Abstract:Tic disorders are frequently sent first to the department of ophthalmology for consultation because of their clinical characteristics. Chief physician Cheng Jinguo believes that tic disorders in children, especially chronic tic disorders, Tourette's syndrome, and chronic infantile convulsions have the same etiology and pathogenesis in Chinese medicine. All of these have the basic pathogenesis of spleen deficiency and hyperactivity of the liver-YANG; the formation of phlegm and respiration are the main pathological manifestations. Tic disorders and convulsions are the specific forms. At the same time, Cheng Jinguo believes that the treatment of tic disorders can also be used to treat chronic infantile convulsions, either treating with a custom formula to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, eliminating phlegm and calming respiration, or a flexible formula based on the pathogenesis to achieve good results. This article summarizes the clinical features of tic disorders and the experience of chief physician Cheng Jinguo in treating the disease.
