Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing Care Report for One Patient with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of implementing integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of one patient with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. After admission, the patient received symptomatic treatment including antiviral therapy, neurotrophic support, and circulation improvement. Guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation, TCM-characterized interventions were administered, including acupoint application, suspended moxibustion, TCM medicated rubbing, TCM directed drug penetration, and oral administration of Chinese herbal decoction, in conjunction with specialized nursing care for pain management, sleep regulation, emotional support, and facial paralysis rehabilitation. Following treatment and nursing care, the patient's pain was completely relieved and the symptoms of facial paralysis showed significant improvement. The case report is presented as follows.
