Methods to promote the awakening of vegetative coma for four years generally include medication, hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment, physiotherapy, Chinese medicine treatment, affection therapy and stimulation therapy.
1. Medication: For example, piracetam and cytarabine are routinely used to promote awakening by nourishing nerves, brain cells and improving circulation.
2. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment: It helps to rapidly increase the oxygen storage and content of brain tissue, increase the blood flow of vertebral-basilar artery, and help to increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the reticular activating system and the brain stem, which helps to promote awakening.
3. Physical therapy: Physiotherapy, exercise therapy and neuromuscular electrical stimulation can help promote the recovery of limb function and prevent complications.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment: local acupuncture or injection of brain-opening drugs such as Qingkailing injection can help promote awakening.
5. Affinity therapy: chatting with the patient more often can help promote awakening.
6. Stimulation therapy: such as deep brain stimulation and treatment and high cervical spinal cord electrical stimulation, which helps to improve the physiological electrical activity of the brain, which is conducive to promoting awakening.
In order to achieve better therapeutic effects, it is recommended that family members should give patients wakefulness-promoting treatments under the guidance of specialists.
