Effect of foam dressing combined with moxibustion and moist exposed burn ointment in treating pressure injuries after stroke

Objective To explore the curative effect of moxibustion (warming meridians) and moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) (removing decay and promoting muscle regeneration) combined with foam dressing on pressure injuries after stroke. Methods A total of sixty patients with post-stroke pressure injuries who were admitted to hospital from June 2024 to December 2024 were selected. According to the method of random number table, they were divided into the observation group (n=30 cases, receiving moxibustion, MEBO combined with foam dressing) and the control group (30 cases, foam dressing applied externally). The score of Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) and overall efficacy of two groups were compared. Results The score of PUSH was decreased at 15 days after treatment (P＜0. 05), and decease was more remarkable in the observation group than that in the control group (P＜0. 05). The therapeutic effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (86. 67% vs. 63. 33%, P＜0. 05). Conclusion The combination of moxibustion, MEBO and foam dressing is effective in treating pressure injuries after stroke, and can be popularized as a traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for pressure injuries. (目的 探讨艾灸(温通经络)与湿润烧伤膏(祛腐生肌)联合泡沫敷料治疗脑卒中后压疮的效果。方法 选取2024年6月—12月科室收治的脑卒中后压疮患者60例, 按照随机数字表法分成观察组和对照组, 各30例。对照组采用常规创面护理联合泡沫敷料外敷; 在对照组基础上, 观察组采用艾灸与湿润烧伤膏治疗。对比两组压疮愈合量表(PUSH)评分, 评价干预效果。结果 治疗15 d后, 两组压疮愈合量表评分均降低(P＜0. 05), 且观察组降低幅度较对照组明显, 差异有统计学意义(P＜0. 05)。观察组总有效率高于对照组(86. 67% vs. 63. 33%), 差异有统计学意义(P＜0. 05)。结论 艾灸与湿润烧伤膏联合泡沫敷料治疗治疗脑卒中后压疮效果明确, 可作为辅助治疗压疮的中医治疗方法进行推广。)
