Nursing Experience of Auricular Point Sticking Combined with Intradermal Needle Therapy for Pain Relief in an Elderly Patient after Cholecystectomy
Pain management and emotional intervention in elderly patients after cholecystectomy remain key challenges in clinical nursing. This paper summarizes the integrated medical and nursing care practice for an elderly patient following cholecystectomy for gallstones. Guided by syndrome differentiation-based nursing, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing techniques including auricular point sticking and intradermal needle therapy were applied, in combination with pain management, psychological intervention, and health guidance. Postoperative pain was significantly alleviated, anxiety was relieved, no adverse reactions occurred, and the patient recovered smoothly. This case confirms the effectiveness and safety of appropriate TCM nursing techniques in postoperative pain management for elderly patients, providing a referable practical experience for perioperative nursing of similar elderly patients and offering valuable insights for optimizing postoperative care plans in this population.
