Objective To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing with acupoint massage on pain in patients after sinusitis surgery. Methods A total of 72 patients who underwent sinusitis surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology of the hospital were selected as the research subjects. The time range was from January 2024 to December 2024. They were randomly divided into the control group (n=36) and the observation group (n=36) by the random number table method. The control group received routine care, while the observation group was given traditional Chinese medicine care based on acupoint massage. The postoperative pain relief, rehabilitation efficacy and complication rate of the two groups were compared. Results Compared with the control group, the postoperative pain score of the observation group was lower, and the difference was significant compared with the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of the observation group was higher and the complication rate was lower, with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of acupoint massage in traditional Chinese medicine nursing for patients after sinusitis surgery has an excellent effect. The postoperative pain of patients can be effectively relieved, the therapeutic effect can be improved, the occurrence of complications can be reduced, and the safety is considerable. It is worthy of promotion.
