Abstract

Professor YANG Ji-guo's clinical experience in treatment of functional gastrointestinal diseases was summerized. Professor YANG Ji-guo believes that this disease is caused by the deficiency of six fu organs. Dysfunction of six fu organs in descending transportation is the basic pathogenesis. The principle of acupoint selection includes benefiting gastrointestinal functions, unblocking and purging six fu, soothing liver qi and calming down the mind. In treatment, acupuncture is combined with umbilicus moxibustion. In acupuncture, the deqi promoting technique by rotating and trembling needle is adopted. Focusing on the deficiency of six fu organs, umbilicus moxibustion is adopted to benefit the spleen and stomach and harmonize the functions of six fu organs for both biao (symptoms) and ben (root cause).

总结杨继国教授治疗功能性胃肠病的临床经验。杨继国教授认为本病多因六腑虚弱所致,六腑通降失调是其基本病机,以补益肠胃、通降六腑、疏肝安神为选穴原则,运用针刺与脐灸联合治疗。针刺以捻转震颤催气手法为主,脐灸针对六腑虚弱,补脾益胃,调和六腑,标本兼治。.
