Methods From April 2017 to April 2019, a total of 96 patients with coronary heart disease with psychological pain were admitted to The Third Department of Cardiovascular Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into observation group 48 cases and control group 48 cases. The observation group received psycho-cardiologic nursing and pressneedle therapy, while the control group received routine nursing. The changes of distress thermometer (DT), anxiety self-rating scale (SAS), depression self-rating scale (SDS) and TCM symptom score were observed. Results After intervention, the scores of DT, SAS and SDS in both groups were lower than before intervention (all P < 0.05). The scores of DT, SAS and SDS in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, the scores of chest pain, chest tightness, chest side fullness, restless mood, irritability and palpitations in the observation group were all lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). In the control group, chest pain, chest tightness, restless mood and palpitations were all lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). In the observation group, the scores of chest tightness, chest swelling and irritability were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).
