Study on the Correlation between TCM Constitution and Syndrome of Vertebrobasilar Artery Insufficiency Vertigo
Objective:To explore the distribution and correlation characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine constitution and syndromes of vertebral-basilar artery insufficiency vertigo(VBIV),and to provide a basis for syndrome differentiation and treatment.Methods:Through retrospective investigation,the TCM constitution,TCM symptoms,tongue appearance,pulse condition and other data of 60 patients with vertebral-basilar artery insufficiency vertigo were collected,and descriptive statistics were used to analyze their main symptoms,The distribution characteristics of tongue,pulse,syndrome factors and TCM constitution were analyzed.Results:(1)Among the 60 VBIV patients,the TCM constitution types were determined as:phlegm-dampness constitution>Yin deficiency constitution>blood stasis constitution>Qi deficiency constitution>Yang deficiency constitution.(2)Among the 60 VBIV patients,55(91.6%)had vertigo symptoms.Dizziness was the main symptom,followed by night sweats(40%),fever(30%),vomiting(30%),palpitations(32%),Headache(28%),forgetfulness(26%),dreaminess(24%),etc.(3)The TCM syndromes of VBIV ob-tained through the analysis of symptoms,tongue and pulse are mainly liver and kidney yin deficiency syndrome,phlegm obstruction syndrome,blood stasis blocking the orifices,Qi and blood deficiency syndrome,wind and phlegm distur-bance syndrome,etc.(4)The relationship between main constitution types and TCM syndromes:People with phlegm-dampness constitution are prone to phlegm-turbid obstruction syndrome(P<0.05)and wind-phlegm upper disturbance syndrome(P<0.05);those with Yin deficiency constitution are prone to liver-kidney Yin syndrome Deficiency syndrome(P<0.05);patients with blood stasis constitution are prone to blood stasis blocking the orifices(P<0.05);patients with Qi deficiency constitution are prone to Qi and blood deficiency syndrome(P<0.05).Conclusion:This study preliminarily clarified that there is a significant correlation between the constitution types and syndromes of VBIV patients,and pro-vides theoretical and practical basis for future research on VBIV from the aspects of TCM constitution and syndromes.
