Abstract:
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)is a common behavioral disorder in children and has significant non-specific symptoms.The specific pathogenesis of ADHD remains unclear.Chinese medicine has a unique advantage in treating this disease.The"qi cycle in round"theory is a unique diagnosis and treatment system constructed by Huang Yuanyu,a Qing Dynasty physician,through systematic integration and innovative development of the theoretical framework of traditional Chinese medicine,which is widely used in clinical practice.Based on the"qi cycle in round"theory,the pathogenesis of ADHD in children was discussed,and the abnormal middle qi was proposed as the root cause of the disease,with hyperactivity of the liver,lung depletion,and fire as the key contributing factors.Guided by the"qi cycle in round"theory in the treatment of ADHD in children,the approach focuses on restoring and balancing central qi.It emphasized the understanding of the overall changes in the spleen,stomach,lungs,liver,heart,kidney,and other viscera,along with the movement of qi.Treatment focuses on methods such as lifting clear yang,reducing stomach turbidity,softening the liver and quenching the wind,suppressing the lungs and reducing the inversion,and reducing the fire and returning to the yuan.These interventions aim to promote the smooth circulation of the qi circulation from multiple perspectives,thereby facilitating recovery.
