Nursing Experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine Wet Dressing Combined with Infrared Radiation Therapy for Low Back Pain in an Elderly Patient with Lumbar Disc Herniation and Radiculopathy: A Case Report
This paper summarizes the integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing experience for an elderly patient with pneumonia complicated by lumbar disc herniation and radiculopathy. The patient presented with cough and sputum production as well as lower back and leg pain as the predominant clinical manifestations. On the basis of precise condition assessment and routine Western medicine nursing interventions, a syndrome differentiation–guided approach was adopted, employing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wet dressing combined with infrared radiation therapy to alleviate low back pain. This was complemented by comprehensive measures including pain management, functional exercise, dietary guidance, and emotional nursing. Consequently, the patient's cough and sputum symptoms were relieved, and the lower back and leg pain as well as the nerve root compression symptoms improved significantly.
