Objective To explore the effect of using heat sensitive moxibustion combined with ear acupoint pressing intervention on patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR)root pain,in order to guide the formulation of clinical intervention measures and promote clinical benefits for patients.Methods A total of 120 patients with CSR root pain admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to September 2023 were prospectively selected.They were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 60 patients in each group.The control group received routine intervention combined with ear acupoint pressure,while the observation group received heat sensitive moxibustion intervention for one month.Compare the pain level,neck mobility,quality of life,and nursing satisfaction between two groups.Results After intervention,the visual analogue scale scores of both groups were lower than before intervention,and observation group was lower than control group(P<0.05);After intervention,both groups showed an increase in neck mobility,and observation group had a higher range of motion(P<0.05);After intervention,36-item short form in both groups improved,and observation group had a higher score(P<0.05);The nursing satisfaction of observation group was higher than that of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of heat sensitive moxibustion combined with ear acupoint pressure,can alleviate pain,improve neck mobility,improve quality of life,and increase patient's satisfaction with nursing care in patient's with CSR root pain.

Objective:To investigate the application of Wuxing music combined with traditional Chinese medicine bath and golden paste encapsulation in patients with psoriasis vulgaris(blood-heat syndrome).Methods:In this prospective study,80 patients with psoriasis vulgaris(blood heat syndrome)admitted to our hospital from Nov 2020 to Nov 2022 were included and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 40 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing intervention,and the observation group received Wuxing music combined with traditional Chinese medicine bath and golden paste encapsulation nursing on the basis of control group,4 weeks as a course of treatment.After 2 courses of nursing,nursing effect,the scores of SCL-90 and DQOLS,the levels of serum inflammatory factors[interleukin-13(IL-13),transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)],and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The area and severity of skin lesions in the two groups were lower than before nursing,and the changes in the observation group were more significant(P<0.05).The scores of SCL-90 and DQOLS in the two groups were lower than those before nursing,and the changes in the observation group were more significant(P<0.05).The levels of IL-13,TGF-β and TNF-α in the two groups were lower than those before nursing,and the levels of these indicators in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions:Wuxing music combined with traditional Chinese medicine bath and golden paste encapsulation has a significant nursing effect on patients with psoriasis vulgaris(blood heat syndrome).It can decrease serum inflammatory factors,alleviate the degree of skin lesions,and iprove quality of life and nursing satisfaction.
