张道宗基于"四时皆有土"理论治疗青少年广泛性焦虑障碍经验撷英OA

Generalized anxiety disorder(GAD)in adolescents is a common chronic mental disorder with a rising in-cidence,seriously affecting their physical and mental health as well as academic development.While modern medical treatments have limitations such as drug dependency or adverse reactions,acupuncture therapy has garnered significant attention due to its safety,efficacy,and rapid onset of action.Professor ZHANG Daozong,a renowned national-level vet-eran Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)practitioner,has dedicated decades to the diagnosis and treatment of brain dis-orders.Drawing on the physiological characteristics of adolescents specifically that the"Liver is often in excess while the Spleen is often deficient",he innovatively applied the theory that"Earth Qi exists in all four seasons"to the acupuncture treatment of adolescent GAD.He proposed a core pathogenesis of"Earth deficiency and dampness stagnation leading to multi-visceral transmission"and constructed a tripartite treatment system that"tonifies the Spleen and Stomach,soothes the Liver and calms the Heart,and promotes Spleen function to eliminate dampness".This approach is supplemented by his pioneering"Tiaoshen Tongdu"technique,yielding remarkable clinical results.This article systematically reviews Pro-fessor ZHANG's academic insights,acupoint selection patterns,and operational techniques,and analyzes typical clinical cases,thereby offering valuable experience and reference for the clinical treatment of adolescent GAD.
