Case Report on Facial Gua Sha Therapy for a Stroke Patient with Mouth Deviation
This case report presents the successful application of facial Gua Sha therapy in improving mouth deviation symptoms in a stroke patient. The patient was admitted with a 2-day history of mouth deviation and diagnosed with ischemic stroke (Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome). During hospitalization, facial Gua Sha intervention was implemented to promote facial functional recovery. Nursing care emphasized condition monitoring, emotional regulation, dietary guidance, medication management, and daily activity support. Through comprehensive nursing measures, the patient's mouth deviation significantly improved, leading to discharge with marked clinical recovery. This case demonstrates the efficacy of facial Gua Sha therapy in managing post-stroke mouth deviation, offering a reference for clinical nursing practice.
