What is the effect of ALS treatment with traditional Chinese medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine: In recent years, Chinese medicine has made some progress in the treatment of this disease. The basic principle of supporting righteousness should be followed, and there is no shortage of ancient prescriptions for new uses, the creation of new prescriptions, and the synthesis of acupuncture and medicine. The synergy of traditional Chinese and Western medicine** also has good efficacy, but it lacks rigorous demonstration and practice.

When it comes to motor neuron disease, many people may not know about it, but when it comes to it"ALS"You may be familiar with the ice bucket challenge, which was all the rage before, is to arouse everyone's love and attention for ALS.

According to the estimates of Chinese medical experts, according to the prevalence rate of 4 to 6 per 100,000 in foreign countries, there should be at least 780,000 patients in China. Symptoms: Progressive muscle atrophy throughout the body As an irreversible and fatal neuropathy, MND is listed as one of the five terminal diseases by the World Health Organization, along with cancer and AIDS.

People with this disease begin to develop the disease in adulthood, and the course of the disease progresses very rapidly, first muscle atrophy, and then slowly unable to move freely in the limbs, gradually affecting the patient's swallowing or breathing. The patient's muscles throughout the body are progressively atrophied and weak, as if they are gradually frozen, hence the name"ALS"。

Since the sensory nerves were not violated, the patient's intelligence, memory and sensation were not affected, and the patient eventually died of respiratory failure while conscious. Although the incidence of this disease is not high, the pain caused to patients is enormous.

Often one person falls ill, and the whole family falls into the abyss of suffering. **: Deficiency of liver, spleen and kidney and other viscera Motor neuron disease should belong to traditional Chinese medicine"Symptoms of impotence"、"Prickly heat"Category.

This disease is recorded in the ancient book of Chinese medicine "Shengji General Record"."The tongue can't speak, and it's useless"clinical signs. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the deficiency of the liver, spleen, kidney and other organs is the key to the pathogenesis.

The spleen is in charge of muscles in the human body, which is the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and if the spleen and stomach are deficient, they cannot be angry and bloody, so they cannot provide power and nutrients to the muscles, resulting in weakness of the limbs; The kidneys are the main body of the body's essence, and if the essence is sufficient, the bone marrow will be strong, and the yang energy will also be full.

The deficiency of kidney qi causes yang qi to not reach the limbs, the limbs are cold and condensed, and the muscles and bones are weak; The liver is the main tendon, the liver and kidney are homologous, and the liver and blood are deficient, which will cause the human body to not have enough qi and blood to transport yang qi to the various meridians.

At present, Western medicine has not yet sought an effective method for ALS. In fact, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, ALS also belongs to the scope of muscle atrophy. The root cause of muscle atrophy is because the body's blood vessels are not running well.

If you want to have ** muscle atrophy in the early stage, you can take Angelica Si Reverse Tang with a large amount of astragalus, chicken blood vine, kudzu, ground turtle and leech to achieve the purpose of smooth blood and qi. The so-called Angelica sinensis soup is mainly made of angelica, cinnamon branches, white peony, fine puncture, boiled licorice, Mutong and jujube, and the astragalus can replenish qi and help promote the operation of the body's blood vessels, and the amount of astragalus can be increased appropriately; Pueraria lobata can play the role of yin and yang, helping qi and blood to enter the muscles; The two insects, soft-shelled turtle and leech, can help promote blood circulation and eliminate stasis. In the later stage of ALS, you can use Angelica sinensis soup to tonify the kidney and strengthen the body, such as yam, raw and cooked ground, deer antler cream, purple river car and so on.

Traditional Chinese medicine ** follows the method of tonifying according to the disease, only the meridians are unobstructed and the blood vessels are unobstructed, which will not lead to the qi of disease and evil entering the muscles and causing muscle atrophy. In fact, for diseases that do not have an effective solution, you might as well give it a try in traditional Chinese medicine.

Motor neuron disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a relatively rare disease. After the occurrence of this disease, patients will have progressive skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy, patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and patients will have weakness in the hands and feet after the aggravation of the disease, and patients with severe disease will have weakness in the limbs and difficulty breathing.

Motor neuron disease, also known as ALS, is a relatively rare condition characterized by chronic and progressive degeneration. After the occurrence of this disease, the patient's limbs will have muscle weakness and hormonal tremors, and the aggravation of the disease will affect the patient's ability to take care of himself. The age of high incidence of this disease is 30 to 60 years old, this disease can not be completely **, after the disease can be taken to improve and enhance the quality of life of patients.

