Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Can there be medication for spinal cord cavitation?Doctor's answer:
This condition can lead to symptoms of nerve damage. Traditional Chinese medicine can be tried, with the treatment principles of invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen, and promoting blood circulation. Examples include modified Di Huang Yin. Radiotherapy on the spinal cord lesion area may be effective in a small number of cases. Painkillers, B vitamins, ATP, coenzyme A, and inosine can also be administered. When gliosis is predominant in the early stage, radiotherapy or oral treatment with radioactive iodine 131I can be considered to block disease progression. If spinal cord compression symptoms appear, laminectomy decompression surgery may be considered.
