Nursing Report on the Treatment of One Case of Occipital Neuralgia with Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Using Fire Dragon Cupping Combined with Moxibustion
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of one case of occipital neuralgia treated with Fire Dragon cupping combined with moxibustion. Based on the theory of syndrome differentiation nursing in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the patient received Fire Dragon cupping therapy on the neck to warm meridians, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain, combined with comprehensive nursing interventions including lifestyle adjustments, medication guidance, emotional regulation, and health education. After 14 days of intervention, the patient's visual analogue scale (VAS) score decreased from 7 to 2, and the Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) score improved from 78 to 48. The results demonstrated that this approach significantly relieved occipital neuralgia symptoms, improved anxiety, and enhanced sleep quality. Fire Dragon cupping combined with moxibustion is characterized by simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high safety, and absence of adverse effects, making it worthy of clinical promotion.
