[0002] Neurological diseases, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and peripheral neuropathy, etc., seriously affect the quality of life of patients, and their treatment has always been a difficult and key point in the medical field. In the treatment of neurological diseases, traditional Western medicine mainly relies on methods such as drug intervention, physical therapy, and surgery. Although certain curative effects have been achieved, there are problems such as obvious drug side effects, high treatment costs, and difficulty in completely curing some diseases. In addition, long-term drug treatment may cause patients to develop drug resistance or drug dependence, further increasing the complexity of treatment.
