Nursing Experience of Pestle Needle Combined with Auricular Plaster Therapy for a Case of Facial Deviation with Blood Stasis and Qi Stagnation Pattern
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with facial deviation attributed to blood stasis and qi stagnation pattern, treated with pestle needle therapy combined with auricular plaster therapy. The nursing protocol included comprehensive assessment, operational procedures, precautions, functional exercises, and outcome evaluation. Guided by the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation and holistic care, the intervention involved pestle needle manipulation at the Fengfu Bazhen (Wind Mansion Eight Arrays) and Heche Naozhui (Brain and Vertebral Segment of the Spinal Cord) regions, integrated with auricular plaster therapy and routine nursing care. This combined approach significantly improved facial motor dysfunction, alleviated anxiety and depressive symptoms, reduced the risk of complications, and enhanced the patient's overall quality of life.
