中医外治法治疗稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病研究进展

Research Progress of Chinese Medicine Treatment of Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with External Therapy

中医外治法治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病(chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases,COPD)在临床实践中已取得较好的疗效,可缓解临床症状、改善肺功能、减少急性发作次数,从而提高患者生存质量。其药物及干预措施可直达病所,不良反应相对较少,用药安全且经济方便,在临床上已受到一定重视,但也存在一些问题:1由于外治法的多样性,如何针对患者病情和证型选择合适的外治法尚缺乏一定的规范;2外治法一般属人工操作,同一外治法不同操作者可能会出现治疗上的差异,如何减少这样的差异,建立并提高操作规范是必要的;3外治法治疗COPD的机制尚不明确,有待进一步深入研究。

External treatment of TCM on the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（ COPD） in clinical practice has bring about good curative effect,which can alleviate clinical symptoms,improve lung function,decrease the frequency of acute onset and thus improve the patients life quality. The drugs and interventions can function directly on patients with relatively few adverse reactions. At the same time,the drugs are safer,more economicd and convenient. However,there are also some problems： 1Due to the diversity of the treatment,suitable treatment still lack of certain specifications; 2 The treatment is generally manual operations,which operator may cause different effects. How to reduce such differences is necessary; 3 The treatment mechanism of treatment of COPD is unclear,which need further study.
