Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that often begins in childhood and can extend over the entire life course; therefore, it is necessary to establish a long-term, systematic life-course management model. Whole life-cycle disease management emphasizes interventions at key points in time and focuses on diagnosis and treatment points at all stages of life and disease processes. Guided by the concept of holism and preventive treatment, this article discussed the application strategies of TCM in the prevention, control, treatment, health and management of epilepsy in children at different stages. In the prevention period, the disease should be prevented first, and early screening should be carried out; in the control period, the disease should be prevented from changing, and the early intervention of Chinese materia medica should be carried out; during the treatment period, the combination of disease and syndrome and dynamic syndrome differentiation by stages were adopted; during the rehabilitation period, the treatment of different diseases with the same treatment should be emphasized to manage the comorbidity and improve the prognosis; in the long-term management period, the prevention and recovery after stroke should be focused on, and the comprehensive management scheme of TCM in the transition period from children to adults should be put forward. This article systematically expounded the role of TCM in improving seizure control rate and prognosis in the whole life-cycle management of childhood epilepsy, and actively explored the construction of the whole process health management system of chronic diseases.
