Exploration on the six meridians in the treatment of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia(COP)is a type of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia with uncertain etiology and pathogenesis.The treatment of COP in modern medicine often involves glucocorticoid intervention,which lacks definitive efficacy and poses risks of adverse reactions.This article is based on the theory of syndrome-differentiation of the six meridians and combines the visceral manifestations and transformation laws of COP.By categorizing symptoms according to meridians,corresponding treatment principles and prescriptions are proposed.A clinical case is also cited to provide a new perspective for the treatment of COP.
