What to do with neuromuscular atrophy, symptoms of neuromuscular atrophy

1. Neuromuscular atrophy patients must ensure protein nutrition, because protein is the main raw material for muscle tissue. Nutritionists advocate eating more fish and less red meat.

2. Zinc needs to be sufficient to maintain an appropriate level of zinc concentration. Growth hormone, synthesized by the pituitary gland, can be significantly more potent if it can be combined with zinc in a 1 to 1 ratio in a timely manner. In addition, zinc-containing enzymes promote the synthesis of muscle proteins.

Therefore, zinc supplementation should be used to maintain high levels of zinc concentrations.

3. Exercise: The preventive measure for patients with neuromuscular atrophy is to choose appropriate exercise items according to their age and physical condition, and do aerobic exercise. The musculature of the human body, like other tissues and organs, is constantly metabolizing all the time.

The metabolism of muscle tissue in the elderly is characterized by the fact that it has developed into a negative balance, that is, there is less new growth than it is lost, and it worsens with age. The purpose of exercise is to slow down the development of negative balance.

Immediately after each exercise, lie down or sit down to rest for about 1 hour. Growth hormone is indispensable for muscle regeneration. Whereas, growth hormone is produced in large quantities when resting immediately after sleep and exercise.

Therefore, it is more conducive to the regeneration of muscles by doing appropriate exercises to exercise muscles (small amount of activity) before going to bed at night, washing your face and bathing immediately after exercise, and then going to sleep.

In this way, it is very important to carry out **** in time, such as functional exercises for muscles (not only to exercise muscle strength but also to prevent the production of bedsores to a certain extent) with acupuncture (moxibustion, electroacupuncture, etc.), infrared irradiation, electrotherapy, massage and some operations**. Labor observations showed good results.

Muscle atrophy will occur after nerve injury, because the nerve is irreversible damage, so it is more difficult to recover after injury, and these measures can be taken in this case: 1. Actively find the cause of nerve damage, such as fractures, local compression, etc., need to be active, and give mouse nerve growth factor or methylcobalamin nutrition nerve cells** to prevent further limb atrophy. 2. Actively move the atrophied affected limb and nearby joints to prevent contracture deformity.

3. You can do ****, such as acupuncture, massage, etc. 4. Pay attention to the warmth of the affected limb at ordinary times, as the activity of the affected limb will be aggravated by cold. 5. Every day, you can use hot water to add traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis to soak the affected limb, such as ginger, safflower, etc., to improve the circulation of the affected limb and help the movement of the affected limb.

6. You can eat high-protein foods in your diet, which is conducive to the recovery of the affected limb.

There are many kinds of neuromuscular atrophy symptoms, which may be divided into two categories according to different manifestations, one is manifested as a decrease in muscle volume, and when the patient's muscles are objectively palpated, it can be found that the muscles are not full enough, that is, the muscle volume is reduced. When the reduction is more severe, muscle atrophy can be observed with the naked eye, and the difference between the muscles on both sides can be measured by a tape measure to determine whether there is muscle atrophy.

In addition, many patients with muscle wasting also have muscle weakness. The clinical presentation varies depending on the muscles involved. If the lower extremities are involved, patients may present with ambulatory inability or unsteadiness.

In the early stage, if the symptoms are not obvious, the symptoms may show fatigue when going upstairs or moving long distances. If large muscles of the upper extremities are involved, the patient may be unable to lift heavy objects or lift up. If the small muscles of the hand are affected, it can manifest as an inability to do fine motor skills, such as buttoning, belting, etc.

If muscle weakness affects the muscles of the throat, the patient may have difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, or dysarthria, or choking on water. If facial muscles are involved, it may present with weakness in chewing or drooling at the corners of the mouth, or difficulty closing the eyes. Therefore, depending on the muscles involved, the clinical manifestations of patients are different.

Not Neuromuscular atrophy can be treated in general, but it cannot. Usually neuromuscular atrophy mainly refers to the disuse atrophy of muscles, and the muscles lose the nutrients of nerve fibers, because nerve fibers belong to a permanent cell, which cannot be regenerated after damage, so they cannot be recovered.

After neuromuscular atrophy, patients will be complicated by a series of corresponding symptoms, such as attenuation of muscle strength, which may lead to paralysis of respiratory muscles and respiratory failure in severe cases, and some patients may have heart failure due to myocardial paralysis. It is mainly based on muscle atrophy of the limbs, although neuromuscular atrophy can not be completely atrophied, but it can be used to slow down the course of neuromuscular atrophy, prolong the life of patients, and improve the quality of life.

Neuromuscular atrophy is not a single disease, it is a general term for diseases that cause muscle atrophy due to neuropathy, including anterior horn lesions and peripheral neuropathy caused by various causes, **including **** and ****, anterior horn lesions of the spinal cord are most common in motor neuron disease and polio, there is currently no specific method for motor neuron disease, riluzole can be given orally, edaravone static point, and symptomatic support can be given at the same time**.

Poliomyelitis is currently prevented by oral vaccine, acupuncture is the mainstay, and nerve root compression or peripheral neuropathy caused by other causes can also cause muscle atrophy, such as the common Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is peripheral nerve damage caused by immune reasons, which can be given gamma globulin or plasma exchange, as well as autoimmune-mediated peripheral nerve damage due to other reasons, and can also be carried out with hormones and immunosuppressants. If it is due to compression by a tumor in the spinal cord or a herniated disc pressing on a nerve root, surgery may be given to relieve the compression. In addition, muscle atrophy can also be given acupuncture and ****.

Motor neuron damage is the primary disease of this disease.

Vitamin E and B vitamins can be taken orally, along with coenzyme Q10, interferon, immunosuppressants, hepatocytes**, etc., which nourish nerves.

In such a situation, you can carry out a massage to carry out **, coupled with appropriate protein supplementation, which can prevent our muscles from further atrophy, of course, we can use foreign objects to help our lower limbs to do a small amount of exercise.

Muscle atrophy occurs in MND, which can be chosen, oral vitamin E and vitamin B, or immunosuppressants can be selected for early progress** and prevention, and at the same time, you should choose, pay more attention to rest, and use neuroregenerative drugs**.

Neuronal muscular dystrophy should refer to motor neuron disease, motor neuron disease is a degenerative disease of unknown causes of upper and lower motor neurons, what causes it is not clear, and it is not clear now, so there is no best way to this disease, there is no good way, for example, it can occur in upper motor neurons, and it can also occur in lower motor neurons, which are roughly four diseases.

Primary lateral sclerosis, which occurs in the upper motor neurons, occurs in the lower motor neurons, progressive spinal muscle atrophy, and the upper and lower neurons are damaged, and the disease occurs in the brainstem, progressive saline paralysis. If it occurs in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, you may be referring to neurogenic muscular dystrophy as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. At present, there is a drug called riluzole, also called lirutai, which can delay the progression of this disease for a certain period of several months, but it cannot fundamentally solve any problems, so after diagnosing this disease, it is mainly symptomatic treatment, if there is dyspnea, use a ventilator as soon as possible to maintain the patient's breathing and ensure the patient's life safety.

If the patient has motor neuron disease, these patients are prone to symptoms such as muscle atrophy and weakness. For these patients, a combination of multiple methods is often required, including acupuncture, symptomatic therapy, and exercise.

Such patients tend to be very long and costly. If it is not timely**, the patient may experience respiratory failure, dyspnea, etc. These patients require ventilators to assist ventilation if necessary, as well as endotracheal intubation.

If there is dysphagia and choking on water, a nasogastric tube diet is required to ensure the nutrition and energy of the patient's diet.
