Patient's question:
My baby was born this year, and they are very cute. However, the process of giving birth was truly difficult for me, and there was a case of shoulder dystocia. In the end, the baby was born, but the doctor said that the child's right arm is not functioning well, apparently due to nerve paralysis, and I am very worried.Could you please ask the doctor how to treat neonatal right arm nerve paralysis caused by shoulder dystocia?
Doctor's answer:
The right arm of the baby is anesthetized with nerve block. Recommendations: The main techniques of massage include rubbing, pressing, pinching, tapping, and grasping, with grasping as the foundation. Among these, acupoint stimulation refers to the acupoints mentioned above. Pinching primarily involves pressing the fingertip of the thumb against each fingertip and the surrounding area of the affected limb, with each area pressed 10 times. The intensity should be adjusted to what the patient can tolerate. Tapping follows the Hand Three Yang and Hand Three Yin meridians, tapping the entire affected limb while combining it with weak limb movements. Wishing you good health.
