Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine sealing package on the degree of pain and joint function in patients with shoulder dislocation after reduction.Methods A total of 90 patients with shoulder dislocation who underwent reduction at Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from February 2023 to May 2024 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,by random number table method,with 45 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,while the observation group received traditional Chinese medicine sealing package intervention in addition to the control group's treatment.The pain level,joint function,range of motion of the shoulder joint,and satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The visual analog scale(VAS)score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group 2 at weeks after reduction,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The Constant-Murley shoulder joint score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group at 3 months after reduction,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The range of motion in forward flexion and abduction of the shoulder joint in the observation group was higher than that in the control group at 3 months after reduction,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The overall satisfaction with nursing care in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine sealing package can alleviate the degree of post-reduction pain in patients with shoulder dislocation,improve their range of motion and joint function,and increase patient satisfaction with nursing care.
