基于“形神一体观”论治癌症相关性疲乏.

The “holism of physique and spirit” is a view of life in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) that emerged from the influence of the ancient Chinese philosophy of the correlation between the physique and spirit. The physique is the carrier of human physiological and pathological activities, while the spirit is human consciousness, thoughts, emotions and other spiritual activities. Qi is the material basis of the spirit and also the bridge between the physique and spirit. Scholars often refer to the “holism of physique and spirit” as the “ holistic view of physique, qi and spirit”. This article focuses on the concept of “holism of physique and spirit” and elaborates on its role and clinical applications in the occurrence and development of cancer-related fatigue. The physique and spirit are mutually dependent, and the strength of the physique determines the strength of the spirit. The “spirit failing to function” is an important factor in the onset of cancer-related fatigue and the pathological basis for its development. The treatment of cancer-related fatigue should adhere to the principle of a “holistic view of physique, qi and spirit” and use appropriate method to regulate the five zang-organs, with tonification as the main method; and regulate the five spirits, together with comprehensive intervention; and the key to the treatment is supplementing qi, with consideration of appropriate dispersion. The combination of syndrome differentiation and treatment with non-pharmacological therapies, such as acupuncture and moxibustion, gongfu and psychological care aims to treat both the symptoms and the root cause and to harmonize the physique. Furthermore, it helps patients return to a state of “physique and spirit together” and to provide new ideas for the treatment of cancer-related fatigue in TCM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
