Abstract:
[Objective]To summarize the clinical experience of Dr.QIU Shengliang in treating gastro-esophageal reflux disease(GERD)through regulating Qi dynamics,providing reference for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome differentiation and treatment of this condition.[Methods]Through clinical apprenticeships and case analysis combined with classical text research,this paper elucidates the core pathogenesis of"Qi movement disorders"in GERD.It systematically presents Dr.QIU's diagnostic framework centering on regulating Qi dynamics,focusing on spleen-stomach-liver coordination while addressing phlegm-stasis complications.The treatment protocol features flexible herbal applications tailored to syndrome patterns,supported with a representative case study.[Results]Guided by the principle of harmonizing the flow of Qi,Dr.QIU's approach integrates three therapeutic strategies:strengthening the spleen and stomach,soothing liver Qi,and resolving phlegm and blood stasis.The subsequent follow-up revealed that the patient's symptoms were effectively relieved,with no recurrence,thereby validating this method.[Conclusion]Dr.QIU's treatment system emphasizes Qi dynamics regulation as the core principle for GERD management,focusing on visceral functional balance through multi-dimensional interventions encompassing herbal therapy,dietary regulation,emotional management and exercise guidance.This holistic approach demonstrates significant clinical efficacy while embodying TCM's characteristic holistic philosophy and syndrome differentiation principles,offering valuable insights for TCM management of GERD.
