Demyelination in Chinese Medicine

I believe that many people do not know the cause of demyelination, let alone its treatment. In order to increase everyone's knowledge of the treatment of demyelination, we can understand the contents of the article and go to the hospital for treatment in time when demyelination occurs. For this kind of neurological disease, we can use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it. The specific method of taking medicine should be based on the doctor's advice.

1. What is demyelination of the white matter?

Clinically, demyelination of the white matter is mainly due to damage to the autonomic nerves in the white matter of the brain and the spinal cord, which leads to autonomic dysfunction. If this condition is not treated properly, it may lead to serious consequences.

2. Causes of demyelination of white matter

Many diseases can occur in the white matter of the brain. The typical response of white matter to various harmful stimuli is demyelinating changes, which can be a secondary manifestation of neurological diseases such as infection, poisoning, degeneration, trauma, infarction, etc. There is a group of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system whose causes are still unclear. Therefore, the current classification of this group of diseases can be divided into two major categories according to whether the myelin sheath is mature at the time of onset: demyelinating diseases with normal myelin sheath development, such as multiple sclerosis, progressive multifocal leukodystrophy, acute sporadic encephalomyelitis, etc.; and poor myelin formation diseases such as globoid cell-like leukodystrophy, metachromatic leukodystrophy, spongiform encephalopathy, etc.

3. Diagnosis of demyelination of white matter

Olekmj classifies demyelinating diseases into the following categories: autoimmune, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis, multiple sclerosis, infectious, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, toxic/metabolic, carbon monoxide poisoning, vitamin B12 deficiency, and the most common clinical cause is multiple sclerosis.

Treatment of mild white matter demyelination

White matter degeneration is a demyelinating encephalopathy. Delayed treatment leads to pathological changes in nerve tissue mutations, which is prone to recurrence and delayed nerve damage. If you want to completely treat it, the main goal should be to repair the damaged nerve tissue. Currently, the clinical treatments for muscular dystrophy include traditional Chinese medicine, drug therapy, surgery and exercise, but none of them can fundamentally solve the disease problem. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and drug therapy cannot penetrate deeply into the patient's lesions for treatment, and can only temporarily relieve the symptoms of the disease, and long-term drug treatment will stimulate the patient's internal organs. Surgical treatment has high risks and great trauma, and is generally not recommended for patients. Exercise can only be used as an auxiliary treatment and cannot be used as the main treatment method.

It can be seen that if the treatment of white matter degeneration is limited to traditional single treatment methods, it will not be able to make the children recover. It is necessary to start from the root of the disease and simultaneously complete the three steps of nerve tissue repair treatment at the nerve root, psychological correction of abnormal personality and behavior, and restoration of nerve conduction circulation to achieve a complete treatment system.

If demyelination occurs in the white matter of the brain, it will cause symptoms of weakness and damage to the nervous system. Therefore, it is a very serious disease. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for professional treatment as soon as possible. At this time, you should pay attention to avoid loss of white matter due to excessive fatigue.

How to prevent demyelination of white matter

1. Treatment and medication: The treatment of this disease should be carried out as early as possible to control the deterioration of the disease and reduce recurrence. Commonly used drugs include prednisone, epinephrine, dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, etc. The doctor chooses the medicine based on the patient's condition, response to treatment and financial situation.

2. Avoid triggers: Trauma, fatigue, excitement, upper respiratory tract infection and other infections can induce aggravation and recurrence of the disease, so try to avoid them. Pregnancy can accelerate the deterioration of the disease, so women should avoid pregnancy for at least two years after an attack.

3. Acute attack or relapse period:

Rest in bed to help relieve the symptoms;

Give appropriate passive movements to the paralyzed limbs to prevent joint stiffness and pain;

Bedridden patients in the late stage should be turned over frequently and given skin care.

4. Follow-up examination: patients should go to the hospital for follow-up examination regularly to understand whether the disease has progressed so as to give appropriate treatment. You can take Naoyizhi capsules while taking western medicine, which is beneficial to the treatment, improvement and recovery of the disease. The condition you described is not comprehensive, and we don't know your age. What we provide here can only be used as a reference. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
