A Case Report on Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing Based on the Theory of Simultaneous Regulation of the Lung and Spleen for Cervical Spondylosis Complicated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Qi-Deficiency Constipation
Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theories of "the lung and the large intestine being interior-exteriorly related" and "the lung governing the qi of the entire body," a comprehensive TCM nursing regimen centered on the simultaneous regulation of the lung and spleen was implemented for a patient with cervical spondylosis complicated by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Qi-deficiency constipation. The patient was differentiated as having cervical bi disease (qi stagnation and blood stasis pattern) and constipation (qi deficiency pattern). Adhering to the principles of regulating qi movement, tonifying qi to moisten the intestines, and warming the meridians to unblock the collaterals, a seven-day intervention combining visceral massage, Chinese herbal application, and Chinese herbal water cupping therapy was administered. Following treatment, the patient's neck and shoulder pain as well as constipation were significantly ameliorated. The Bristol Stool Form Scale type improved from type 2 to type 4, the Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) score decreased from 20 to 4, and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score decreased from 6 to 2. Chest tightness and abdominal distension were also alleviated. These findings suggest that this regimen can effectively improve the relevant clinical symptoms of patients, and holds valuable reference for clinical practice.
