One of the most common global disorders is related to gastrointestinal system. Functional dyspepsia (FD) defined as upper abdominal pain and discomfort in the absence of organic ailments is a prevalent disease without any confirmed medication. The purpose of this study was to find gastric disorders which might be coincidental to FD based on traditional Persian medicine (TPM).
We searched the main textbooks of TPM including Al-Havi (by Rhazes), Canon of medicine (by Avicenna), ZakhireKhawrazmshahi (by Ismail Jorjani), Moalijat-e Aghili and Makhzan Al-adviya (by Mohammad Hosein AghiliShirazi), and ExirAzam (by Hakim Azam Khan). Also, we searched Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, Medline, scientific information database (SID), Iranmedex and Google Scholar from 1980 to 1 August 2014 for dyspepsia, gastrointestinal disease, traditional Persian medicine, and gastric dystemperaments.
There is no equivalent term for FD in traditional Persian medicine although similar signs and symptoms are visible in terms like simple cold dystemperament of stomach, indigestion, and digestion debility in TPM sources. Some treatments mentioned in TPM have shown promising results in the current experimental tests.
Finding these similarities in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) textbooks may lead to discovering new remedies for this widespread disease.
全球最常见的疾病之一与胃肠系统有关。功能性消化不良(FD)被定义为在没有器质性疾病的情况下出现上腹部疼痛和不适,是一种普遍存在的疾病,尚无任何经证实有效的药物。本研究的目的是基于传统波斯医学(TPM)找出可能与FD同时发生的胃部疾病。
我们检索了TPM的主要教科书,包括拉齐斯所著的《医学集成》、阿维森纳所著的《医典》、伊斯梅尔·乔尔贾尼所著的《海拉兹姆沙希药典》、莫阿利贾特 - 阿吉里以及穆罕默德·侯赛因·阿吉里·设拉子所著的《药物宝库》,还有哈基姆·阿扎姆·汗所著的《埃西尔·阿扎姆》。此外,我们还检索了1980年至2014年8月1日期间的PubMed、Scopus、Science Direct、Medline、科学信息数据库(SID)、伊朗医学数据库以及谷歌学术,以查找关于消化不良、胃肠疾病、传统波斯医学和胃部气质的文献。
在传统波斯医学中没有与FD完全对应的术语,尽管在TPM资料中诸如胃的单纯寒气质、消化不良和消化虚弱等术语中可见到类似的体征和症状。TPM中提到的一些治疗方法在当前的实验测试中已显示出有前景的结果。
在补充和替代医学(CAM)教科书中发现这些相似之处可能会为这种广泛存在的疾病发现新的治疗方法。
