Abstract:
Chinese medicine has certain advantages in treating the disease of children ADHD which caused by brain dysfunction. According to the physiological characteristics of "kidney is often insufficient" in children, and the close relations among kidney, marrow, essence and brain, we put forward the pathomechanism hypothesis that growth retardation of spinal marrow caused ADHD, and thought that the def iciency of kidney essence, growth retardation of spinal marrow, and imbalance of yin and yang (yang superabundant and yin insufficient), are the keys of pathomechanism of ADHD. Accordingly, the tonifying kidney and replenishing essence treatment principle was established, and YiZhiNingShen granule was made which had been conf irmed effectively by clinical and experimental research.
