This paper summarized YANG Wenming's experience in treating migraine with the methods of scattering wind and eliminating phlegm, dissolving stasis and unblocking the collaterals. It is believed that wind, phlegm, stasis are the main pathogenic factors of migraine, and the upper congestion of the seven orifices and the obstruction of the collaterals are the pathogenesis. Therefore,
Shutian Zhitong Decoction
(舒天止痛汤) is developed. As the static blood exists throughout the whole course of the migraine, insect-origin medicine is used to invigorate blood and expel stasis, unblock the collaterals and relieve pain; additionally, the regulation of the emotions, keeping reasonable diet and avoiding fatty and sweet products are advised to prevent from the repeated migraine attacks.
