Originally, more than a month ago, 71-year-old moncler outlet online, who lives in Dongming County, unintentionally got the waist and abdominal wall, thigh parts of the herpes zoster (folk known as snakeskin sores or wrapped around the waist of the dragon), in the local health centers after the treatment of half a month after the skin healed. Unfortunately, in the herpes scabbed place gradually pain, like a knife cut, a burst of attacks, and had to be hospitalized. Then the pain worsened to an unbearable level, especially at night when the attacks could not sleep, and the pain did not subside even after more than 10 days of treatment. As a result of the unbearable pain of herpes, moncler outlet online the children called "120" hospitalized in Heze City Hospital, due to the combination of long-term rheumatoid arthritis, moncler jackets outlet online the neurology transferred to the rheumatology department. After the treatment of the nerves and pain relief, the pain was reduced, but moncler outlet online the pain was still unbearable.
After a consultation with Dr. Qiao Baoguang, an attending physician in the pain department, it was concluded that this subacute neuralgia after the healing of shingles could be treated with short-course spinal cord electrical stimulation. After a patient explanation, the family readily agreed to spinal cord electrical stimulation surgical treatment. on August 29, the day of the operation there was significant pain relief, after nearly 2 weeks of electrical stimulation treatment, moncler jackets outlet, postherpetic neuralgia basically disappeared, can sleep quietly at night, the quality of life has been greatly improved. After evaluation of the spinal cord electrodes were withdrawn on September 11, moncler jackets outlet Li and his family were very satisfied with the treatment results and were discharged from the hospital on September 14th.
The director of the pain management department, Mr. Miao Shaohua, told reporters that the spinal cord electrical stimulation is the implantation of electrodes in the vertebral canal close to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain through the pulsed electrical stimulation to reduce the change of neural plasticity, and it is the most advanced treatment of intractable neuropathic pain in the world, which is known as the "analgesic pacemaker". ". Post-herpetic neuralgia is the pain left behind after herpes zoster skin healing, caused by viral damage to the nerves, the older the incidence of the higher the more difficult to cure. 3 months of the use of a short course of electrostimulation can be received with good results, while chronic pain requires the implantation of permanent electrodes for long-term electrostimulation treatment.
The pain department of Heze Municipal Hospital has been making breakthroughs in the treatment of neuropathic pain in recent years, and has standardized pulse radiofrequency, intrathecal drug infusion and spinal cord electrical stimulation and other neuromodulation surgeries. In particular, the development of spinal cord electrical stimulation makes intractable neuralgia the ultimate choice, and will benefit more from the majority of neuralgia patients suffering from pain in Heze and neighboring areas.
