疲劳本质的中西医研究进展

Research on the essence of fatigue in traditional Chinese and western medicine

疲劳是一种生理和工作能力下降的现象。现代医学多以运动性疲劳代指疲劳,中医并无明确的"疲劳"概念,多以"劳"称谓。疲劳可根据发生原因、产生部位等分为不同类别,如根据疲劳的性质,可分为生理性疲劳、心理性疲劳、病理性疲劳3类。实质上疲劳并非疾病,具有可逆性,过劳则会导致疾病发生。

Fatigue is a declining phenomenon of physiological and working ability. In modem medicine, sports fatigue refers to exercise fatigue, TCM does not have a clear concept of＂fatigue＂, mostly it is called by ＂Lao＂. Fatigue can be divided into different categories according to the causes of occurrence and the generating parts of body. In fact, fatigue is not disease, it is reversible and excessive fatigue will lead to disease.
