Nursing Experience of Cupping Therapy Combined with Herbal Ointment Massage for Knee Joint Pain in a Patient with True Heart Pain
This article summarizes the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing experience for knee joint pain in a patient during the recovery phase of acute myocardial infarction. Based on TCM syndrome differentiation and nursing theory, interventions included cupping therapy combined with herbal ointment massage, supplemented by TCM-specific nursing care, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional regulation. After four days of intervention, the patient's knee joint pain significantly improved. This protocol demonstrated advantages such as minimal adverse effects, high safety, and good patient compliance, making it worthy of clinical reference and promotion.
