Midwest Medical Combined Treatment of Brain Infarction: What is the Chinese Medical Proficiency?

Summary: Brain infarction, a common and highly hazardous cerebrovascular disease, poses a great threat to the life and quality of life of patients. The combination of Western and Central medicine for the treatment of brain infarction has become a trend in which Chinese medicine has a unique advantage.

This paper will explore in depth the advantages of Chinese and Western medicine in combining treatment for brain infarction, including holistic attitudes, evidence-based treatment, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and the unique role of rehabilitation, to provide a more comprehensive view of the combination of brain infarction.

Introduction

Brain infarction, also known as ischaemic brain failure, is the result of brain blood supply disorders, and ischaemic death or softening of limited brain tissue due to ischaemic, oxygen deficiency. It is characterized by high morbidity, disability and mortality rates. As medicine continues to develop, the combined treatment of brain infarction has had significant results. Western medicine plays an important role in the acute phase of treatment, such as solution, condensation and decompression, but Chinese doctors also show an unnegligible advantage in the treatment of brain infarction, offering new hope for the rehabilitation of patients.

II. The Chinese doctor ‘ s knowledge of brain infarction

The Chinese doctor considers that the occurrence of brain infarction is closely related to such factors as lack of blood, bruises, and cynicism. The poor flow of human blood and the lack of a pulse cause brain infarction, resulting in inadequate blood support in the brain. This recognition underlines the importance of the overall balance within the human body and the flow of blood to brain health. The holistic concept of Chinese medicine and the philosophy of cognition provide a unique theoretical basis for the treatment of brain infarction.

III. Advantage of Chinese and Chinese doctors in combination with treatment of brain infarction

(i) A holistic perspective, integrated management

The Chinese doctor emphasizes the holistic view that the human body is an organic whole, with the interconnectedness and interaction of the various obscenities and experiences. When treating brain infarction, Chinese doctors are concerned not only with brain pathologies, but also with the whole body condition of the patient, such as physical, emotional and dietary conditions. For example, in cases of cerebral infarction due to hepatic depression and haemorrhage, Chinese doctors not only use active bruising to improve the blood circulation of the brain but also focus on adjusting the liver of the patient to achieve overall treatment. This holistic approach to treatment helps to improve the physical immunity of patients, to promote their self-rehabilitation and to create a good internal environment for the rehabilitation of brain infarction.

(ii) Probative treatment, individualized treatment

It is one of the core features of Chinese medicine. The state, body and symptoms of each brain infarction patient vary, and the Chinese doctor divides them into different types of evidence, such as hepatic hemorrhaging, hysteria, haematosis, etc., through a comprehensive analysis of the patient ‘ s symptoms, tongues, pulses, etc. Individualized treatment programmes are developed for different types of evidence. For example, in cases of hepatic vulcanization, treatment is used in cases of hepatic oxidation, and in cases of hypothalaic bruising, the main principle of treatment is in cases of aerobic and conjunctive bruising. This individualized treatment enables treatment to be more accurately tailored to the specific situation of the patient and improves its effectiveness.

(iii) Chinese drug treatment, multi-targeting

Chinese medicine plays an important role in the treatment of brain infarction. Many Chinese medicines have the effect of active haemoglobin bruises, tectonics and blood-breeding, which can improve the blood circulation of the brain and facilitate the repair and regeneration of nerve cells. For example, drugs such as kawakawa, red flowers and Dansin have the effect of active haematosis, which expands the blood vessels and increases the blood supply in the brain; yellow tungsten has the advantage of improving the patient ‘ s immunity and physical resistance; and insects such as dracing and aqueouss have the effect of communication and improving the nervous function. The multi-target mechanism of Chinese medicine enables it to perform a combination of therapeutic effects in the treatment of brain infarction, which not only relieves symptoms but also prevents complications and improves the quality of life of patients.

(iv) Acupuncture and recovery

Acupuncture and incubation are traditional specialty treatments in Chinese medicine, with a unique advantage in the rehabilitation of brain infarction. The acupuncture facilitates the recovery of nervous function by stimulating a specific lacuna and regulating the flow of human blood. For example, needles can improve the blood circulation of the brain, defusing body spasms and numbness by stinging caves, wind pools, curved pools, feet, and so forth. The push is carried out by hand massage, which promotes local blood circulation, relieves muscle stress and pain, and enhances the motor function of the body. During the period of rehabilitation for brain infarction, acupuncture is combined with rehabilitation training for Western medicine, which better promotes the functional rehabilitation of patients and improves their rehabilitation.

(v) Low side effects, good tolerance

The side effects of Chinese medicine are relatively small compared to Western medicine. In the treatment of brain infarction, a number of adverse effects may occur, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, hemorrhage, and damage to liver and kidney function. Most of the Chinese medicine, however, originates from natural plants, animals or minerals and is more secure after long-term clinical practice. The use of Chinese medicine, of course, also needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor, with a reasonable alignment to avoid adverse effects. The Chinese medicine is more resistant and suitable for long-term use in cases of old age and insufficiently functional liver and kidneys.

IV. Clinical case analysis

In order to better illustrate the advantages of a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for the treatment of brain infarction, a number of clinical cases are listed below.

Case I: Patient Zhang Kei, male, 65 years old, admitted to hospital due to sudden physical incapacities on the left side. Western medicine has diagnosed brain infarction and treats slurry, anticondensation, etc. At the same time, the Chinese medical doctor has identified the haemorrhage as a false blood certificate, and has provided treatment for acupuncture to Tonga and rehabilitation. After a period of treatment, the physical function of the patient has gradually been restored and there has been a marked improvement in speech skills. After being discharged from hospital, Chinese medicine continues to be administered, and after six months of visits, patients are able to take care of themselves.

Case II: Patient Li Xiao, female, 58 years old, suffering from basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, paralyse on the right side due to brain infarction and difficulty of swallowing. Western medicine provides such treatments as pressure relief, sugar relief and brain circulation improvement, while Chinese medicine uses acupuncture, Chinese fumigation, etc. After two months of treatment, the oscillation function of the patient has returned to normal, and there has been a marked improvement in the physical palsy and the ability to walk independently. These clinical cases show that combined treatment of brain infarction by western and central medicine can take full advantage of Chinese and western medicine, improve the effectiveness of treatment and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

Conclusions

In the light of the above, combined treatment of brain infarction is an effective method of treatment in which Chinese doctors have an important advantage. The holistic concept of Chinese medicine, evidence-based treatment, Chinese medicine, acupuncture therapy and the advantages of small side effects and tolerance offer new ideas and methods for the treatment of brain infarction. In clinical practice, a combination of treatments should be selected in accordance with the patient ‘ s specific circumstances, in order to improve the effectiveness of the treatment and the quality of life of the patient. At the same time, we need to further intensify our research on the treatment of brain infarction in Chinese medicine, and continue to explore new treatment methods and medicines to provide stronger support for the prevention and treatment of brain infarction.
