This paper summarizes the clinical nursing experience of one tinnitus patient with the phlegm-fire internal disturbance pattern treated with head scraping combined with acupoint pressure therapy. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and clinical nursing assessment, two characteristic TCM nursing techniques—head scraping and acupoint pressure therapy—were applied in addition to routine nursing care. The results demonstrated that these interventions effectively alleviated tinnitus symptoms, relieved anxiety, and significantly improved the patient's comfort and quality of life.
