Nursing Case Report of Hufu Copper Bian-stone Gua Sha in Treating One Case of Acute Stiff Neck with Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis Pattern
This paper summarizes the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing experience of applying Hufu Copper Bian-stone Gua Sha for intervention in one case of acute stiff neck with qi stagnation and blood stasis pattern. Centered on syndrome differentiation-based TCM nursing, Hufu Copper Bian-stone Gua Sha was performed to scrape along the courses of key meridians and acupoints in the cervical and nuchal region according to the patient’s pathogenesis characteristics, combined with individualized TCM health education. The results showed that immediately after treatment, the patient's Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score decreased from 6 points to 2 points; symptoms of cervical muscle spasm and stiffness were significantly alleviated, and the functions of cervical flexion, extension and rotation were markedly improved. No recurrence was observed during short-term follow-up, and the patient met the criteria for clinical cure. Hufu Copper Bian-stone Gua Sha has definite therapeutic effects on acute stiff neck with qi stagnation and blood stasis pattern, with the advantages of safety, non-invasiveness and rapid onset of action. It can effectively unblock stasis-obstructed meridians in the neck, relieve myofascial spasm, improve local qi and blood circulation, and restore normal motor function of the cervical spine. With high patient acceptance and treatment compliance, this therapy is suitable for extensive clinical promotion and application.
