The first case in the central region!This treatment allows paraplegia patients to "stand up" again

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Customer September 5th (Reporter Li Qing correspondent Liu Yu) Ms. Zhang, who is in her 50s, has urine incontinence and incomplete paraplegia. Lost hope for life. Recently, at Wuhan University People's Hospital (Hubei Provincial People's Hospital of Hubei Province ) After the Pain Department undergone Intellis spinal cord electrostatic stimulation, it can stand alone and short -distance walking alone to basically restore the ability to take care of self -care. It is reported that this is also the first case in the central region.

in surgery.

Ms. Zhang had a spinal cord tumor in the chest segment. Three months ago, her condition changed sharply, and she had incontinence. The action could only be completely relying on wheelchairs. After receiving spinal cord dispery surgery, her limb function was slightly improved, but there were still symptoms such as severe pain and incomplete paraplegia. The family decided to go to the Pain of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, which is well -known nationwide in the treatment of spinal cord injury pain in the treatment of spinal cord injury and pain.

Associate Professor Jia Yifan, deputy director of the Department of Pain, led the team to comprehensively analyze the condition that she decided to perform temporary spinal cord electrocable implantation for her (first phase test). After implanting spinal cord stimulation more than two months ago, Ms. Zhang's pain was significantly reduced. With the rehabilitation treatment of the Department of Pain, her urination control and physical activity were improved to varying degrees two weeks later. However, as the temporary stimulator was pulled out, the patient's pain, the lower limb muscle strength and urination function began to increase. This has increased the willingness of Ms. Zhang and her family to continue to treat. Associate Professor Jia Yifan led the team of the pain department to decide to perform the second phase of spinal electrical stimulation (permanent electrical stimulation implantation).

Ms. Zhang standing up.

It took only two hours for surgery, which was quite successful. At present, Ms. Zhang's pain is significantly reduced. She can stand alone and walks on a short distance. The stool is controllable. When she was discharged from the hospital, she held the doctor's gratefulness and said, "Thank you for letting me reconcile the new life, and let me stand up again!"

Professor Xia Zhongyuan, director of the Department of Pain, introduced that 25%to 94%of patients after spinal cord injury will continue pain. Among them, neuropathological pain (NEP) accounts for about 50%, which is also a clinical problem that plagues patients and doctors. The Pain Department of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University has been working hard to continue innovation and discovery in the field of pain treatment, and strives to provide patients with the best diagnosis and plan. The implantation of the first Intellis spinal neurotic stimulation system in the central region marked an important breakthrough in clinical treatment of spinal cord electrical stimulus therapy in clinical treatment.

Dr. Wang Juan, the department, introduced that with the advancement of science and technology, especially the development of artificial intelligence, more and more high -tech technologies are applied to pain clinical treatment, and patients have also obtained a more intelligent and convenient treatment experience. Intellis is the smallest nerve stimulator in the global spinal cord stimulus system. Compared with the traditional nerve stimulator, its weight, long use time, fast charging, only 29.1 grams. After 9 years of use, the battery capacity is still greater than 95%. Three times faster than the traditional lithium ion battery. At the same time, different stimulus parameters can be set according to the patient's posture to provide personalized treatment solutions for patients. Compared with the previous spinal cord stimulators, the nuclear magnetic resonance can be performed. Intellis spinal cord stimulator is compatible with 1.5T's unlimited part of nuclear magnetic safety scanning.

According to statistics, the Department of Pain of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University (Hubei Provincial Hospital) is more than 100 cases of spinal cord stimulation for patients with spinal cord electrocomputing, accounting for about half of Hubei Province. The promotion of this operation provides a new clinical treatment for patient pain.
