Exploring the construction of a diagnosis and treatment system for impediment syndrome based on the theory of the spleen acting as defense and its clinical application

Key Points

• The research aims to elucidate the spleen's central role in impediment syndrome and develop a corresponding diagnosis and treatment system.
• Developed a dynamic imbalance model named 'spleen-defense-impediment'.
• Investigated the pathological mechanisms underlying impediment syndrome.
• Proposed integration of therapeutic methods focusing on strengthening the spleen and correcting vitality.
• Evaluated the effectiveness of therapies on symptoms like joint swelling, morning stiffness, and dryness.
• The treatment significantly reduced joint swelling and improved mobility.
• Therapies alleviated morning stiffness and dryness in the mouth and eyes.
• The proposed model and methods clarified the interrelation of spleen function and impediment syndrome.
