Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Can muscle atrophy still be recovered from?Doctor's answer:
Muscular atrophy is relatively common in neurology, primarily characterized by muscle volume enlargement and the purulent degeneration of muscle neurons, leading to the loss or reduction of various sensory functions. This results in patients being unable to stand, hold objects, or breathe normally, requiring ventilators to sustain life. In the acute phase, corticosteroids can be initially administered for treatment. Later, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) methods such as acupuncture and moxibustion can be implemented to stimulate nerves and promote complete recovery. Additionally, these treatments can be combined with other therapeutic approaches like acupuncture massage.
