Objective To evaluate the effect of combined TCM fumigation and auricular point sticking pressure on diabetic skin pruritus.Methods 187 diabetic patients with skin pruritus selected from April 2017 to January 2019 were randomly divided into three groups.60 cases were assigned to the TCM fumigation group who received conventional nursing and TCM fumigation,64 cases were assigned to the auricular point pressing group who received conventional nursing and auricular pressure,and 63 cases were assigned to the combined group who were given conventional nursing,TCM fumigation and auricular pressure.The intervention course was 7 days for all diabetic patients.The changes of Modified Duo’s VAG Scale before and after the intervention of 3 groups were compared.Results The differences of nursing intervention effect of the TCM fumigation group,auricular point pressing pressure group and combined group were statistically significant（P<0.01）.Pairwise comparison of nursing intervention effect showed that the intervention effect of TCM fumigation combined with auricular point pressing was better than that of TCM fumigation group and the auricular point pressing group,and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.01）.Conclusion TCM fumigation combined with auricular point pressing can relieve itching of diabetic patients,and the effect of combined TCM fumigation group and auricular point pressing is better than single use of these two Methods.
