豨莶草治疗慢性疼痛研究进展

The treatment of pain with complementary and alternative medicine has gradually attracted international attention. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with clear composition and mechanism will become a new starting point for new drug research and development. Siegesbeckiae Herba is a commonly used TCM herb in the treatment of rheumatic arthralgia. With a clear chemical composition, Siegesbeckiae Herba has a long history of clinical application and a certain modern research basis in the treatment of chronic pain. It has good research and development prospects in the treatment of analgesia. Based on the occurrence principle of pain and the known mechanism of action of Siegesbeckiae Herba, we discussed the advance of studies on Siegesbeckiae Herba in three aspects, namely inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain and cancer pain, so as to provide reference for further basic research and development and application of new TCM.
