  • Pancreatic fibrosis is the main irreversible pathological change during the progression of chronic pancreatitis, and at present, there is still a lack of effective drugs for the treatment of pancreatic fibrosis in clinical practice. This article summarizes the application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of pancreatic fibrosis in recent years from the aspects of clinical strategies and research advances. The TCM syndrome differentiation of pancreatic fibrosis involves the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and stomach, and pathological factors are associated with fire, blood stasis, and phlegm dampness. The research on the anti-pancreatic fibrosis effect of TCM extracts mainly involves spleen-strengthening, dampness-resolving, and blood stasis-resolving drugs, and intervention against the activation of pancreatic stellate cells is the main signaling pathway involved in the mechanism of TCM prescriptions in the treatment of pancreatic fibrosis. The above studies provide a reference for in-depth research on the application of TCM in the prevention and intervention of pancreatic fibrosis and the prevention and treatment of related complications.
