How is neuromuscular atrophy treated? Can neuromuscular atrophy recover?

Neuromuscular atrophy is a general term for diseases that cause muscle atrophy due to nerve damage, including muscle atrophy caused by lesions of the anterior horn of the spinal cord, such as motor neuron disease, and muscle atrophy caused by peripheral neuropathy of various causes.

If the nerve damage is mediated by autoimmunity, hormones, immunoglobulins, immunosuppressants, etc. can be used**, and most of the efficacy is relatively good.

If it is a degenerative injury of the anterior horn of the spinal cord, there is no specific method, and drugs such as riluzole and edaravone can be used.

If it is a tumor compression, nerve damage caused by disc compression, relieving the compression is the best way.

We have to choose different programs according to the nature of different diseases.

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.

In the world, the typical representative of muscular dystrophy patients is Stephen William Hawking, and the Chinese people usually call him Hawking. He was a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, paralyzed and unable to pronounce. So what is muscular dystrophy?

How does muscular dystrophy work?

Muscular dystrophy is caused by striated muscle dystrophy, which is found in many parts of the body, and can be devastating and can be confined to a wheelchair forever. As you can imagine, this disease is also very terrible. We cannot ignore it, nor can we be afraid of it.

Muscular dystrophy can be divided into four types, namely mild, moderate, severe, and complete atrophy. Mild atrophy in the body'The muscle fibers are slightly reduced, the appearance of the muscle tissue is not obviously depressed, and the muscle tissue is loose to the touch, which is manifested as muscle weakness, but resistance exercises can be done. In moderate amyotrophy, the muscle fibers are partially atrophied and missing, the appearance of muscle tissue is sunken, the touch is narrowed longitudinally and laterally, and the muscle weakness is obvious, and resistance exercises cannot be done.

Severe muscular atrophy is when muscle fibers begin to become smaller in size, exposing the bones in the affected area, resulting in general weakness and even loss of basic exercise capacity. In the case of complete atrophy, the motor function associated with the muscles is completely lost.

With the method of traditional Chinese medicine**muscle atrophy, the early stage should be mainly to strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, the middle stage should focus on tonifying the spleen and kidney, and the later stage is to nourish the liver and kidney, in order to nourish yin and invigorate qi. In addition to this, patients need to maintain an optimistic and happy mood. Because of emotional changes such as nervousness, anxiety, irritability, and pessimism, the balance of the excitatory and inhibitory processes of the cerebral cortex can be imbalanced, and the muscle beat will be aggravated and the muscle atrophy will develop.

Therefore, it is important to stay optimistic and cheerful! Just like Stephen Hawking, even if he is so sick that he can only be confined to a wheelchair all day, he is still optimistic about life.

Nerve atrophy occurs in different nervous systems and will have different protocols, which should be made clear after being defined.

If the central nervous system is atrophied, the main manifestation is cerebral atrophy, and the symptoms include dementia, mental retardation, memory impairment, personality changes, etc. If it is natural atrophy caused by age, it is usually not necessary for mild cases**, and for severe cases, medication** is required. If the atrophy caused by the disease is defined, it is necessary to clarify ** and carry out targeted ** rolling.

Cholinesterase inhibitors and ionic glutamate receptor antagonists can be used to improve cognitive function under the guidance of a doctor. Optic nerve atrophy can be accompanied by visual field changes, vision loss, color vision abnormalities, and even blindness. Vitamin B can be used to nourish the visual slag and hyperbaric oxygen can also be used to promote the recovery of optic nerve function.

If there is acute focal compression, surgery is possible**.

The patient has peripheral nervous system atrophy, which is common after nerve trunk injury, and the main manifestations are muscle atrophy, difficulty standing, weight loss, and other symptoms such as chiropractic. Functional training should be strengthened to ensure adequate energy and balanced nutrition every day, or it can be carried out with drugs that nourish the nerves**.

Neuroatrophy occurs in different nervous systems, and there will be different protocols, which should be clarified, such as central nervous system atrophy, peripheral nervous system atrophy, etc.

1. Central nervous system atrophy: the main manifestation is cerebral atrophy, and the symptoms include dementia, mental retardation, memory impairment, and personality changes. If it is natural atrophy due to aging, it is usually not necessary for mild cases**, and severe cases require medication**.

If it is atrophy caused by disease, it needs to be clarified** and targeted**. At the same time, cholinesterase inhibitors and ionic glutamate receptor antagonists can be used under the guidance of the source blind doctor to improve cognitive function. Increase physical labor and physical activity on a daily basis to enhance physical fitness.

In addition, optic nerve atrophy can be accompanied by visual field changes, vision loss, color vision abnormalities and even blindness and other symptoms, B vitamins can be used to nourish the optic nerve, and hyperbaric oxygen can also be used to promote the recovery of optic nerve function, if there is acute local compression, surgery can be performed**;

2. Atrophy of the peripheral nervous system: common in atrophy after nerve trunk injury, which mainly leads to muscle atrophy, symptoms such as thinning of limbs, difficulty standing, weight loss, etc., should strengthen limb function training to ensure adequate energy intake every day, balanced nutrition, and nutritional neurological drugs can also be applied**.
