Abstract:

Objective　To explore the recovery effect of moxibustion and acupoint application nursing for patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction after craniocerebral trauma. Methods　Eighty patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction after craniocerebral trauma admitted to Department of Brain Surgery, Liangyungang Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to April 2022 were selected for the random control trial. They were divided into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. There were 20 males and 20 females in the control group who were (43.69±7.64) years old. There were 24 males and 16 females in the observation group who were (45.41±9.45) years old. The control group took routine gastrointestinal nursing. The observation group took moxibustion and acupoint application nursing. The gastrointestinal function recovery, disorder and quality of life of the two groups were compared the next day of admission and 2 weeks after admission. t and χ² tests were applied. Results　The bowel sound recovery time, first exhaust time, and first defecation time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group, with statistical differences (t=3.091, 3.197, and 3.130; all P<0.05). The total scores of gastrointestinal dysfunction 2 weeks after admission in both groups were lower than those the next day of admission. The total score of gastrointestinal dysfunction 2 weeks after admission in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [(1.91±0.43) vs. (2.25±0.47); t=3.376, P=0.001]. The scores of symptoms, emotion, body function, social function, and medication 2 weeks after admission in both group were higher than those the next day of admission. The scores of symptoms, emotion, body function, social function, and medication 2 weeks after admission in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences (t=3.146, 2.674, 2.725, 2.671, and 3.313; all P<0.05). Conclusion　Moxibustion and application acupoint nursing are conducive to the recovery of patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction after craniocerebral trauma, shorten the time of gastrointestinal ventilation, and improve their quality of life.
