Nursing Experience of Auricular Acupoint Seed Pressing Combined with Intradermal Needling in Treating a Patient with Hypertension Complicated by Insomnia: A Case Report
This article summarizes the nursing experience of caring for a patient with hypertension (phlegm-heat upward congestion pattern) complicated by insomnia. Guided by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories, including the four diagnostic methods and eight-principle syndrome differentiation, non-pharmacological TCM interventions were applied, including auricular acupoint seed pressing combined with intradermal needling, together with syndrome-differentiated dietary regulation and syndrome-differentiated emotional nursing. Following the intervention, the patient's symptoms of insomnia and dizziness were significantly improved compared with those before treatment.
