The Application Effect of Auricular Point Application Combined with Acupoint Application Nursing in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Accompanied by Cough
Objective: To explore the clinical effect of auricular point application combined with acupoint application nursing on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accompanied by cough. Methods: 100 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were randomly divided into a control group (conventional nursing) and an observation group (conventional nursing + auricular point application combined with acupoint application), with 50 patients in each group. The cough symptoms, pulmonary function, inflammatory factors, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were compared between the two groups after nursing. Results: The observation group had lower cough scores and duration than the control group; FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were higher than those in the control group; IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower; TCM syndrome total score and sub-item scores were significantly reduced (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This nursing program can improve symptoms, enhance pulmonary function, and reduce inflammation, and is worthy of promotion.
