Abstract:
Central hiccup frequently occurs secondary to stroke and is not solely attributed to gastric disharmony with ascending counterflow qi disturbing the diaphragm.It is also associated with post-stroke orifice obstruction with spirit concealment and failure of the spirit to guide qi.In treatment,regulating qi movement and simultaneous brain-diaphragm intervention warrant attention.The foot shaoyang gallbladder meridian interconnects the head,neck,diaphragm,and thorax through its pathway,and as a shaoyang meridian,it plays a pivotal role in coordinating qi dynamics.This study investigates the theoretical and structural foundations for treating central hiccup via the gallbladder meridian,based on meridian-viscera theory and the reflex arc of hiccup.By analyzing the meridian-viscera relationships between the gallbladder meridian and the pathological loci of central hiccup,this study elucidates its etiology and pathogenesis,proposing a gallbladder meridian-oriented therapeutic approach to provide novel clinical insights.
