Diagnosis and Treatment of Symptom Overlap in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders based on the Theory of Regulating the Middle and Restoring Balance
Symptom overlap in functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) is frequetly occured, which increases the difficulty of clinical diagnosis and treatment. The theory of regulating the middle and restoring the balance is generated based on the inheritance of the spleen-stomach theory and unblocking and purging theory and on the accumulation of long-term clinical practice. According to this theory, the spleen and stomach dysfunction and the imbalance of
qi
movement are the core pathogenesis of FGIDs symptom overlap, and the treatment goal is to restore the dual ba-lance of
qi
movement and
zang
-
fu
(脏腑) organs function. The method of “unblocking the stomach with eight-principle pattern differentiation” is suggested; in terms of
zang-fu
principle, the combined regulation of multiple
zang
-
fu
organs is set as the focus; for
qi
-blood principle, it is critical to regulate
qi
and restore unblocking and purging; guided by the deficiency-excess principle, it is suggested to supplement deficiency and drain the excess; following the cold-heat principle, it is usually to regulate cold and heat with even methods. The theory of regulating the middle and restoring the balance has clear principles and makes it easier to be mastered, providing references for clinical diagnosis and treatment of FGIDs symptom overlap.
