Abstract：There are numerous types of brain diseases,and their clinical diagnosis and treatment encounter significant challenges,necessitating innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.Professor WANG Xinlu,a master of traditional Chinese medicine,proposed the theory of blood turbidity and applied it to the differentiation and treatment of brain diseases.He believes that the onset of brain diseases is related to internal injuries caused by the seven emotions,improper diet,and environmental pollution.The main patho-genesis is that turbid blood damages the marrow and the brain orifices are deprived of nourishment.He also proposed the treatment principles of clearing blood turbidity,nourishing the brain,and filling the marrow.At the same time,he emphasized the prevention before illness and the flexible use of supporting drugs.Currently,guided by this theory,the treatments of brain diseases through the internal administration of traditional Chinese medicine and the combination of acupuncture and medicine have achieved notably significant therapeutic effects,and research into the underlying mechanisms is ongoing.This article sorts out the pertinent literature on blood turbidity and reviews the recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases,including ischemic stroke,vascular dementia,cerebral small vessel disease,migraine,and epilepsy,from the perspective of blood turbidity theory.The aim is to provide a valuable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases using traditional Chinese medicine.There are 46 references.
