基于肠道菌群-肠-脑相通理论探讨小儿推拿与脑性瘫痪的关系

Discussion on the Relationship Between Massage and Cerebral Palsy in Children based on the Theory of Intestinal Flora-intestine-brain Communication

小儿推拿作为传统中医外治疗法,是治疗脑瘫的常用康复手段。现代医学对脑-肠轴进行研究后发现,大脑和胃肠道通过神经、免疫、内分泌等进行复杂的双向调节,对肠道菌群的调节会影响中枢神经系统的功能。所以小儿推拿对肠道菌群的影响可能是改善脑瘫中枢神经系统的潜在机制。故文章基于肠道菌群-肠-脑相关的理论,尝试从传统医学和现代医学探讨推拿治疗脑瘫的作用机制,以期为小儿推拿治疗脑瘫的机制研究提供新思路。

Pediatric Tuina,as a traditional Chinese external treatment method,is a common rehabilitation method for the treatment of cerebral palsy.Modern medicine has studied the brain-gut axis and found that the brain and gastrointestinal tract carry out complex two-way regulation through nerves,immunity,endocrine,etc.The regulation of intestinal flora will affect the function of the central nervous system.Therefore,the effect of pediatric massage on the intestinal flora may be a potential mechanism for improving the central nervous system of cerebral palsy.Therefore,based on the theory of intestinal flora-intestines-brain,this article attempts to explore the mechanism of massage therapy for cerebral palsy from traditional medicine and modern medicine,in order to provide new ideas for the study of the mechanism of massage therapy for cerebral palsy in children.
