Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture Combined with Syndrome Differentiation Nursing in the Treatment of a Patient with Tennis Elbow: A Nursing Report
This report summarizes the clinical efficacy and nursing experience of wrist-ankle acupuncture therapy in treating a patient with refractory lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Guided by the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles of "holistic concept" and "syndrome differentiation nursing," a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s physical and mental condition was conducted. An individualized and systematic nursing plan was developed and implemented, centered on wrist-ankle acupuncture therapy and supplemented with functional exercise guidance, emotional counseling, and health education. After treatment and nursing interventions, the patient exhibited significant pain relief, improved joint function, alleviated anxiety, and enhanced quality of life. This report may serve as a reference for clinical nursing practices utilizing wrist-ankle acupuncture therapy for similar conditions.
