What are the health care methods for cubital tunnel syndrome

There are many organs in the human body. Problems with organs or small joints will have a great impact on the human body. Nowadays, many people often do not pay attention to their diet, are often picky eaters, do not pay attention to vitamin supplements, and eat spicy, greasy and heavy-tasting foods for a long time. They will gradually develop cubital tunnel syndrome. Most patients with cubital tunnel syndrome will have functional loss and even inability to move normally due to incoordination of nerve control. They should take good care of their diet and life. They can be repaired through exercise and surgery. Patients should avoid high-intensity exercise, which can be increased little by little during the recovery process.

Diet and health care

1 Patients should eat more foods rich in B vitamins, such as yeast, rice bran, whole wheat, oats, peanuts, pork, most kinds of vegetables, wheat bran, and milk.

2 Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods.

Preventive Care

1. Take rest and avoid pressure on your hands and elbows.

2 Because the sensory function of the affected hand is reduced, you should protect the affected area during daily activities to prevent secondary injuries, such as burns and abrasions.

Pathological etiology

The ulnar nerve is most superficial behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus and at the olecranon of the ulna. It is easily affected by knife wounds or fractures. It can also be caused by elbow support pressure, trauma, leprosy, abnormal development of the medial epicondyle of the humerus, and elbow valgus deformity. Cubital tunnel syndrome is also very common.

Disease diagnosis

1 Diagnostic basis

1.1 Loss of little finger movement, weak wrist and finger flexion, inability of thumb to adduct and oppose the palm, and hand deviates to the radial side when the wrist is flexed.

1.2 The hypothenar muscles and interosseous muscles often atrophy.

1.3 Sensory impairment on the ulnar side of the little finger and ring finger.

1.4 There is often a history of direct damage to the ulnar nerve due to humeral fracture, elbow dislocation, wrist or elbow trauma, and it can also be seen in patients with Kaschin-Beck disease and leprosy.

1.5 There are abnormalities in electromyography and nerve conduction velocity.

2 Differential diagnosis

2.1 Median nerve palsy: Muscle atrophy is distributed in the 1/3 of the forearm and thenar muscles, and is flexed. The patient uses the base of the thumb and index finger to perform the paper pinch test.
