Often occurs in the cervical spinal cord. When the lesion involves the medulla oblongata, it is called medullary cavity. Syringomyelia usually does not exist alone, but in most cases it is caused by other diseases, such as craniocervical bone malformation, posterior cranial fossa stenosis, cerebellar tonsil hernia malformation, spinal tumor, spinal vascular malformation and so on.
So, what aspects should syringomyelia patients pay attention to in their daily life?
1. Keep an optimistic and cheerful mood. Strong long-term or repeated emotional changes such as mental stress, anxiety, irritability, pessimism, etc. It can make the process of excitation and inhibition of cerebral cortex unbalanced, aggravate muscle jumping and develop into muscle atrophy.
2. Eat a reasonable diet and keep the digestive function normal. Patients with syringomyelia and muscular atrophy maintain normal digestive function, and a reasonable diet structure is the basis of rehabilitation.
Patients with syringomyelia and muscular dystrophy need a high-protein and high-energy dietary supplement to provide necessary substances for the reconstruction of nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells, thus enhancing muscle strength and growing muscles.
In the early stage, foods and medicated diets rich in high protein, vitamins, phospholipids and trace elements were used, such as yam, coix seed, lotus plumule, dried tangerine peel, radix Pseudostellariae and lily. , active use, and fast spicy food, quit smoking and drinking.
In the middle and late stage, semi-liquid food and liquid food with high protein, high nutrition and high energy are mainly used, and the way of eating less and eating more meals is adopted to maintain the nutrition and water-electrolyte balance of patients.
3. Pay attention to prevent colds and infections. Patients with syringomyelia and muscular dystrophy have low autoimmune function or partial immune deficiency. Once they catch a cold, their condition will get worse, the course of disease will be prolonged, muscle weakness and jumping muscles will get worse, especially patients with bulbar palsy are prone to lung infection. If not prevented in time, the prognosis will be poor and even life-threatening.
Gastroenteritis can lead to the dysfunction of intestinal bacteria, especially viral gastroenteritis has different degrees of damage to spinal cord anterior horn cells, which makes the patient's muscle jump worse, muscle strength decline, and the condition is repeated or aggravated.
At present, Kongkangfu decoction is an ideal choice for the treatment of syringomyelia.
Kongkong Kangfu Decoction pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and one person has one side. According to the change of symptoms, the treatment scheme is adjusted effectively, so as to ensure that every patient can get effective treatment effect, especially in improving neurological function, slowing down the course of disease, preventing disease recurrence, restoring limb motor function, reducing disability and reducing side effects.
