Research Progress on the Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease with Traditional Chinese Medicine

胃食管反流病(GERD)是常见消化系统疾病之一，临床表现为反酸、烧心、胸骨后疼痛等主要症状。现代医学治疗GERD以质子泵抑制剂(PPIs)等药物为主，虽短期效果明显，但长期使用易出现药物依赖、骨质疏松及肠道菌群失调等副作用。中医治疗GERD效果明确，历史悠久，目前主要包括中医内治法和中医外治法，中医内治法以汤药为主，中医外治法以针灸、推拿、艾灸等为主，文章将分别对其予以介绍，以为临床医者提供参考。Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the common digestive system diseases, with clinical manifestations mainly including acid reflux, heartburn, and retrosternal pain. Modern medicine mainly treats GERD with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and other drugs. Although the short-term effect is obvious, long-term use is prone to side effects such as drug dependence, osteoporosis, and intestinal flora imbalance. Traditional Chinese medicine has a definite effect on the treatment of GERD and has a long history. Currently, it mainly includes internal and external treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Internal treatment methods are mainly based on decoctions, while external treatment methods mainly include acupuncture, massage, and moxibustion. This article will introduce them and provide references for clinical practitioners.
