中医治愈病例分析
黄文川博士
这里再介绍我近期用针灸、中药等成功治愈的二个病例,一来让大家分享我成功治愈病人后的喜悦,二来让大家了解一些医学、针灸和中医方面的知识,了解什么病症可以针灸中医治疗,了解诊断和治疗疾病是一个很复杂、很高深的学问,不是门外汉想的那么简单。
患者Ema 女,20岁,中国留学生。因双手麻木二个月来诊。麻木夜间加重,因麻木而影响睡眠。患者因怀疑自己患了颈椎病而恐慌,家长也劝她快点回国,以免延误治疗。患者因看到我的文章,并有朋友推荐,知道我在神经、骨伤方面有经验,而来我处就医。我详细询问了患者的发病过程,并给予仔细的神经系统查体。上肢的腱反射、感觉未发现异常,颈椎检查也未发现神经根刺激征。从以上检查我基本排除了颈椎病的诊断。再检查患者的后背,发现颈、肩、后背的肌肉非常紧张,并能触摸到皮下条索状硬结,患者有肌肉劳损的情况。根据患者的发病过程、临床表现及我的检查,判断患者的双手麻木是有引起肩背筋膜炎的。
按肩背筋膜炎针灸治疗一个疗程,并给予活血通络的中药,患者的双手麻木消失了。她高兴地告诉她国内的父母,双手麻木只是后背、颈部的肌肉劳损和炎症引起,而不是颈椎病等压迫神经,她可以安心地继续读书了。
患者的肩背筋膜炎是有长期做计算机工作引起的。长期一个姿势的工作,致使肩背肌肉紧张,紧张的肌肉使局部血液循环减少,长期的血液循环减少使肌肉纤维发生炎症,炎症致使肌肉纤维的增生,长期的纤维增生产生条索样硬结,条索样硬结进一步刺激肌肉紧张,形成局部的恶性循环。早期的预防和积极治疗可阻断恶性循环的发生。后背肌肉的紧张和条索状硬结可刺激脊柱旁的交感神经链,因此患者感觉双手麻木,上肢发冷、发胀,但医生给予神经系统查体时并未发现异常,这可以与颈椎病相区别,这也是交感神经链损伤的一个特点。因交感神经受刺激患者可有咽干、胸闷、头晕、头痛、乏力等症状。虽然肩背筋膜炎不是很严重的病症,但患者非常痛苦,并且易与其它疾病混淆,易造成误诊、误治。针灸治疗可使患者的后背肌肉放松、并可消除无菌性炎症,中药可活血通络,达到治疗此病的目的。但要想完全彻底地治愈此病,还要需要患者的配合。长期一个姿势工作的人,须不间断的变换姿势;可以工作30—40分钟,然后站起来活动活动上肢;有规律地参加一些体育活动,如游泳、打球、跑步,实在没有时间也可以在家跳跳绳、做做俯卧撑、仰卧起坐等活动,这些都会对此病有帮助。如果患者的病情太重,治疗效果不佳,经过预防、锻炼仍不见好转,也许应改换一个适合的工作。
患者路先生,80岁,因走路迈不开步20多天而来就诊。患者从前有腰腿痛病,这次患者走路困难,患者和家属都认为是腰腿痛病加重引起,因此随去推拿治疗,腰腿痛有所减轻,但仍走路迈不开步伐。经朋友介绍来到我的诊所。检查时,让患者走直线不能,让患者单腿站立不能。神经系统查体时还发现,左鼻唇沟稍变浅,伸舌稍左偏,左腹壁反射稍减低,左膝反射稍活跃,左巴彬氏征阴性,因此我怀疑大脑有病变。再询问患者的病史,知道二年前有一次轻微的“中风”,当时只有语言不清,二个月后恢复正常。因此,根据病史和神经系统检查我诊断为脑中风(腔隙性脑梗塞)。这个病例是脑中风影响了患者大脑的锥体系统和锥体外系统,造成患者走路步伐小,走直线不稳的,其实与患者的腰腿疼没有一点关系。
给予针灸和中药治疗。针灸以头针为主,中药以补阳还五汤加减,三个星期后,患者可走直线,可单腿站立,走路可迈开步伐,基本恢复正常。患者初诊时给我的第一感觉也是想到是不是腰腿病,但我神经系统检查后排除了此想法。仔细的神经系统查体让我发现了有意义的体征,让我想到脑中风的可能。如果我没有神经内科的基础,也许我发现不了这些体征,因为患者的症状太轻微了。如果患者有偏瘫、失语等典型症状,诊断就一目了然,也不需要我再费口舌了。如果不按脑中风用头针和中药治疗,而按腰腿疼治疗只是局部的针灸、推拿,我想患者是不会有很好的治疗效果的。这也是我一再强调的明确诊断的重要性。
无论是病例一的手麻,还是病例二的走路不稳,都是疾病的一个症状,都是患者亲身感受到的痛苦,究竟是什么疾病患者不很明了,但是患者会根据症状联想到最常见、最普通的疾病,或者最严重的疾病。手麻会想到颈椎病,走路不稳就想到已经患的腰腿疼,这是正常的思维,但医生一定要打破这种习惯思维,利用医学知识,正确判断患者的病情,选择合适的治疗。(浏览更多医学文章,请登陆 www.drwin.co.nz 黄博士诊所095296185)

My clinical experience of treating shoulder pain

By Dr Win Huang

acupuncture-for-laiShoulder pain is a common problem right now, it is only symptom, Shoulder pain involves any pain in or around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. The rotator cuff in the shoulder is made up of four tendons. These tendons give the shoulder a wide range of motion. the tendons pass underneath a rigid bony arch in the shoulder. The most common cause of shoulder pain is when the tendons become trapped under this arch. The compressed tendons become inflamed or damaged. (more…)
