Based on the theories of "pathogenesis caused by constraint emotions" and "visceral orifices", it is believed that the pathogenesis of tinnitus caused by constraint syndrome follows the evolution pattern of "
qi
constraint (liver
qi
constraint) → fire disturbance (liver constraint transforming into fire) → deficiency impairment (liver constraint with spleen deficiency) → blood stasis (liver constraint leading to blood stasis)". The treatment is guided by the principle of integrated internal and external therapy with harmonization of both body and mind. Internally, the treatment focuses on rectifying

imbalances, primarily using the
Xiaoyao Powder
(逍遥散), with modifications based on syndrome differentiation. External therapies aim to unblock the meridians and orifices, commonly using auricular acupressure and Chinese herbal hot compresses. Additionally, traditional Chinese five-tone music therapy is
applied to regulate emotional and mental disturbances. By integrating these three approaches, a comprehensive treatment strategy is formed that harmonizes both body and mind for managing tinnitus associated with constraint syndrome.
