Objective To explore the nursing effect of the Chilong Stirring the Sea exercise prescription in improving the thirst sensation of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods Eighty patients with MHD accompanied by thirst were selected as the research samples. The time range was from May 2024 to May 2025. They were randomly and evenly divided into groups, namely 40 cases in the control group and 40 cases in the observation group, The control group received routine care, while the observation group was added with the prescription of Chilong Stirring the Sea exercise. The thirst conditions and weight gain of the two groups were compared. Results At 12 weeks after the intervention, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and Oral Dryness Scale (SXI) score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, the static total salival flow rate (UWS) was higher than that of the control group, and the weight gain was less than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference before the intervention (P > 0.05). Conclusion The prescription of the "Red Dragon Stirring the Sea" exercise for patients with MHD accompanied by thirst has a significant effect. It can improve the patients thirst, increase saliva secretion, and control weight gain.
