The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores and the effects of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results After 2 weeks of intervention, the JOA scores of the observation group and the control group were (91.1±4.3) and (63.2±4.2) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.01). Additionally, the effective rates of the observation group and the control group were 100.0% and 87.5% respectively. It was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P< 0.05). Conclusions Zhuang medicine tendons method with Zhuang herbal medicine inunction after ironing therapy can improve the score of clinical symptoms and theraputic effects in knee osteoarthritis patients

In the observation group, 36 patients were totally complied, three patients were partially complied, and one patient was not complied, which were significantly better than those of the control group (Z=4. 96,P<0. 05). In the observation group, 37 patients were totally satisfied, three patients were basically satisfied, and no patient was not satisfied, which were significantly better than those of the control group (Z =4. 97,P <0. 05). Conclusions The application of TCM clinical nursing pathway in facial paralysis patients can reduce the length of hospital stay and hospital costs, and improve patients′care compliance and satisfaction.
