中医对失眠的认识

中医对失眠的认识有四种理论,即营卫阴阳论、脏腑论、邪气立论和其他因素引起。脏腑功能紊乱、邪气阻滞、气血阴阳平衡失调、神志不宁是发生失眠的基本病机。治疗方面,应将患者主观的失眠感觉与失眠所致日间不良结果(疲劳、注意力下降、打盹、记忆力差等)及客观检查相结合,辨证、审因论治。

TCM Thinking on Insomnia

There exist four kinds of TCM thinking on insomnia: yingwei yinyang theory,zangfu theory,pathogenic qi theory,and the theory of other pathogenic factors.The basic pathogenesis leading to insomnia are the failure of zang-fu function,stagnation of pathogenic qi,imbalance of qi,blood and yin and yang.On the respect of treatment,patients' subjective sense of insomnia should be combined with the insomnia-caused bad effects at day time(fartigue,attention drop,napping,bad memory) and the objective examination.The syndromes should be differentiated and the pathogenic factors be regarded for better treatment.
