Is high paraplegia the same as spinal cord injury?

Do not eat spoiled spoilage.

It is recommended to have a reasonable and nutritious diet and not be picky and picky.

If the condition is serious, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

High paraplegia refers to paralysis caused by high spinal cord injury, which generally occurs above the second thoracic vertebrae, and the patient will have quadriplegia, poor prognosis, complete loss of self-care ability, loss of limb sensation, loss of nerve reflexes, and loss of voluntary response to urination and defecation, which has brought serious harm to patients and families. Some patients with high paraplegia with spinal cord injury can recover, but patients with irreversible neurologic impairment generally cannot recover.

High paraplegia is a serious sequelae of spinal cord injury, the spinal cord is an important central nervous system, spinal cord injury will cause neurological dysfunction below the level of injury, including sensory impairment, motor impairment and temperature sensory failure, etc., the recovery of spinal cord injury high paraplegia and the degree of recovery of neurological damage are directly related, for patients with severe irreversible nerve injury, there is little hope of recovery.

Patients with cervical spinal cord injury and incomplete high paraplegia can effectively correct ischemic degeneration and damaged nerve necrosis, and it is possible to recover. In the early stages of injury, surgery** can relieve compression and obstruction, restore the normal physiological state of the spinal canal at the injured site, but the damaged spinal nerve is still in a state of shock, if it is only the spinal cord**, its nerve function can be restored in a short time, if the damaged nerve is long and secondary to ischemic degeneration, the recovery of nerve function is basically hopeless.

Cervical spinal cord injury combined with complete high paraplegia and spinal cord transection patients are very serious, the primary consideration of clinical ** is to maintain the continued operation of the patient's core vital system function, generally speaking, the higher the cross-section of the injury, the greater the risk, and in severe cases, it even directly leads to the failure of the respiratory and circulatory system, which is seriously life-threatening, in this case, the possibility of recovery of the damaged spinal cord function is relatively low, and the first consideration is to maintain the patient's survival.

The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can be used to enhance the blood circulation of the spinal cord, so that the damaged nerves can get enough blood**, and supplemented by Western medicine**, can obtain a certain recovery effect, can regenerate spinal nerves, activate the nerves of damaged paralytic shock, restore damaged nerve function, can improve some of the nerve function of high paraplegic patients, but, no matter which method, its effect is limited.

It can be seen that for patients with high paraplegia with spinal cord injury, some neurological injuries are not serious, and it is possible to restore part of the neurological function after surgery for patients with significant surgical results, but most of the patients' conditions are relatively serious, and there is irreversible neurological damage.

The self-recovery rate will not exceed five percent. Moreover, it is an exercise to reduce comorbidities that incompetent doctors restore damaged spinal cord nerves after Western medicine surgery. It is not of much help to restore the damaged nerve (and will delay the time of **** and delay the recovery of ischemic neurodegeneration necrosis and lead to terminal disability).

Only by properly regenerating and repairing the damaged spinal cord can the nerves be restored to innervate and regulate various functions such as movement and stool. And **time is very limited, there is only one opportunity, delay**and**inappropriate, the damaged spinal cord will be degenerative and necrotic due to too long ischemia, and the residual symptoms will be accompanied for life. High paraplegia is due to the lack of conduction, and the early pathological changes after the spinal cord is re-damaged, cramps, stiffness, etc.

**Scheme 1: Use traditional Chinese medicine to enhance and improve spinal cord blood circulation, so that the damaged nerves can get sufficient blood supply. 2. Combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to nutrition nerves. 3. And excite and activate the nerves that are paralyzed and shocked after the damage, so that the damaged nerves can be regenerated and repaired, so that the functions of the second stool and movement can be optimally restored.

4. Reasonable exercise design and bladder training guidance. Hint, time is limited, and there is only one chance. You need help to send a pre- and post-operative magnetic resonance** to guide you.

The degree of spinal cord injury is not the same as the recovery, there is no exact law, spinal cord injury combined with high paraplegia, whether it can recover before spinal cord ischemia and necrosis, its ** is generally divided into three stages, the longest ** period of two years or more than 5 100 per month to reduce the recovery rate. If it is a complete spinal cord injury, after the ** period, the damaged nerve will be delayed in ischemic necrosis, and it is irreversible for the gods to descend to earth. Help is needed to provide a complete medical history and examination information for guidance.

The probability is not large, but the country is studying spinal cord regeneration and repair methods, which can still be achieved in the future, and help patients move their bodies more to prevent muscle atrophy and degeneration.

