Doctor's answer:
This is a late-onset encephalopathy, where the onset is due to the original affected nerves failing to receive adequate blood supply, leading to secondary degenerative inflammation in the early stage. Currently, the treatment of this condition is more challenging than treating primary nerve damage, and delayed treatment may lead to the recurrence of more severe symptoms.Recommendation: Current treatment should include not only nutritional supplements but also a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for syndrome differentiation and regulation. This aims to ensure that the affected nerves receive sufficient nutrition to prevent secondary ischemic degeneration. Additionally, medications that promote nerve regeneration should be used to activate and stimulate nerves that are not fully anesthetized, allowing for a thorough recovery of nerve function. Only by achieving this can activities such as movement and other functions be optimally restored.
