Analysis of the Impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Rehabilitation Nursing Model on the Recovery of Patients with Cerebral Infarction
Purpose: This study aims to explore the improvement effect of traditional Chinese medicine combined with comprehensive rehabilitation nursing model on neurological function, daily living ability and psychological state of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: The study selected 100 patients in the recovery stage of cerebral infarction who were treated between January 2023 and January 2025, and were randomly divided into two groups: observation group (receiving rehabilitation care integrated with traditional Chinese medicine, n = 50) and control group (receiving traditional care, n = 50). The control group adopted conventional nursing measures, including condition monitoring and basic rehabilitation training; while the observation group, on the basis of conventional nursing, added acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine hot compress, acupoint massage, early passive limb training, personalized language rehabilitation, psychological intervention and family collaborative management. The study evaluated the effect of the comprehensive rehabilitation nursing model by comparing the changes in NIHSS scores, Barthel index, SAS scores, SDS scores and APN levels of the two groups of patients before and after intervention. Results: After intervention, the NIHSS score (9.24 ± 2.12 vs. 14.53 ± 3.47), Barthel index (72.31 ± 8.62 vs. 55.89 ± 7.26), SAS (38.55 ± 4.79 vs. 46.25 ± 5.13), SDS (40.15 ± 5.36 vs. 48.96 ± 5.83) and APN level (12.57 ± 2.33 μg/mL vs. 8.72 ± 1.95 μg/mL) were significantly better than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The comprehensive rehabilitation nursing model combined with traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve the neurological functional potential and quality of life of patients with cerebral infarction, while reducing psychological stress, showing its application prospects in clinical practice.
