Objective To observe and analyze the application effect of acupoint plaster application combined with traditional Chinese nursing on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods 90 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted to the hospital from April 2025 to February 2026 were selected. All of them were randomly divided by the random number table method. 45 cases of the conventional Western medicine treatment and nursing were selected as the control group, and 45 cases of acupoint plaster application combined with traditional Chinese nursing were selected as the observation group. The changes in TCM syndrome scores, pulmonary function, and clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results Compared with the control group, the indicators of TCM syndrome scores in the observation group after intervention were significantly lower, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05); Compared with the control group, the improvement of various pulmonary function indicators in the observation group after intervention was better, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05); Compared with the control group, the efficacy of the observation group was higher, reaching 95.56 (43/45), and the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupoint plaster application combined with traditional Chinese nursing applied to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can effectively reduce TCM syndrome scores, improve clinical symptoms and pulmonary function indicators of patients, and have a good therapeutic effect, which is worthy of application.
