What medicine should I take for cerebellar atrophy? I recommend this treatment

The main treatments for cerebellar atrophy can be divided into three types: psychotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and drug treatment. Commonly used drugs include alprazolam, delexin, fluoxetine, paroxetine, etc. If necessary, they can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Psychotherapy

Through explanation and guidance, we can introduce the nature of cerebral atrophy to patients, let them know that the disease is not hopeless to be cured, guide them to divert their attention instead of focusing on their own symptoms, and support patients to increase their confidence in treatment.

2. Medication

A combination step-by-step therapy is used, and antianxiety drugs and antidepressants are more commonly used. These drugs have obvious effects on stabilizing patients' anxiety, irritability or depression. Among them, antianxiety drugs often have the effect of improving sleep. Commonly used drugs include alprazolam, delexin, fluoxetine, paroxetine, etc. If the patient feels mental retardation and memory loss, he or she may be given a small dose of brain metabolism improvers, such as piracetam, ginkgo leaves, etc.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cerebral atrophy is mostly caused by deficiency of both the heart and spleen or deficiency of yin and excess of fire. When treating, different prescriptions should be selected according to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as acupuncture, qigong, massage, and cupping also have certain therapeutic effects on some patients with cerebral atrophy and can be selected under the guidance of a doctor.
