Abstract:
Based on the theory of “manifestation-body and spirit-qi”， it is considered that the pathogenesis of tic disorders （TD） involves three manifestations of “wind， phlegm and fire”， with wind as the leading factor and phlegm and fire as the accompanying factors. It is advocated to identify the abnormality of body and spirit， summarize the evolution of manifestation， and prescribe flexibly based on qi movement of zang-fu organs. Among them， the common symptoms related to tics are mostly belong to wind symptoms， which originated from lung qi failing to purify and liver qi over-ascent. The method of soothing liver wood and purifying lung gold is adopted， and modified Xiaochaihu Decoction （小柴胡汤） and Cangerzi Powder （苍耳子散） are recommended； Patients with prolonged illness and strange symptoms are often mixed with phlegm， which stemmed from the fact that spleen failing to rise clear and stomach failing to downward turbid. The method of raising spleen-earth and lowering stomach-earth is adopted， and modified Yigong Powder （异功散） and Erchen Decoction （二陈汤） are recommended； Patients with severe symptoms are often mixed with fire symptoms， which originated from discordance of water and fire and hyperactivity of heart fire. The method of interacting heart and kidney and coordinating water and fire is adopted， and modified Xiegan Pill （泻肝丸） and Liuwei Dihuang Pill （六味地黄丸） are recommended， in order to regulate qi movement， harmonize body and spirit， and improve the symptoms.
