Nursing Report on Constipation Massage Combined with Intradermal Needle Therapy in Treating Constipation in a Patient with Diabetic Kidney Disease
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of applying constipation massage combined with intradermal needle therapy in the treatment of a patient with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) complicated by constipation. For an 83-year-old patient with stage III DKD complicated by functional constipation, a comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing intervention consisting of constipation massage, intradermal needle therapy, syndrome-differentiated dietary regulation, and emotional nursing was implemented on the basis of conventional Western medical treatment for a consecutive two-week period. Results showed that after the intervention, the patient's defecation frequency improved from once every 5-7 days to once per day, with marked alleviation of difficult defecation, abdominal distension, dry mouth, and bitter taste in the mouth. Blood glucose control trended toward stability, and quality of life was significantly enhanced. These findings suggest that the non-pharmacological TCM nursing regimen of constipation massage combined with intradermal needle therapy is safe, effective, and easy to operate. It can significantly improve constipation symptoms in patients with DKD and stabilize blood glucose, reflecting the advantages of holistic TCM nursing in chronic disease management, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
