Case Practice of Acupoint Massage Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine External Application in Pain Management for a Patient with Lumbar Disc Herniation
This study investigates the clinical effects of acupoint massage combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) external application in the pain management of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). A patient with chronic pain received individualized acupoint massage and TCM external application, supplemented by comprehensive nursing interventions including pain monitoring, emotional care, and rehabilitation education, with an intervention duration of 14 days. The results demonstrated that the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score decreased from 7 to 2, the Barthel Index increased from 75 to 100, radicular pain and numbness in the lower extremities were essentially alleviated, and lumbar range of motion was significantly improved. No recurrence was observed at the 3-month follow-up. This protocol is safe, effective, and easy to perform. By dredging the meridians, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis, and when integrated with systematic TCM nursing care, it can consolidate therapeutic outcomes and reduce the recurrence rate, making it suitable for promotion and application in primary healthcare settings.
