下肢动脉硬化闭塞症(atherosclerosis obliterans, ASO)是常见且发病率较高的一种周围血管疾病,静息痛症状严重影响了患者生存质量。西医止痛治疗有明显副作用和较高复发率,中医止痛发挥独特优势,运用中药汤剂疗法、耳穴疗法、针刺疗法、中医综合治疗等特色治法,可有效改善患肢血液循环,减轻疼痛程度,延缓病情进展。通过查阅近年来有关治疗ASO静息痛的文献报道进行整理,旨在探究中医治疗本病的临床疗效进展做一综述。Lower extremity atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) is a common peripheral vascular disease with a high incidence rate. The symptom of rest pain significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Western pain relief treatments for atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) often have significant side effects and a high recurrence rate. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers unique advantages in pain management. TCM therapies such as herbal decoctions, auricular therapy, acupuncture, and comprehensive TCM treatments can effectively improve blood circulation in the affected limbs, reduce the severity of pain, and slow down the progression of the disease. By reviewing recent literature on the treatment of rest pain in ASO, this study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the clinical efficacy of TCM in managing this condition.
