It emphasizes comprehensive treatment. For each disease, the book first outlines the treatment principles and the effects of combining Chinese and Western medicine. The specific treatment methods are divided into four main parts: disease-oriented treatment, syndrome-oriented treatment, acupuncture, moxibustion, Tuina, and physical therapy, as well as reference treatment. It provides detailed information on the dosage, application methods, mechanisms of action, efficacy, adverse reactions, and precautions of the medications used (including Western medicine, Chinese patent medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine). Adding information on complications and comorbidities, as well as disease prognosis and preventive measures, is of great significance for reducing or preventing complications and comorbidities, accurately assessing prognosis and outcomes, and preventing recurrence. The book is concise and comprehensive, integrating both Chinese and Western medicine, equally emphasizing diagnosis and treatment, and highlighting practicality, clinical relevance, and both advancement and popularization. It maintains the traditional strength in diagnosing neurological diseases while fully leveraging the advantages of integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment. It addresses the current situation where some diseases lack or have inadequate treatment, which helps improve clinical efficacy, shorten the duration of illness, reduce patient suffering, lower disability rates, and restore or improve neurological function and quality of life. This book can serve as an important reference for students of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and Tuina, and medical programs, as well as clinical practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and neurology.
