Summary
This study found a new Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) prescription effective for Liver Yang Exuberance Syndrome (LYES), improving hypertension and other conditions. Laboratory tests confirmed significant symptom improvement and validated the TCM syndrome
Area of Science:
- Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
- Integrative Medicine
- Syndrome Differentiation
Context:
- Liver Yang Exuberance Syndrome (LYES) is a complex TCM pattern observed in hypertension, climacteric syndrome, and hyperthyroidism.
- Understanding the underlying mechanisms of LYES is crucial for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
- Existing treatments may not fully address the unique characteristics of LYES.
Purpose:
- To investigate the nature of Liver Yang Exuberance Syndrome (LYES).
- To evaluate the efficacy of a novel TCM prescription for LYES across multiple diseases.
- To explore the utility of laboratory tests in understanding LYES.
Summary:
- A clinical study involved 97 patients with LYES (hypertension, climacteric syndrome, hyperthyroidism) treated with a new TCM prescription.
- A control group of 83 patients with Yin Deficiency Yang Excess Syndrome (YDYES) was included for comparison.
- The new prescription demonstrated high total effective rates (81.4%-100%) and a significantly higher marked effective rate in hypertension compared to the control group (P<0.05).
- Laboratory tests, including autonomic nervous system function and various biochemical markers, showed parallel improvements with symptom resolution, aiding in comprehending LYES.
Impact:
- The study validates a new TCM prescription for effectively managing LYES across different conditions.
- It highlights the distinct characteristics of LYES within TCM.
- Laboratory findings provide objective evidence supporting the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment efficacy.