Motor neuron disease is a disease that seriously endangers the health of middle-aged and elderly people, and it is necessary to take symptomatic measures in time after the occurrence of this disease. According to the severity of the disease, the disease is divided into 5 stages, so let's take a look at the symptoms of each stage of MND!

1. Symptom onset: During this period, most patients have no obvious symptoms, so many people will ignore the harm and importance of this disease.

2. Difficult work period: During this period, patients will obviously feel that they are powerless in the process of work, as well as physical discomfort.

3. Difficult period: This period is also known as the middle stage of motor neuron disease, during which the patient's hands and feet will have serious dysfunction, and the patient will lose the ability to manage life.

4. Dysphagia period: During this period, most patients will have slurred speech, weakness of limbs, choking and difficulty swallowing in the process of eating.

5. Dyspnea period: Keeping the airway open can make people live a normal life, and patients will have severe dyspnea during this period, which is an advanced stage of motor neuron disease.

According to the severity of the disease, MND can be divided into the above five stages, from the early stage of the disease to the late stage of the disease. The symptoms are not obvious in the early stage of the disease, and with the aggravation of the disease, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the patient's body and life, and after reaching the advanced stage, the patient will lose the ability to take care of himself and cause paralysis.

Patients suffering from this disease should actively seek medical treatment, but they should avoid blind medical treatment, and insist on exercising when receiving **, which can improve physical fitness and alleviate muscle atrophy. It is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise, which can easily cause limb damage. In addition to being timely after the disease, it is also necessary to cooperate with the doctor to make dietary and lifestyle adjustments during the ** process, which can improve the quality of life.

ALS is a disease characterized by muscle atrophy, which is called dystrophy in traditional Chinese medicine and is characterized by muscle atrophy or limb paralysis due to sluggish tendons and pulses in the limbs, weakness and weakness, and inability to move at will. From the perspective of clinical symptoms, ALS can be attributed to the impotence of traditional Chinese medicine.

Guiding opinions: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that those who treat impotence are the only ones who take yangming, so traditional Chinese medicine takes regulating the spleen and stomach as the main method. At the same time, pay attention to tonifying the liver and kidneys. Some patients have dampness, phlegm, and congestion, so they need to clear away heat and dampness, remove phlegm and invigorate blood.

ALS people belong to the category of TCM impotence syndrome, and TCM is generally based on the method of impotence syndrome, that is, the limb is weak and weak, unable to move at will, and usually follows the principle of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. The common TCM syndrome types include lung heat and injury syndrome, damp heat and qi reversal syndrome, spleen and stomach weakness syndrome, liver and kidney deficiency syndrome, etc., and the doctor will carry out ** according to the syndrome type to alleviate the process of impotence syndrome, but it is not possible**.

1. Pulmonary fever injury syndrome: patients often present with limb weakness, muscle atrophy, dryness, irritability, thirst, and cough, and may have a history of fever, cough, headache and other diseases before the onset of the disease. For people with ALS caused by lung heat injury, the treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine is to clear away heat and moisten dryness, nourish the lungs and nourish the lungs, and the commonly used prescriptions are drugs such as Qingdry Lung Saving Soup, Shashen Maidong Soup, etc.;

2. Damp-heat and qi reversal syndrome: patients often show that the limbs gradually appear weak and weak, and the lower limbs are more common or severe, which can be accompanied by numbness, swelling, and may also have symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of urine. The treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine is to clear away heat and dampness, dredge the meridians, and the commonly used prescriptions are drugs such as Simiao pills;

3. Spleen and stomach weakness syndrome: people with weak spleen and stomach can generally have limb weakness and weakness, muscle atrophy is more obvious, in addition to fatigue, loss of appetite, unformed stool, etc., the treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine is to strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, and the commonly used prescription medicine is Shenling Baizhu powder and other drugs;

4. Liver and kidney deficiency syndrome: patients generally present with limb weakness or complete disuse atrophy of the lower limbs, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as soreness in the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, and enuresis. The treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine is to nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish yin and clear heat, and the commonly used prescriptions are Huqian pills.

In addition to the drug, you can also take the method of acupuncture, and the acupoints generally include Dingchuan acupoint, Waiguan acupoint, Quchi acupoint, Hegu acupoint, Kidney Yu acupoint, Yangling Spring acupoint, Taixi acupoint and other acupoints, which also have a certain effect. In addition to the use of traditional Chinese medicine**, patients can also combine the methods of Western medicine for synthesis**, which is conducive to delaying the progression of the disease.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called ALS is actually caused by serious problems in the spleen and stomach. The idea of ALS in traditional Chinese medicine is to focus on regulating the spleen and stomach, and cooperate with blood circulation to fill in the essence and regulate the spleen and stomach. Let the body's qi circulate, and the disease will slowly improve, and the basic idea is this.

