ABSTRACT

Vertigo is a common clinical disease with complex causes, and some patients are prone to recurrent attacks and emotional and sleep problems even after symptomatic treatment, which affect normal life and work. The body constitution theory analyzes the overall condition of a person and is of great significance for the treatment of vertigo. The body constitution of vertigo patients varies greatly, among which Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency constitute a large proportion of the body constitution of vertigo patients. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies between TCM constitution and vertigo, and we would like to review the relevant studies between them in the hope of providing new ideas and new solutions for the treatment of vertigo.
