Abstract:
This parer summarized the clinical experience of Professor ZHANG Zhiyuan in treating stroke sequelae from the perspective of regulating qi and blood. It is believed that the basic pathogenesis of stroke sequelae is disharmony of qi and blood, and it is advocated that the basic treatment method is to regulate qi and blood. For the three major symptoms of stroke sequelae, including hemiplegia, cognitive dysfunction, and sluggish speech, the effective formulas have been summarized. Hemiplegia is often treated with Chongsu Qiju Decoction (重塑起居汤) to tonify the center and replenish qi, activate blood and dredge collaterals. Cognitive dysfunction is often treated with modified San Hua Decoction (三化汤) to resolve phlegm and purge heat, regulate qi and tonify blood. And sluggish speech is often treated with Zishou Jieyu Decoction (资寿解语汤) to warm and tonify yang qi, expel wind and remove phlegm. Meanwhile, the self-made Zhinao Huayu Decoction (治脑化瘀汤) is used to prevent the occurrence of stroke sequelae, and to regulate the blood and qi by using wind medicinals and the method of relaxing and purging bowels to cure the disease.
