What should be the approach in the choice of treatment tactics

Despite these successes and achievements in the field of neurological disorders clinic, treatment tserebrastenicheskom syndrome is quite a challenge. There is no single approach to treatment, so in many ways neurologist in the appointment of the complex therapy relies on his own experience and intuition. The determining factor is the degree of neurological disorders and other body functions.

To stimulate the metabolic processes in the tissues of the brain shows the assignment of amino acid drugs, nootropic drugs, as well as natural adaptogens. Antispasmodics processes effectively improve blood circulation, so this group of drugs also include a range of therapeutic interventions. The main objective is to promote, restore regulatory mechanisms at the central level. For this reason, drugs that improve the microcirculation, blood circulation and supply the brain, are appointed taking into account the individual characteristics of the disease.

Sedation have decoction motherwort, hawthorn, and tinctures peony Tincture of Peony - calm and regulate sleep , Valerian and other medicinal plants. When the need for toning therapy if confirmed hypodynamic form syndrome prescribe herbal remedies such as lemongrass, devil, Siberian ginseng, and others. Take prescribed medications should be for one month or more, if you want a more long-term therapy.

The question of taking psychoactive drugs should be decided individually on their own to start taking them without consulting a specialist is unacceptable, because it can cause serious complications such as adverse reactions.

About the need to respect the work and rest

When embarking on a course of treatment, it is necessary to pay special attention to respect for the work and rest. You can not overwork, so any stress (physical and mental load) should be dosed. It is important that the patient was greater in the open air, the required number of hours of sleep. It is recommended to watch less television transmission to avoid any additional loads.

In the case of treatment of the child attaches great importance to the role of the teacher in the educational process, as institutional support is of great importance. When it comes to performing a specific task, the teacher can organize the process so that the task itself was small in volume, and to be able to arrange a time interval of its execution. It is proved that with proper organization of the educational process with the children tserebrastenicheskom syndrome may well learn the program and to avoid the development of the difficulties in the learning process, the occurrence of which is related to their health.

If the child will follow a specific daily routine, the training will be largely held good that will not affect the progress of pupils in general. In some cases, the child himself talks about how to organize his day or training, so you should always listen to his opinion. Parents can help the child if it will provide everything needed for the organization of educational process. Any device that will contribute to the assimilation of training programs have been successfully applied, including a variety of innovative programs.

It is known that the absorption of the material in children with tserebrastenicheskom syndrome occurs within the first twenty minutes, so rational, if to take breaks between training and then start again, restoring the capacity of the brain to assimilate. This approach is followed in teaching the child in special remedial classes where teachers have the knowledge to work with children with neurological disorders. Properly organized learning process allows the child to adapt socially, given that there are often psychological problems with peers who do not lag behind in performance. Some children become aware of their failure and the hatred of the school and teachers, so the task of qualified teachers to organize the training of the student.

Why it may be numbness

Numbness occurs when squeezed nerves or blood vessels. And then, and another may have a different origin. For example, a typical temporary numbness occurs when a long stay in the same position. It is necessary to change the attitude and silence quickly passes this condition often in the elderly.

But the numbness may be a sign of serious illness. The most common of them occur in the formation of squeezing or obstruction of the arteries (Raynaud's disease, atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis - a chronic disease of the arteries , Stroke) and injury of nerves (osteochondrosis, tunnel neuropathies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome).

Raynaud's disease

Raynaud's disease - a disease characterized by paroxysmal disorders of blood circulation mainly in the hands and feet. The exact cause of the disease has not been established. Have a value hereditary predisposition (structure and features of innervation of the arteries), stress, intoxication (smoking, alcohol abuse). Raynaud's disease is more common in young women after infectious diseases, hypothermia, prolonged sun exposure, fatigue. Most often this disease affects women pianists and constantly working on the computer.

The disease is based on the proliferation of smooth muscle digital arteries and spasm (contraction) due to various factors: cold, stress and so on.

Primarily affecting II - IV fingers and toes. Later may suffer and other exposed parts of the body cooling (nose, ears, chin). Character strict symmetry of symptoms, early involvement of more hands than feet, staging of the disease.

• In stage I, there are short-term bouts of numbness and aching fingers, lasting a few minutes. Usually, they are associated with cooling (eg, hand washing with cold water), stress or smoking. Warming fingers improves.
• Stage II is characterized by an increase in the duration of attacks to an hour or more, the emergence of sometimes without external causes and the appearance after the attacks of some tissue edema
• In stage III seizures lead to profound changes in the local: in the skin of the fingers are formed bubbles appear superficial ulcers, state of the nails. When significant changes of the arteries is possible gangrene (death of tissue).

The diagnosis is based on ultrasound of the blood vessels. There are also a variety of functional studies of the state of the blood vessels.

Treatment is reduced to the warming of the extremities, prescription drugs, relieves spasms of blood vessels and physiotherapy. Be sure to quit smoking How to Quit Smoking: Tips for Women .

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to a tunnel neuropathy (a group of diseases associated with the compression of the nerve trunks in a narrow channel). If carpal tunnel syndrome occurs compression of the median nerve under the transverse carpal ligament. Carpal tunnel syndrome is most common in women after forty years. The disease is a professional associated with prolonged work conducive voltage flexor-extensor muscles in the arms (for example, by picking up small parts, writing, typing, playing the accordion, etc.). Prolonged stress these muscles occurs swelling Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause   capsule and tendon squeezing nerve trunk.

The main symptom of the disease include numbness and pain in the I - III fingers and sometimes in all fingers. Pains worse in the horizontal position and raising hands up. With the progression of the disease develop paresis (temporary immobilization) and wasting (decrease in volume) elevation muscles of the thumb. The big toe is bent with difficulty or not at all bent, the hand is fully compressed in a fist. Without treatment, the disease can lead to complete permanent damage to the median nerve, followed by severe violations of the brush.

Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome is better to start as early as possible. First, we should eliminate the causes of the disease (change jobs), otherwise it will progress. Because of drugs used NSAIDs (eg Nice), which can alleviate pain, diuretics (reduces swelling of tissues), B vitamins B vitamins: the body useful helpers , Severe cases - corticosteroids (such as hydrocortisone). Sometimes surgical treatment - surgery carpal tunnel opening. When rehabilitation after treatment is assigned therapeutic exercises for the hands, which should take place under medical supervision.

Numbness - a sign of difficult and if it lasts a long time or regularly repeats, it is better to consult a doctor.
