阴虚质失眠的理论与机制探析

Exploration on the theory and mechanism of insomnia with yin deficiency constitution

中医体质学认为,不同的体质对致病因子的易感性和疾病发病的倾向性不同。现代研究表明,阴虚质是失眠的主要体质类型之一,其也是衰老最相关体质类型之一。《黄帝内经》中阐述了营卫理论与睡眠的关系,营卫调和、脏腑调和是正常睡眠的保障。文章从营卫理论出发,结合脏腑学说,阐释阴虚质失眠的理论基础与机制,为从中医体质角度切入研究和预防阴虚质失眠、延缓衰老以及防治相关疾病提供研究思路,并为调体干预失眠打下基础。

The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitution theory posits that various constitution types exhibit distinct susceptibilities to pathogenic factors and distinct tendencies toward disease.Modern research reveals that yin deficiency constitution is a principal type of constitution associated with insomnia and aging.Inner Canon of Huangdi expounded on the correlation between the nutrient-defense theory and sleep,that normal sleep is contingent upon the harmony of nutrient and defense,as well as the reconciliation of the viscera and bowels.This study aims to explore the theoretical basis and mechanism of yin deficiency insomnia by incorporating the nutrient-defense theory and the theory of viscera and bowels.Additionally,the study provides research perspectives for investigating and preventing yin deficiency constitution insomnia,anti-aging,and preventing related diseases based on TCM constitution.This will lay the groundwork for the adjustment of constitutional factors in the treatment of insomnia.
