Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Can a spinal canal surgery leave behind postoperative complications?Doctor's answer:
After surgical treatment for spinal cord cavernous malformation, many patients will experience some degree of neurological dysfunction. Active nutritional nerve drugs are needed, and patients should not sleep during the day but sleep at night. Sedative medications can be used to aid sleep. Appropriate physical exercise and active functional rehabilitation training should be conducted. In addition to neurotrophic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to enhance and improve local blood circulation around the injured spinal cord, preventing secondary spinal cord damage.
