摘要:

抽动障碍是一种好发于儿童及青少年的慢性神经精神障碍性疾病,中医病位主要在肝、脾、脑,基本病机为“脑髓神机失调,肝脾疏泄失常”。基于“肠-肝-脑轴”理论,“肝脾疏泄失常”可对应现代医学的肠道菌群紊乱、肠道屏障损伤及肝脏代谢功能障碍,进而影响大脑神经免疫应答,导致“脑髓神机失调”。通过干预肠道菌群,减轻肝脏负担,下调炎症因子等途径调节大脑功能,可为抽动障碍治疗提供新靶点。中药方剂、针刺等中医治法可通过调节肠道微生态,减轻神经炎症改善抽动症状。基于“肠-肝-脑轴”理论,可为抽动障碍的临床治疗提供新的思路与方向。

Abstract:

Tic disorder is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder predominantly affecting children and adolescents. In traditional Chinese medicine, its pathogenesis is primarily located in the liver, spleen, and brain, with the core mechanism being "disharmony of brain marrow and spiritual mechanism, and dysfunction of liver-spleen conveyance and drainage." Based on the "gut-liver-brain axis" theory, "dysfunction of liver-spleen conveyance and drainage" corresponds to intestinal microbiota dysbiosis, intestinal barrier damage, and hepatic metabolic dysfunction in modern medical concepts, which subsequently influence neuroimmune responses in the brain, leading to "disharmony of brain marrow and spiritual mechanism" Modulating brain function through intervening the intestinal microbiota, reducing hepatic burden, and downregulating inflammatory factors offers new therapeutic targets for the treatment of tic disorder. Traditional Chinese medicine approaches, including herbal formulas and acupuncture, can ameliorate tic symptoms by regulating the intestinal microecology and mitigating neuroinflammation. The "gut-liver-brain axis" theory provides a novel perspective and direction for the clinical management of tic disorder.
