Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the characteristics of multi-channel, multi-target, holistic treatment and treating both the symptoms and root causes of neurological diseases. 2. Diagnosis and treatment scope: Acute stroke: Under the initiative of our department, the hospital has established a multidisciplinary stroke center. For patients with acute cerebral infarction within 3-6 hours of onset, intravenous thrombolysis is used. Cerebral angiography is used to perform arterial dilation or stent implantation on the stenotic parts of intracranial and intracranial blood vessels. Minimally invasive intracranial hematoma surgery and aneurysm occlusion are used to treat acute and subacute hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases.At the same time, our department carries out early prevention and rehabilitation treatment in neurology, giving full play to the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. Taking the identification of traditional Chinese medicine constitution as the entry point, we adopt the diagnosis and treatment method of combining traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to regulate physical differences and prevent the occurrence and development of stroke. The combination of theory and practice greatly improves the therapeutic effect of stroke. Headache, dizziness and psychosomatic disorders: After years of efforts, our department has adopted a combination of psychological evaluation and syndrome differentiation analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, and has formed a relatively complete set of diagnosis and treatment plans of traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in this field. Brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease and myasthenia gravis: Our department is based on traditional Chinese medicine decoction treatment, combined with appropriate Chinese medicine techniques such as acupuncture, auricular acupoints, and hot steamed buns, as well as modern rehabilitation, functional training and other methods as treatment methods. According to each patient's physical type, treatment based on syndrome differentiation and reasonable selection The method is a multi-faceted and multi-channel comprehensive treatment that promotes the recovery of patients' limb movements, feelings and other physiological functions, improves the patient's ability to take care of themselves, improves the patient's quality of life, prevents the recurrence or aggravation of encephalopathy, reduces the financial burden on the patient's family, and has significant clinical effects.
