Abstract:
[Objective]To summarize the theoretical viewpoints and therapeutic applications of Professor FU Wenbin in the treatment of persistent somatoform pain disorder(PSPD).[Methods]By following the teacher's clinical evidence,organizing medical cases and combining with literature search,this article analyzed and summarized Professor FU's identification ideas and clinical experience in treating PSPD by using the integrated acupuncture model with a medical case attached.[Results]Professor FU believes that the disease is the result of the joint influence of emotional factors and body meridians Qi and blood lesions,which belongs to"pain caused by Qi injury".The diagnosis and treatment concepts of"soothing the liver"and"regulating the mind"are also emphasized,as well as the combination of"acupuncture at the top priority,followed by moxibustion and consolidation at the end"integration of acupuncture and moxibustion mode of treatment.This article cites the case of a female patient with long-term lower abdominal distension and pain to detail the application of therapies.The pain was the main symptom associated with emotional effects,mostly due to the meridian Qi and blood stagnation,so it took acupuncture for"soothing the liver and regulating the mind"as the key rule of treatment.In the operation of acupuncture,Professor FU suggested the need to pay attention to patient's mind,to enter and exit the needle slowly,and to cross-reference the pulse with the symptoms.The selection of acupuncture points emphasized the elevation and harmonization of Qi and blood.Acupuncture,moxibustion,bloodletting and intradermal needle embedding and other traditional Chinese medicine special therapy treatments were used to treat PSPD.[Conclusion]Professor FU's treatment of PSPD focuses on"soothing the liver and regulating the mind",treating the mind and body together,and using acupuncture and moxibustion to achieve good clinical efficacy.The experience can also provide ideas for the treatment of psychosomatic diseases with acupuncture and moxibustion,which is worthwhile to learn from in the clinic.
