Abstract:
Tinnitus is a refractory condition in otology.It is widely accepted that patients with tinnitus can only adapt to it,for there is no universally recognized effective pharmacotherapy till now.Through the interpretation of classical Chinese medical texts and after decades of clinical practice,Professor Liu Peng proposes that the primary pathogenesis of tinnitus is due to spleen-stomach dysfunction,largely caused by unhealthy life styles.Based on the holistic perspective of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),he developed the Yishi therapy for tinnitus management.Yishi therapy emphasizes the integration of medical treatment and self-care via prioritizing mentorship and assisting with medical techniques.The mentorship is embodied by identifying and correcting patients' unhealthy living habits,guiding the patients to maintain dietary moderation,regular living,and emotional regulation,thereby activating their self-recuperative powers and promoting tinnitus.Medical techniques refer to the utilization of oral use of herbal medicine and external therapies on the basis of adjustment of lifestyle,aiming to restore the spleen-stomach function of ascending of lucidity and descending of turbidity,thereby alleviating tinnitus.Oral use of herbal medicine is performed with Guzhong Decoction(mainly composed of Astragali Radix,Codonopsis Radix,Cinnamomi Ramulus,Zingiberis Rhizoma,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum,Amomi Fructus,Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma,and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle)as the basic formula,through modified use based on syndrome differentiation.External treatment mainly refers to auricular acupoint pressing and occipital-knocking therapy.By combining the medical treatment and self-care,Yishi therapy exerts reliable efficacy for the treatment of tinnitus through regulating spleen-stomach function and activating the self-recuperative powers,and will provide a novel therapeutic approach to tinnitus.
