How is muscle atrophy treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. How is muscle atrophy treated?

Doctor's answer:

If muscle atrophy reoccurs, it is recommended that you first go to the hospital for relevant and thorough examinations, including muscle strength tests and electromyography. Check if there is any nerve damage and what the current muscle strength level is. Generally, you can take some nerve-nourishing medications to promote nerve recovery and alleviate muscle atrophy. You can also try some traditional Chinese medicine external treatment methods, such as acupuncture therapy, cupping therapy, herbal steam therapy, and cold compress therapy. These methods have all shown good efficacy in treating muscle atrophy.
