Exploring Traditional Chinese Medicine for Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: A Narrative Review.
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is both a single syndrome and a manifestation of other mental illnesses. Antidepressant drugs not only have no therapeutic effect but also aggravate or trigger self-injurious behavior in adolescents, making their treatment difficult.
Primary study objective: To explore Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) based approaches (alone or in combination with Western medicine) to treat and manage NSSI, and evaluate its prospects as an effective alternative treatment.
Methods/design: The study is a narrative review. The Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG, and Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) in the Chinese database, and the PubMed database in English were searched for relevant studies. The retrieval words were non-suicidal self-injury and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The retrieval relationship is OR/AND. Studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Setting: The study was carried out in Zhejiang Provincial Mental Health Center.
Participants: The subjects of the studies included in this narrative review.
Intervention: TCM-based diagnostic and treatment approaches.
Primary outcome measures: To assess the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical syndrome of NSSI within the scope of TCM.
Results: NSSI is considered an emotion-thought disorder. The TCM-based approach encompasses the study of the clinical syndrome of NSSI, including the use of animal models of NSSI, diagnosis of the syndrome using an appropriate evaluation scale, and treatment using TCM-based therapeutics.
Conclusion: The study methods of TCM for NSSI have been proposed. According to the principles of TCM, NSSI belongs to the "Depression" syndrome. The incorporation of TCM in diagnosing and treating NSSI can improve the outcomes.
Keywords: Integrative medicine; Mental illness; Narrative review; Non-suicidal self-injury; Traditional Chinese medicine.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
