External
violence beyond human protective capacity can cause cranial and spinal bone
destruction and fractures, leading to concussion of the brain and spinal cord in
mild patients, and even brain and spinal cord injury in severe patients.
Clinically common trauma, subdural cyst, tumor suppression, arterial vascular
malformations, epidural anesthesia accidents or lumbar puncture, spinal canal
surgery, diskectomy, anesthesia accidents, chemical poisoning, and subarachnoid
inflammatory edema and hemorrhage with unknown causes may trigger the disease.
Spinal
cord injury:
It consists of high level injury and low
level injury. Injury in thoracic cord or higher level with spasms is called
paraplegia, an upper motor neuron injury. Cervical and thoracic segments injury
is the common type, with the clinical manifestations of the loss of motor
function below injured level, urinary and defecation incontinence, upper limb
muscle atrophy. When cervical spinal cord injury occurs, phrenoparalysis can
lead to dyspnea, weak coughing and unstable blood pressure, etc. Besides, limbs
can show spastic paralysis.
Thoracolumbar
spinal cord injury occurs when segments below T12&L1 level, mainly conus
medullaris and cauda equine, are damaged, which belongs to lower motor neuron
injury. Clinical manifestations include decreased muscle tension, decreased or
disappeared tendon reflex and loss of motor function below injured level,
urinary and defecation incontinence, muscle atrophy and flaccid paralysis of
lower limbs. Occasionally, mild spasms can be observed, suggesting secondary
involvement of upper motor neurons.
Traumatic
nerve injury with complete loss of limbs function (paralysis) or partial loss
(paraplegia or hemiparalysis) is one obstacle in the modern medicine. Western
medicine makes use of decompression surgery (removal of stagnated blood in
brain, restoring spinal canal diameter, separation of spinal cord and cauda
equine adhesions and surgical
releases of tethered spinal cord caused by spina bifida), but the loss of motor
function, urinary and defecation incontinence, muscle atrophy and spastic limb
pain still exist after surgery. At present, there are no good measures and
medicines that can realize functional recovery and regeneration of injured and
compressed nerves. Most medical experts adopt neurotrophic treatments, but the
effects are very slow. The reason is that the treatment can not directly excite
the brain and spinal cord and peripheral nerves, so that a part of patients can
not get correct treatment in the effective treatment period, leading to a poor
functional recovery (secondary atrophy, softening and necrosis can occur in two
years) and a hard life in a wheelchair forever.
Our
hospital makes use of “Spinal Nerve Regeneration Dan” combined with
traditional Chinese medicine to supply sufficient blood to the local
microcirculation of injured nerves by directly improving microcirculation,
activate paralytic and shocked nerves following injury to compensate necrotic
ones and realize neural regeneration by forming collateral substitution. All
these can improve limb movements and promote the recovery of various functions
such as urinary and defecation function.