The circumference of the base surface is 20 cm, and the height is also 20 cm Base area: [(20 You can calculate it yourself)

Diagnosis and differential diagnosis should be made as early as possible, neuroprotective and supportive supports** should be given as early as possible, such as lirutai and other drugs, and regular follow-up should be adherent.

1.So so**.

Support**: symptomatic**, appropriate exercise. For example, pay attention to the function of the respiratory tract and digestive tract.

If saliva is profuse, a small amount of antihistamine may be given; If there is a lot of phlegm, nebulized inhalation and phlegm-reducing drugs can be given; If you are depressed, you will be given an antidepressant**. In addition, it is necessary to turn over more often to prevent pressure ulcers from occurring. If eating disorders occur, nasogastric feeding or percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) is given.

2.Special**.

At present, the only internationally recognized and FDA-approved** amyotrophic lateral sclerosis drug is Rilutek, and it must be used as soon as possible.

3.Breathe**.

When breathing is difficult at first, regular oxygen or a dual positive pressure ventilator (BIBAP) can be used to help breathing, and if further respiratory failure occurs, a tracheostomy is required and an artificial ventilator is used.

4.Research Progress.

At present, neurotrophic factors, antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, creatine, COQ10, etc., are being used in combination with Lirutai to protect amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the above** has yet to be confirmed by clinical trials. In addition, scientists are also conducting experimental studies on the genes of the disease.

At the moment, there doesn't seem to be a good way, the main thing is to be more active!

ALS is a current medical problem, and according to the current medical level, there is no effective way.

Summary. Good evening kiss, I'm Xiaodu, I'm happy to answer your <>

Under normal circumstances, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for ALS, but it does not mean that it will have a very good effect, if there is ALS, it must be carried out in time, try to avoid delaying the condition, and can give drugs under the guidance of doctors. It is advisable to maintain a good attitude, avoid overexertion, and avoid staying up late.

My brother suffers from ALS, can you help us with Chinese medicine**?

Good evening kiss, I'm Xiaodu, I'm happy to answer your <>

Under normal circumstances, the drug can be used for ALS, but it does not mean that there will be a very good effect of ALS, if there is ALS, we must carry out the corresponding ** in time, try to avoid delaying the condition, and can give the group a delay in the drug under the guidance of the doctor. It is advisable to maintain a good attitude, avoid overexertion, and avoid staying up late.

It is best to combine traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine** for better results, the specific content is as follows: ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a type of motor neuron disease. Damaged neurons are densely distributed in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, brainstem and other parts, which may cause patients to have symptoms such as tongue muscle atrophy, fasciculation, dysphagia, and chewing weakness.

Traditional Chinese medicine **ALS has a certain effect, and acupuncture on the patient's neck, both sides of the spine, and muscle atrophy** can alleviate related symptoms; Patients can also be treated with a massage of the damaged area to relieve symptoms; When guessing in the same circle, patients can be given neurotrophic drugs, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, etc., and the effect will be better.

Can I prescribe Chinese medicine?

Yes, ALS can be improved by taking drugs such as white peony, astragalus, schisandra, deer horn gum, leech, and Dilong, which can achieve the effect of holding the closed state to invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can accelerate local blood circulation and metabolism, and help to alleviate clinical symptoms to a certain extent, but can not be completely improved.

It is best to combine Chinese medicine and Western medicine**, and it is recommended to take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

ALS includes support and medications.

1. Support: Symptomatic and appropriate exercise. Pay attention to the function and patency of the respiratory and digestive tracts, and if there is an increase in oral secretions, antihistamine drugs can be used; Nebulized inhalation drugs can be used if there is a lot of phlegm, and if there is a shortness of breath, resulting in dyspnea and hypoxemia, a ventilator can be used to assist breathing.

In addition, the patient should be turned over more often to avoid bedsores.

2. Drugs**: For ALS, you can use drugs such as riluzole tablets**, and you can also try to use neurotrophic factors, antioxidants, free radical scavengers, and pro-metabolic drugs to improve symptoms, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, edaravone, idebenone, etc.

ALS is a disease that cannot be improved, but it can be used to improve the quality of life of patients and delay the progression of the disease through support and drugs. For patients with ALS, early diagnosis and early ** are required.
