Diagnostics using Traditional Chinese medicine methods in Dr. Eber Brain Hospital

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostics at Dr. Eber Brain Hospital in Tianjin, China, provide a systemic evaluation of a patient's internal balance. These examinations typically run around $1,800 to $3,600. The primary advantage of this program is the evaluation by senior TCM physicians who have over 40 years of specialized practice.

The diagnostic process identifies organ imbalances through four classical methods. Physicians conduct a detailed interview and observe the patient's complexion, eyes, and body posture. This assessment includes an evaluation of the emotional state, sleep patterns, and digestion to understand the patient's constitution.

Diagnostic Methods and Assessment

• Pulse diagnosis. Physicians check 28 classic pulse qualities at the cun, guan, and chi positions on both wrists.
• Tongue diagnosis. The doctor examines the color, moisture, cracks, and coating of the tongue to detect internal changes.
• Syndrome differentiation. This step assigns a specific TCM diagnosis, such as wind-phlegm obstruction or kidney essence deficiency.
• Six-step diagnostic model. The process follows a sequence from constitution differentiation to prognosis differentiation.

Dr. Eber Brain Hospital is a tertiary-level facility and part of the Eber Medical Group. The clinic integrates TCM methods into its neurological programs, often conducting these assessments alongside Western medical tests. For patients in the epilepsy program, a senior physician performs the full TCM evaluation on the fourth day of their stay.

The results from these examinations guide the creation of individualized herbal and acupuncture plans. Patients receive a TCM diagnosis that complements their Western neurosurgical workup. You may request a consultation to learn more about these diagnostic options through Bookimed.
