Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the common clinical diseases, characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is preventable and treatable. The airflow limitation is progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lungs to noxious particles or gases. Acute exacerbations and comorbidities affect the overall severity of the disease, which can further develop into common chronic conditions such as pulmonary heart disease and respiratory failure. The most common symptoms of COPD are dyspnea, chronic cough (sometimes with sputum), difficulty sleeping, and feeling tired. It is prone to complications such as respiratory failure, pulmonary heart disease, spontaneous pneumothorax, lung infections, depression, and anxiety. The main pathogenic factors of COPD are divided into environmental and host factors, including smoking, work habits, and constitutional weakness. Currently, the treatment options for COPD include Western medicine therapy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy. Western medicine treatment includes medication, assisted ventilation, long-term oxygen therapy, etc. TCM treatment is divided into internal and external therapies, while integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy combines both approaches. This article summarizes the relevant overview of the treatment of COPD with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, providing a reference for the prevention and treatment of this disease.
