Observation on the Effect of Clinical Intervention of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupoint Patching on Promoting Defecation in Patients with Intestinal Obstruction Who are Bedridden for a Long Time
Objective: To observe the effect of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint patching on clinical intervention in promoting defecation in patients with intestinal obstruction who are bedridden for a long time. Methods: 82 patients with intestinal obstruction who were bedridden for a long time in our hospital (from August 2023 to December 2024) were selected and randomly divided into an observation group (41 cases) with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint patch intervention and a control group (41 cases) with conventional intervention. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had shorter gastrointestinal function recovery time, lower clinical symptom scores, higher comfort scores, and higher quality of life scores, P<0.05. Conclusion: Giving Chinese medicine acupoint patches to long-term bedridden patients with intestinal obstruction can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce clinical symptoms, improve comfort and quality of life, and is worth learning from.
