How to treat hand muscle atrophy?
Hand muscle atrophy needs to find out the cause, diagnose the cause correctly and treat it according to the cause. Rational use of drugs to relieve muscle atrophy and drugs to nourish nerves, such as mecobalamin and vitamin B, combined with rehabilitation physiotherapy, for comprehensive treatment. The causes of hand muscle atrophy are different, and the treatment schemes are also different, as follows:

1, disuse atrophy: disuse atrophy or malnutrition atrophy need to strengthen exercise and nutrition to restore muscle atrophy;

2, peripheral nerve compression: common for ulnar nerve compression or ulnar nerve injury, hand muscle atrophy. Muscle atrophy of the hand can lead to claw-shaped hand deformity, which is mainly caused by compression of ulnar nerve. It is necessary to judge the degree of ulnar nerve compression in the elbow. Early rest of elbow joint and nutritional nerve drugs, such as oral mecobalamin capsules, can promote nerve recovery. If the electromyography proves that the ulnar nerve is seriously injured, the ulnar nerve can be released to relieve the compression of the ulnar nerve, thus restoring muscle atrophy;

3, nerve rupture: early diagnosis, timely treatment, some need to be repaired. Functional exercise and nutritional nerve therapy should be carried out after repair to promote rehabilitation in an all-round way;

4. Central nervous atrophy: such as motor neuron disease, Hirayama disease and other distal progressive muscle atrophy, the cause of which is still unclear. However, neurotrophic drugs can be used to promote muscle recovery through rehabilitation physiotherapy.
