Abstract：Limb numbness is a common sequela following stroke,and its persistence may significantly reduce patients'quality of life and increase psychological burden.Yang Baolin posits that post-stroke limb numbness results from deficiency or stagnation of nutrient,defense,Qi,and blood,leading to malnutrition of the skin and muscles,with the impairment of nutrient and defense as the key pathogenesis.Clinically,the basic treatment principle is to harmonize nutrient and defense.The modified Tongmai Heluo formula is applied to replenish the deficiency of nutrient and defense and unblock their stagnation,demonstrating significant efficacy in treating post-stroke limb numbness.