If the spinal cord injury is severe, it can easily lead to paraplegia. Because the spinal nerves are the central nervous system. Once injured, it can damage the nerves that control the lower limbs, resulting in significant dysfunction or even complete loss of function.

If the condition is severe, it can lead to paralysis, loss of motor and sensory function, and urinary incontinence. If the injury is not very severe, there will be no symptoms of muscle weakness in the lower extremities.

Different injuries can lead to different consequences, if the injury is in the cervical spine, high paraplegia can occur, even life-threatening, and lumbar or thoracic spine injuries can lead to paraplegia.

Because the spinal cord is dominated by nerves, if the nerves are damaged excessively, there is a risk of paralysis.

As an important conduction medium of the brain, the spinal cord is damaged and the connection between the brain and the body's tissues and organs is interrupted. If the instructions of the brain cannot reach the muscle tissue and internal organs through the transmission of the spinal cord, it will lead to the weakening and decline of its function, which can cause different degrees of paralysis.

Severe will definitely lead to paraplegia.

Wenzhou was founded. The most critical time to recover from a spinal cord injury is 3 to 6 months after injury, especially within 3 months after injury, so management and function of the underlying disorder should be strengthened during this stage** and exercise. After 6 months, although some neurological functions still have the opportunity to be remodeled and repaired, the likelihood of complete recovery of spinal cord and nerve function gradually decreases as glial scars form.

After 6 months, the focus is on the prevention and treatment of various morbidities after spinal cord injury, such as respiratory failure, urinary tract infection, pneumonia and pressure ulcers.

There are still some ** patients with high paraplegia, but the probability is relatively small, and it is mainly determined by the degree of injury.

In some patients, there may be a transient injury, and spinal shock may occur at that time, but most of these patients can still be repaired.

However, if the nerve has been substantially damaged, it is indeed difficult to completely return to normal, the main nerve is too delicate, and it is more difficult to recover once the injury is damaged, but what we can do is to actively create conditions for nerve recovery, and it is really difficult to say to what extent.

First of all, it is necessary to actively carry out surgery to relieve the compression of nerve damage, and after surgery, it is necessary to actively use drugs**, which can generally be early hormone shock**, and then apply some dehydrating drugs and nutritional nerve drugs**, which can also be combined with hyperbaric oxygen**, acupuncture, moving joints and muscles to create conditions for nerve recovery.

1. Adjust your mentality and face it bravely.

I believe that all patients with spinal cord injury have no way to accept it after learning that they are high paraplegics. Since it has happened, we must face it bravely, if we choose to be sad and escape, there is no way to solve the problem, and a long-term bad attitude is also not good for physical health. Therefore, paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury must first adjust their mentality and face this reality bravely.

2. Drugs**.

Patients with high paraplegia with spinal cord injury need to adhere to medications**, mainly drugs that nourish the nerves, and must not be interrupted at will**.

3. Carry out muscle function exercises.

Because patients with high paraplegia with spinal cord injury need to stay in bed for a long time and cannot move, this can lead to a variety of complications, such as bedsores, joint spasms, deep vein thrombosis, muscle atrophy, and so on. The patient's family should help the patient to do more muscle function exercises to prevent the occurrence of these complications, and can develop an exercise plan to help the patient carry out activities when the time comes, and the effect of persistence is still very good.

4. Carry out ** training.

Patients with high paraplegia with spinal cord injury should not give up easily, and insisting on doing ** training is effective. If the patient's upper limbs are strong, they can exercise their upper limbs more, and then walk with the help of a walker, so that they can take care of themselves as much as possible, and can also reduce the burden on their families.

The best way to treat high paraplegia with spinal cord injury? Whether high paraplegia can recover from spinal cord injury must be preceded by ischemic degeneration and necrosis of the damaged nerve, and in the early stage of the disease, Western medicine surgery only restored the diameter of the spinal canal to avoid re-damage to the nerve, resulting in aggravation of the disease, but the damaged nerve is still in a state of paralytic shock and cannot be recovered. If the damaged nerve is secondary to ischemic degeneration due to too much time, there is no hope of recovery, and spastic paraplegia and severe amyotrophy may occur.

First of all, it needs to be explained that the nerves are very delicate, and it is difficult to recover in the later stage once they are injured, especially for patients who have been paraplegic due to complete paralysis, and the possibility of later recovery is not very large.

But what we can do is try to create conditions for the recovery of the nerves, and it is really hard to say to what extent. Generally, it is proportional to the degree of damage at the time, and the more severe the injury, the more difficult it is to recover.

