“Cervical spondylosis” has plagued her for 14 years and was successfully cured by Shandong Otolaryngology Hospital

Ms. Wang, who had not had a good night’s sleep for a long time, woke up in her dream with a relaxed mood. Lying in bed, she was thinking that she hadn’t seen her granddaughter for a long time. Today Be sure to visit my son’s house. But just when she just sat up and wanted to get out of bed, the familiar feeling of spinning around the world struck again. The weightlessness like falling into an abyss made Ms. Wang helplessly lay down on her forehead.

“Cervical spondylosis” has been bothering her for fourteen years, and although she has not stopped treatment, it has had little effect. Dizziness, which occurs almost every day, has messed up Ms. Wang’s life. Neurosurgery, traditional Chinese medicine, orthopedics and other departments have all registered, and tried various treatment methods such as acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, but every time the drug is stopped, the feeling of dizziness will come back.

“The headache is bearable, the pain of medicine is bearable, but the feeling of dizziness is really unbearable, I can’t lie down when I sleep, I can’t move, I can’t even turn over, I wake up when I move, who is this? It can be tolerated, it is very difficult for people who have not had my disease to understand this feeling.” Speaking of the disease, Ms. Wang was very excited.

Things took a turn for the better when Ms. Wang’s daughter watched a short video. She happened to see the popular science video of otolithiasis by Zhang Daogong, director of Shandong Otolaryngology Hospital/Shandong Vertigo Disease Prevention Center. The more Ms. Wang’s daughter watched, the more she felt that the symptoms of the disease were very consistent with her mother’s symptoms. Not cervical spondylosis? After searching, it was found that many patients with dizziness were cured by Director Zhang Daogong, so she came to Shandong ENT Hospital with her mother with a glimmer of hope.

“When I first came here, I really didn’t have any expectations for this place. No matter how many major hospitals and experts I have visited in the past 14 years, it has no effect. I have already I don’t have any confidence in the cure anymore. I just see how active my daughter is, and I can’t bear to reject her.” Ms. Wang said, “But I didn’t expect it to be a miracle! My 14-year illness, ten days! Only ten days. Just cure me!”

“Director Zhang, can my disease be cured?”

“Don’t worry!”

The two words brought great hope to Ms. Wang. The new term “otolithiasis” entered Ms. Wang’s world. After the manipulation was reset, Ms. Wang’s heart was once again boundless. Full of confidence, “My illness can definitely be cured here!” In this way, Ms. Wang was admitted to the ward of the Vertigo Disease Department of Shandong Otolaryngology Hospital.

According to Lu Yafeng, director of the Department of Vertigo Diseases of Shandong Otolaryngology Hospital, Ms. Wang’s condition is not complicated and is a typical symptom of otolithiasis, but the patient’s treatment process itself is more representative Sex, many patients have a similar situation, sudden dizziness, no clear cause, misdiagnosed as cervical spondylosis, and then treated accordingly. However, because otolithiasis itself is a recurring disease, and the time of each attack is very short, sometimes it is treated according to cervical spondylosis. As the dizziness of the patient goes by, it will be mistaken for the treatment of cervical spondylosis to be effective. If you get dizzy again, you should still follow the treatment of cervical spondylosis, and the treatment will not be thorough. This experience represents how many patients go to the doctor. Because otolithiasis is recurrent and self-healing, these characteristics make many people who do not understand otolithiasis mistakenly believe that the treatment of other diseases is effective, so they have been insisting on the wrong method of treatment, resulting in the inability to fundamentally solve the problem. question.

As for Ms. Wang’s treatment, Director Lu Yafeng also introduced that apart from reduction and medication, vestibular rehabilitation training is also an indispensable part of the treatment process. In the early stage of treatment, when the otolith is still unstable, it is not suitable for vestibular rehabilitation training, and it is necessary to limit the patient’s head movement. To promote recovery, the other part is to exercise the patient’s vestibular function through vestibular rehabilitation training, and promote the patient’s brain to gradually adapt. Only in this way can the dizziness and unsteadiness of the patient after otolith reset be solved, so as to prevent the recurrence of otolithiasis.

“I’m in a very good mood now, and my whole body is relieved. I thank Director Zhang for giving me a second life. I really thank Director Zhang and Director Lu and the entire vertigo medical team.” Ms. Wang, who is about to be discharged from the hospital, is in high spirits, and when she talks about being discharged from the hospital, she is full of plans, “Director Lu said that I will be able to do normal activities in more than half a month. After the epidemic is over, I must go out for a walk to make up for it. I have regretted it for many years. Because the illness has been delayed for more than ten years, now I have finally recovered, and I can easily return to a normal life…”
