What good method can quickly reduce the muscle tension of children?

1 Remove factors that aggravate spasm (such as cold, pain, urinary system infection, constipation, joint contracture, excessive exertion during passive activities, etc.). ). Take proper posture to avoid muscle tension. Taking the right posture in bed or wheelchair as early as possible is an important measure to control spasm.

2 Joint range of motion training This is the most basic method to deal with spasms. Do it at least twice a day for about 20 minutes each time. Both active and passive range of motion training can prevent joint contracture and limited motion. The activity process should be gentle, slow and smooth, reaching the full range of joints.

3. Standing with weight training can produce good static stretching for hip flexor, knee flexor and ankle-plantar flexor, which can reverse early contracture and reduce the excitability of stretching reflex, thus relieving muscle spasm. Standing training should be conducted at least twice a day for 30-45 minutes each time.

Spa includes full-body electric bathtub, Hubbard bath, walking bath, water sports pool training, water walking training and so on.

5 According to the different treatment sites, cold water, ice packs and other methods can be selected for cold therapy, and the action time needs to last 10 ~ 30 min. Once the muscles are cooled enough to relieve spasticity, this effect can last for1~1.5 h. ..

The commonly used hyperthermia methods in clinic are: wax therapy, hot steam therapy, damp-heat therapy and so on. For patients with insensitive or sensory loss, special protection is needed during the treatment to prevent burns.

7 Functional electrical stimulation (FES) FES can relieve muscle spasm and enhance muscle strength. Commonly used FES include therapeutic electrical stimulation, spinal cord electrical stimulation, low frequency, intermittent electricity and various low frequency pulse currents [3]. The commonly used stimulation intensity is usually 20 ~ 50 Hz, 20 min each time, twice a day.

Second, medication.

There are many drugs that can be used for spasmolysis in clinic, which can be divided into the following categories: (1) neurotransmitter inhibitors, such as baclofen, piracetam, glycine, etc. (2) Benzodiazepines such as diazepam and clonazepam; (3) Drugs that affect ion current, such as dantroline sodium and darrendine; (4) Drugs acting on monoamines, such as tizanidine and clonidine; ⑤ Others, such as cyclobenzaprine and mino. Mina, a skeletal muscle relaxant, and baclofen, a neurotransmitter inhibitor, are commonly used in clinic.

Third, Chinese medicine treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spasm is a pathological change caused by tendon dystrophy. Du meridian is damaged, blood stasis stops, yang can't spread to limbs, and tendons are softened and nourished. Therefore, at present, most people think that the spasm after spinal cord injury is mainly caused by the damage of du meridian. Traditional empirical prescriptions include: Jiejing mixture, Jiejing decoction and so on. It can be added and subtracted according to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, thus playing a better role in spasmolysis. In addition, according to the principle of meridians, acupuncture is used to treat spasticity in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. Traditional massage techniques can relax tendons and activate collaterals, promote qi and blood circulation, and relax muscles, thus effectively relieving spasms.
