基于平衡升降法治疗癌因性疲乏OACSTPCD

Cancer-related fatigue(CRF)is a multidimensional sense of fatigue or exhaustion that affects physical,emotional,and cognitive functions.It is a common and debilitating symptom among cancer patients.In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),CRF is classified under the category of xulao(consumptive disease),attributed to deficiencies in qi,blood,yin,and yang.The theory of ascending and descending movements can be used to explain various phenomena in nature and bodily functions.According to this theory,the etiology and pathogenesis of CRF primarily include disharmony of qi and blood,stagnation of liver qi,dysfunction of the spleen and stomach,disharmony between the heart and kidneys,and accumulation of toxic pathogens due to cancer.Treating CRF requires balancing the ascending and descending movements,which involves harmonizing qi and blood to regulate yin and yang,soothing the liver to facilitate its functions and benefit qi movement,strengthening the spleen and stomach to restore proper ascending and descending movements,restoring interaction between the heart and kidneys to balance water and fire,and using anti-cancer and detoxifying therapies to address the pathogenic factors.This study explores the treatment approach for CRF based on the principle of balancing ascending and descending movements,supported by case studies.
