistic care in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the patient received plum blossom needle and intradermal needle therapy, complemented by skin care, dietary guidance, and emotional nursing interventions. These measures effectively alleviated symptoms such as pain, insomnia, and anxiety caused by herpes zoster, improving the patient’s quality of life. This method is simple, cost-effective, safe, and free of adverse reactions, making it worthy of clinical promotion.
