Nursing Care of a Patient with Central Neuropathic Pain and Insomnia Treated with Copper-Bian Gua Sha: A Case Report
This article summarizes the nursing experience of applying meridian-based copper-bian gua sha in a patient with central neuropathic pain secondary to multiple sclerosis. Guided by syndrome differentiation and based on the theory of extraordinary connections among the zang-fu organs, a tailored gua sha protocol was developed. Interventions comprised meridian-based copper-bian gua sha therapy combined with Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) exercise, dietary guidance based on traditional Chinese medicine medicated diet, and routine nursing care, aiming to alleviate pain, relieve anxiety, and improve sleep quality.
