中医外治法治疗咳嗽变异性哮喘的研究进展

Research Progress on External Chinese Medicine Therapies for Cough Variant Asthma

摘要: 咳嗽变异性哮喘(CVA)是一种特殊类型的哮喘，以咳嗽为主要或唯一表现。近年来，由于气候、环境等因素的影响，其发病率持续攀升，已成为引起慢性咳嗽最常见的原因。尽管西医常规治疗可以在短时间内缓解咳嗽症状，但是长时间使用激素类药物会显著增加药物依赖性和耐药性等不良反应的出现，导致临床疗效欠佳。随着中医学的不断进步和发展，中医外治法在治疗咳嗽变异性哮喘方面显示出独特的优势与显著的疗效。针灸推拿、拔罐、中药贴敷等方法不仅能够缓解咳嗽症状，在调整机体整体功能、增强免疫力方面也有着积极的作用。故文章总结归纳了临床上治疗咳嗽变异性哮喘所运用的中医外治法，旨在为后续的研究提供些许参考。

Abstract: Cough Variant Asthma (CVA) is a special type of asthma that has cough as the main or only symptom. In recent years, due to the influence of climate, environment, and other factors, the incidence of CVA has continued to rise. In fact, CVA has become the most common cause of chronic cough. Although the use of conventional Western medicine can relieve cough symptoms in a short period of time, long-term use of hormonal drugs can significantly increase the occurrence of adverse reactions such as drug dependence and drug resistance, resulting in poor clinical efficacy. With the continuous progress and development of traditional Chinese medicine, external treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine have shown unique advantages and significant efficacy in the treatment of cough variant asthma. Such as acupuncture, cupping, massage, and traditional Chinese medicine application, etc., these methods can not only relieve cough symptoms, but also have a positive effect on adjusting the overall function of the body and enhancing immunity. Therefore, this article summarizes the external treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine in the clinical treatment of CVA, aiming to provide some reference for subsequent research.
