Abstract:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a common motor neurone disease in clinical practice, mostly in middle-aged and elderly people, with high disability rate and high mortality. Conventional treatment with western medicine can only delay the progression of the disease in most patients, with poor efficacy and more adverse reactions. The treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Professor Lu Fang, a Chinese medical master, has achieved a good effect. Based on the theoretical basis of “dampness-heat leads to atrophy syndrome”, Professor Lu Fang proposes that the core pathological factor of this disease is dampness and heat, and the core disease is located in the spleen, which mainly extends to the three viscera of lung, liver, and kidney. The treatment of “clearing dampness-heat, eliminating and dissipating” runs through the whole course of the disease. Professor Lu Fang takes self-made prescription of Qingjieyin as the basic prescription of the disease, combines with the disease location of the zang-fu viscera, taking into account both deficiency and excess, flexibly used specific specific drugs, and achieved good clinical effect. Case one is attached for proof.