It is necessary to actively relieve the compression of the spinal nerves, need a large dose of hormones to impact**, need to apply some dehydrating agents, apply nutritional nerve drugs to promote nerve recovery, and cooperate with hyperbaric oxygen ** or with some physiotherapy, such as acupuncture, baking electricity can also play a role in promoting nerve recovery.

Then there is the need to move the joints and muscles to prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.

Recovery from paralysis after spinal cord injury is closely related to the location and severity of the injury. In general, the higher the location of the injury, the more difficult it is to recover and the worse the prognosis.

Cervical injury of the spinal cord may lead to quadriplegia, while thoracic paraplegia may only be immobile of the lower limbs, and compared with the two, it is definitely more difficult to recover from a cervical injury and the prognosis is worse. The more severe the injury, the worse the prognosis. According to current statistics, if it is an incomplete injury, 50% of patients can recover the muscle strength of the lower limbs to level 3 or above, that is, they can basically complete daily activities.

In paraplegic patients with complete injury, the chance is less than 1%, so recovery from paralysis in patients with spinal cord injury is mainly closely related to their condition. At the same time, it is important to remind everyone that under the current medical conditions and medical technology, most patients with spinal cord injury cannot fully recover from their motor and sensory impairments.

The goal is that although the patient has a physical disability, he can participate in family and social life and become a disabled person, which is the so-called comprehensive **.

If you suffer from syringomyelia, once the lesion develops and damages the pyramidal tract and extrapyramidal tract, the lower limbs gradually appear spastic paralysis, and the pyramidal tract signs of both lower limbs are positive, when one side of the cervical spinal cord is damaged, the descending sympathetic fibers are destroyed, and hornor syndrome can appear on the same side, and the more common autonomic disorders include **nutritional disorders such as**keratosis, hair loss, vasosiologic disorders, etc.

Syringomyelia can be complicated by congenital malformations, such as occult spina bifida, cervic-occipital deformity, scoliosis, posterior process malformation, cerebellar tonsillar herniation, cavus foot and other diseases. In the later stage of syringomyelia, the nucleus of the trigeminal nerve spinal tract may be involved, and the onion skin-like pain and temperature sensation of the face may be affected, and the suspected nucleus may be involved, causing dysphagia and choking on water; involvement of the hypoglossal nerve nucleus extensor muscles and fasciculations; vestigocerebellar pathway involvement, nystagmus and gait are stable; develops from the outside to the nasolabial; Peripheral facial paralysis occurs when the facial nerve nucleus is involved.

1.Sensory symptoms According to the cavity located in the cervical and upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord, biased to one side or located in **, there is a unilateral upper limb and upper thoracic segmental **sensory disorder, often characterized by segmental dissociative **sensory disorder, pain, decreased or absent temperature sensation, deep sensation exists, the symptom can also be bilateral.

2.Motor symptoms Cervical and thoracic cavities affect the anterior horn of the spinal cord, and flaccid partial paralysis of one or both upper limbs appears, manifested as muscle weakness and decreased muscle tone, especially in the thenar muscles of the two Bipei hands, interosseous muscle atrophy is the most obvious, and in severe cases, claw-shaped hand deformity is presented, and when the lower root of the trigeminal nerve is affected, ipsilateral facial sensation is mostly central pain, temperature perception disorder, facial dissociation ** loss of sensation forms the so-called "onion-like distribution", accompanied by weak masticatory muscles, if the vestibulocerebellar tract is involved, the hand model can only appear dizziness and nausea, vomiting, gait instability, nystagmus, and partial paralysis of upper motor elements in one or both lower limbs, hypertonia, loss of abdominal wall reflexes, and positive Babinski sign, and paralysis is more aggravated in advanced cases.

3.Autonomic Nerve Damage Symptoms Cavitation involves the sympathetic nerve spinal cord center in the lateral horns of the spinal cord (cervical 8 cervical cord and thoracic 1 thoracic cord), Horner syndrome appears, the lesion damages the corresponding segments, limbs and trunk ** may have abnormal secretion, hyperhidrosis or hypohidrosis is the only sign of abnormal secretion, hypohidrosis can be confined to one side of the body, called "hemihypohidrosis", and more common in one side of the upper body, or one side of the upper limb or half of the face, usually the corneal reflex can also be weakened or disappeared, Because neurotrophic keratitis can lead to bilateral corneal perforation, another bizarre phenomenon of sweating is increased sweating after cold, accompanied by a decrease in temperature, hyperkeratinization of the fingers and nails, atrophy, loss of luster, due to pain, loss of temperature sensation, easy to burn and touch, trauma, advanced patients have urinary disorders and recurrent urinary tract infections.
