Brain injury medication

Brain trauma is a disease that can cause congestion in the brain and is extremely harmful to the human brain. The brain is the main organ that controls human actions. Once there is a problem with the brain, people's various activities will be greatly affected. If you have a brain injury, you should not only seek treatment as soon as possible, but also pay attention to adjusting your lifestyle. So, how should medication be used for brain trauma?

Brain injury medication

1. Drug treatment: It can only effectively control patients with mild symptoms, and the drugs have certain side effects, so it is not a long-term option.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine therapy: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the sequelae of brain trauma are damage to the brain vessels. Clinical diagnosis personnel should first grasp the word "stasis". The treatment of sequelae of brain trauma focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

3. Exercise therapy: mainly through functional training to achieve the goal of preventing muscle atrophy, enhancing muscle strength, relieving muscle tension and promoting motor function recovery.

4. Nutritional therapy: Eat more fruits and vegetables to ensure nutritional balance, pay attention to digestion when eating according to your own condition; adjust your diet reasonably, maintain adequate nutrition, and enhance your physical fitness.

5. Psychotherapy: Develop a psychotherapy plan based on changes at different psychological stages, using a variety of methods including individual, group, family, and behavioral.

6. Acupuncture treatment: Acupuncture uses different needles to stimulate certain parts of the human body and uses various techniques to stimulate and adjust human functions to improve nerve damage and promote normal muscle activity, but the effect is not great.

7. Limb massage: Start from the distal joints, follow the direction of the limb's normal function, and perform passive movements first. At the beginning, the patient is reluctant to move due to pain. At this time, he should be comforted, encouraged and slightly forced. Start with short, small exercises and gradually increase the amount. Early resumption of independent activities should be encouraged.

8. Physical therapy: Physical therapy is a method of preventing or treating diseases by using physical factors such as electricity, light, sound, and heat. It can adjust blood circulation, improve nutritional metabolism, enhance immune function (immune function refers to the body's resistance to disease. The body's immune function is completed through the interaction of lymphocytes, monocytes and other related cells and their products.), regulate nervous system function, and promote tissue repair. It is widely used in clinical practice.

What should you avoid eating after brain injury?

1. Patients with sequelae of brain trauma should avoid eating too much meat and bones

It is generally believed that eating more meat and bones after a fracture can help the fracture heal earlier. In fact, this is not the case. Modern medicine has proved through many practices that if patients with fractures eat more meat and bones, it will not only fail to heal early, but will delay the healing time of the fracture.

The reason is that the regeneration of bones after injury mainly depends on the function of periosteum and bone marrow, and periosteum and bone marrow can play a better role only under the condition of increasing collagen, and the main components of meat bones are phosphorus and calcium.

If consumed in large quantities after a fracture, it will increase the inorganic content in the bone, leading to an imbalance in the proportion of organic matter in the bone, thus hindering the early healing of the fracture. But fresh meat and bone soup is delicious and can stimulate appetite, so it is okay to eat less.

2. Patients with sequelae of brain trauma should avoid excessive consumption of sugar

When patients with sequelae of brain trauma consume a large amount of white sugar, it will cause rapid metabolism of glucose, thereby producing metabolic intermediates such as pyruvate, lactic acid, etc., causing the body to be in an acidic poisoning state. At this time, alkaline calcium, magnesium, sodium and other ions will be immediately mobilized to participate in the neutralization effect to prevent the blood from becoming acidic. Such a large consumption of calcium will be detrimental to the recovery of patients with sequelae of brain trauma. At the same time, too much white sugar will also reduce the content of vitamin B1 in the body. This is because vitamin B1 is a necessary substance for the conversion of sugar into energy in the body. Insufficient vitamin B1 greatly reduces the activity of nerves and muscles and also affects the recovery of function. Therefore, patients with sequelae of brain trauma should avoid consuming too much white sugar.

3. Patients with sequelae of brain trauma should avoid picky eating

Patients with sequelae of brain trauma often suffer from local edema, congestion, bleeding, muscle tissue damage, etc. The body itself has the ability to resist and repair these, and the body relies on various nutrients to repair tissues, grow bones and regenerate muscles, form bone callus, and remove blood stasis and swelling. Therefore, nutrition is the key to ensuring the smooth healing of fractures.
