Nursing Care for a Patient with Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis Syndrome-Type Gastric Ptosis and Abdominal Distension Treated with Chinese Herbal Ointment Massage Combined with Auricular Therapy: A Case Report
This article summarizes the nursing experience derived from the application of Chinese herbal ointment massage combined with auricular therapy in the treatment of a patient presenting with gastric ptosis and abdominal distension attributed to qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. Guided by the theoretical framework of TCM syndrome differentiation and individualized nursing, and adhering to the principles of unblocking the fu organs to eliminate stagnation, fortifying the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, and promoting qi circulation and blood activation, a standardized intervention protocol encompassing Chinese herbal ointment massage, auricular bean pressing, precise postural management, dietary regulation, and rehabilitative exercise was implemented. Following a seven-day course of treatment, the patient experienced significant alleviation of abdominal distension, postprandial bearing-down distension, and belching, alongside a marked improvement in quality of life. The integration of Chinese herbal ointment massage with auricular therapy in the management of patients with gastric ptosis and abdominal distension has demonstrated notable clinical efficacy and merits further promotion in clinical practice.
