Nursing Experience of Combined Herbal Soaking Therapy and Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing for an Elderly Patient with Multimorbid Atopic Dermatitis
This case report describes a comprehensive integrative intervention for an elderly patient with severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and multiple systemic comorbidities, where systemic medication posed high risks. The treatment protocol centered on external herbal soaking therapy (using Bingbai solution) combined with oral heat-clearing and dampness-resolving herbs, five-element music therapy for emotional regulation, syndrome-differentiated dietary guidance, and skin barrier rehabilitation. After 10 days of intervention, the patient's SCORAD score decreased from 68.5 to 30.2, itch VAS score dropped from 8 to 2, and PSQI total score improved from 18 to 9, with marked relief of anxiety. This approach effectively controlled skin lesions and enhanced physical-mental well-being while avoiding systemic drug risks, demonstrating the TCM nursing principles of "external therapy to eliminate pathogens, internal regulation to consolidate constitution, and holistic mind-body care." It provides a safe and feasible clinical pathway for managing complex multimorbid AD.
