昨天和長X醫院的醫師對話後,對於「食道弛緩不能症」的治療方式,更
增添了不同專家的見解。

1. 「賁門肌肉切開術」是否能根治病症?
因個人病症程度,有失敗的機率。

君萍96年開始,就發現有吞嚥困難的情形, 只是當時不以為意,想說應該是
工作壓力過大,心想只要放輕鬆,症狀應該可以改善。
等到97年後,吞嚥困難的症狀依舊沒有改善,因此君萍及家人們決定至台中
榮X檢查病因,做進一步的治療,但由於君萍罹患「食道弛緩不全症」Achalasia
,屬罕見病例,目前全球無藥物可以治療,醫師也無法找出確定病因。
Integration of Traditional and Scientific
Acupuncture in the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Conditions
Allen Schoen United States
Acupuncture (AP) has been used successfully in the treatment of many gastrointestinal conditions including vomiting and diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, and constipation. The NIH ?7 Consensus on AP for gastrointestinal conditions found that acupuncture was effective for peptic ulcers, diarrhea, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel disease. Acupuncture has been found to regulate gastric secretions, gastric motility, hormone, and neuropeptide release and metabolism.(1) Stimulation of Pericardium 6 (PC6) produced significant reduction of perioperative emetic sequelae. Electroacupuncture reduced morphine-induced emesis in ferrets with five minutes of stimulation of PC6 at 1.0 Hz. and 5.0 Hz (n=5/group).(2) Research on PC-6 includes 33 controlled trials published worldwide as of 1996 for use of PC-6 for nausea and vomiting, with 27/29 trials showing statistically significant positive results. From a Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) perspective, PC-6 (Nei-Guan), is considered the gate to the heart and lungs, calms the heart, and regulates Qi. It can be used to treat vomiting, gastritis, megaesophagus, behavioral problems, anxiety, and epilepsy.
ST-36 (Zusanli) has been found to have analgesic and spasmolytic effects on the GI tract, regulates gastric acidity, has a homeostatic effect in endocrine and metabolic disorders, and has been used to treat gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, impactions, and ileus. It has been found to increase plasma gastrin in rabbits and dogs. It is mediated by b-endorphins and somatostatin.(3)
