太阳病出现项部僵硬。无汗，脉象浮紧的，用麻黄汤；有汗，脉象浮缓的，用桂枝汤。痉病表现为独自摇头，突然牙关紧闭，项部僵硬，用小续命汤。结胸证出现项部僵硬，症状类似柔痉，使用泻下法后病情可缓解，用大陷胸丸。
体内有痛症则摇头，这是里证的表现。风痉病则独自摇头。心气绝则头部摇动，面色像烟煤一样黑，眼睛直视不动的预后不良。风邪主司摇动，所以头摇多属于风邪致病，风邪致病的脉象必定是弦脉。（可用神术汤加入天麻、羌活、防风、僵蚕）
眩是指头晕眼花，这是因为发汗、催吐、泻下之后上焦虚弱所致。少阳经的病窍在目，且位于表里之间，表邪逐渐入里，导致表中阳气虚，所以出现目眩。如果发汗过多，出现言语错乱、目眩的，预后不良（死）。
太阳病经过发汗、催吐、泻下治疗后，表里俱虚，必然出现眩晕昏冒，用真武汤加入川芎、天麻。太阳病发汗后病未解，出现心下悸动、头晕、肌肉跳动、身体震颤欲倒仆地，用真武汤加入川芎、天麻。阳明病出现头晕，不恶寒，能进食但咳嗽，用茯苓白术甘草生姜汤加入川芎、天麻。少阳病出现目眩、头晕，脉象弦数，用小柴胡汤加入川芎、天麻。兼夹血虚的，用四物芎麻汤。兼夹痰火的，加酒黄连、竹沥。兼夹气虚的，用补中益气汤加入川芎、天麻。少阴病利止后，出现头晕、时常昏冒的预后不良（死）。
身体疼痛是六经都有的症状，分为表里、寒热、风湿等不同情况。太阳病适宜发汗；发汗后脉象沉迟的，适宜温中；[阳明热盛]者宜用白虎汤；里寒外热的，适宜先救里而后攻表；寒邪在三阴经的，脉象沉；风邪在三阳经的，脉象浮；中湿邪的，身体沉重疼痛，不能转侧；阴毒证的，身体剧烈疼痛，宛如被棍棒打过一样。
太阳病身体疼痛，无汗，恶寒，脉象浮紧，用麻黄汤。身体疼痛，有汗，恶风，脉象浮缓，用桂枝汤。少阴病身体疼痛，呕吐腹泻，四肢冰冷，用四逆汤。四肢厥冷，下利，身体疼痛宛如被棍棒打过，呕吐逆气，用茱萸四逆汤。全身尽痛，发热，面黄，热邪结聚在里，小便通利，大便闭塞，这是蓄血证（轻则用犀角地黄汤，重则用桃仁承气汤）。风湿病全身尽痛，身体沉重不能转侧，小便不利，用五苓散加入苍术、羌活。霍乱病身体疼痛，脉象沉，用桂枝汤。表里俱寒，下利清谷，身体疼痛，先救里（用四逆汤），后救表（用桂枝汤）。
Taiyang (Greater Yang) disease presents with stiffness of the neck. If there is no sweating and the pulse is floating and tight, Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is indicated; if there is sweating and the pulse is floating and slow, Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated. Jing syndrome (Spasm disorder) manifests as independent head shaking, sudden lockjaw, and neck stiffness, treated with Xiao Xu Ming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction). Jie Xiong syndrome (Chest Binding syndrome) presents with neck stiffness, resembling Rou Jing (Soft Spasm); after purgation, the condition harmonizes, treated with Da Xian Xiong Wan (Major Chest-Binding Pill).
Internal pain causes head shaking, which is a manifestation of Interior syndrome. Feng Jing (Wind Spasm) causes independent head shaking. When Heart Qi is exhausted, the head shakes, the complexion is dark like soot, and fixed staring indicates death. Wind pathogen governs movement; thus, head shaking mostly belongs to Wind. The pulse for Wind must be Xian (Wiry). (Shen Shu Tang (Divine Efficacy Art Decoction) can be modified with Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome), Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Rhizome), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root), and Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus)).
Xuan (Dizziness) refers to vertigo and blurred vision, caused by deficiency in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner) after sweating, vomiting, or purging. Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) opens into the eyes and resides between Exterior and Interior; as Exterior pathogens gradually enter the Interior, Yang deficiency in the Exterior leads to visual dizziness. If excessive sweating leads to delirious speech and dizziness, it indicates death.
After Taiyang disease has been treated with sweating, vomiting, or purging, both Exterior and Interior are deficient, inevitably leading to vertigo and faintness, treated with Zhen Wu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) modified with Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) and Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome). If Taiyang disease persists after sweating, presenting with palpitations in the epigastrium, dizziness, muscle twitching, and body tremors threatening to fall, treat with Zhen Wu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) modified with Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) and Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome). Yangming (Yang Brightness) disease presents with dizziness, aversion to cold absent, ability to eat but with cough, treated with Fu Ling Bai Zhu Gan Cao Sheng Jiang Tang (Poria, Atractylodes, Licorice, and Fresh Ginger Decoction) modified with Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) and Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome). Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) disease presents with visual dizziness and vertigo, with a Xian (Wiry) and rapid pulse, treated with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) modified with Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) and Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome). Cases complicated by Blood deficiency use Si Wu Chuan Ma Tang (Four Substances, Ligusticum, and Gastrodia Decoction). Cases complicated by Phlegm-Fire add Jiu Huang Qin (Wine-processed Scutellaria Root) and Zhu Li (Bamboo Sap). Cases complicated by Qi deficiency use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) modified with Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) and Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome). In Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) disease, if diarrhea stops but dizziness and frequent faintness occur, it indicates death.
Body pain is a symptom present in all six meridians, differentiated into Exterior/Interior, Cold/Heat, and Wind-Damp. For Taiyang (Greater Yang), sweating is appropriate; if the pulse becomes Chen Chi (Deep and Slow) after sweating, warming the Interior is appropriate; [for Yangming Heat], Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) is appropriate; for Interior Cold with Exterior Heat, rescue the Interior first then attack the Exterior; for Cold in the Three Yin meridians, the pulse is Deep; for Wind in the Three Yang meridians, the pulse is Floating; for Dampness invasion, the body is heavy and painful, unable to turn; for Yin Du (Yin Toxin), the body suffers severe pain as if beaten by a club.
Taiyang (Greater Yang) disease with body pain, no sweating, aversion to cold, and a Floating Tight pulse is treated with Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). Body pain with sweating, aversion to wind, and a Floating Slow pulse is treated with Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) disease with body pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and cold limbs is treated with Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction). Cold extremities, diarrhea, body pain as if beaten by a club, and vomiting/reversal are treated with Zhu Yu Si Ni Tang (Cornus Frigid Extremities Decoction). Whole-body pain, fever, yellow complexion, heat binding in the Interior, free urination, and constipation indicate Blood Stasis (Xue Yu) (Mild cases: Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction); Severe cases: Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang (Peach Kernel and Order the Qi Decoction)). Wind-Damp causing whole-body pain, heaviness, inability to turn, and difficult urination is treated with Wu Ling San (Five Ingredient Powder with Poria) modified with Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) and Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Rhizome). Huo Luan (Cholera-like disorder) with body pain and a Deep pulse is treated with Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). Exterior and Interior both Cold, with clear undigested stool diarrhea, and body pain requires rescuing the Interior first (Si Ni Tang / Frigid Extremities Decoction) then rescuing the Exterior (Gui Zhi Tang / Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
