Overview of clinical research progress of TCM in children with upper airway cough syndrome
Upper airway cough syndrome is one of the main causes of children's chronic cough in China.Mod-ern physicians analyse and recognize this disease follow the theory of pathogen,emphasize the important role of wind,dampness,heat,phlegm and blood stasis in the incidence and development of this disease;or attach impor-tance to the interrelationships with zang-fu organs and orifices,and think that although the main location is in heart,it is not limited to the lung;or advocate the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentia-tion,and divide it into nasal and pharyngeal origin according to its primary disease.The treatment starts from dispel-ling the evil and supporting the positive.Doctors who focus on dispelling wind,resolving phlegm and activating blood circulation have different opinions on promoting lung,transporting the spleen and regulating the liver.The treatment is divided into nasopharyngeal and pharyngeal parts,and ancient and tested prescriptions such as Cangerzi San(苍耳子散),Liuwei Tang(六味汤),Xiaoqinglong Tang(小青龙汤),and Zhisou San(止嗽散)are skillfully used to modified in order to customize the treatment.The current literature available for this disease is mostly empiri-cal,and clinical research still lacks recognized standards of evidence,diagnosis and treatment.The specific imple-mentation of subjective assessment and measurement standards for cough and indicators for determining the efficacy of treatment is unclear and nonstandard.The overall research observation period of the study is also short.It is urgent to improve and enrich the Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment standard of children's upper airway cough syn-drome,develop and validate the Chinese version of cough subjective assessment questionnaire,and determine the corresponding clinical research standard.
