Abstract

Objective To explore the effect and significance of providing traditional Chinese medicine hot compress packs for intervention in patients with postural syndrome after thyroid cancer surgery.
Methods A total of 160 samples from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from August 2022 to August 2024 were selected and randomly grouped by the random number table method. 80 cases in the control group received routine postoperative care, while 80 cases in the observation group received routine care combined with traditional Chinese medicine hot compress intervention. The postoperative headache and shoulder and neck muscle soreness, self-care ability, and sleep quality were compared between the groups.
Results The VAS scores of the observation group 2 days and 3 days after the operation were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The ADL scores of the observation group on the 2nd and 3rd days after the operation were higher than those of the control group, while the PSQI scores were lower than those of the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion   The intervention of traditional Chinese medicine hot compress is helpful to improve the pain and discomfort in the neck and shoulders of patients with postural syndrome after thyroid cancer surgery, enhance their self-care ability and quality of life, and relieve their sleep disorders. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
