Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of dietary therapy health care products, and in particular relates to a nutritious food for auxiliary treatment of pediatric scoliosis. Background Art

[0002] Research has found that 10 to 14 years old is the second growth peak for children and adolescents, and is also the high-incidence age group for abnormal spinal curvature. This is mainly due to the rapid growth of height with age, the relatively insufficient calcium and phosphorus content in bones, the incomplete development of muscles and ligaments around the spine, the increased academic burden, and poor sitting posture. Scoliosis is closely related to daily living habits, nutritional status and other factors. Genetic factors, environmental factors and their interactions can all lead to scoliosis. At present, most scoliosis is treated with simple correction devices, without supplementing with nutritious foods to enhance the treatment effect. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above defects or deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a nutritional special food formula for auxiliary treatment of pediatric scoliosis in order to solve the above problems in the prior art.

[0004] Its main technical solution is: a nutritious food for auxiliary treatment of scoliosis in children, including the following ingredients: 100-150 parts of high-calcium milk powder; 20-40 parts of millet instant powder; 10-15 parts of Poria cocos; 10-15 parts of yam instant powder; 10-15 parts of jujube instant powder; 10-15 parts of wolfberry instant powder; 10-15 parts of hawthorn instant powder; 10-15 parts of lentil powder.

[0005] Preferably, the calcium milk powder, millet instant powder, Poria cocos, yam instant powder, jujube instant powder, wolfberry instant powder, hawthorn instant powder and lentil powder are mixed evenly and then passed through a 30-mesh sieve.

[0006] Preferably, the high calcium milk powder contains 800 mg / 100 g of calcium.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0008] The high calcium milk powder of the present invention is rich in calcium, which is the main mineral component for building bones and teeth. Childhood is a critical period for the rapid growth and development of bones. Drinking high calcium milk in moderation can strengthen bones. In addition, an appropriate amount of calcium intake helps maintain the conduction of the nervous system and increases the flexibility of muscles, which is beneficial to the growth and development of children. Chinese yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach and promote the absorption of nutrients; white hyacinth bean has the effects of harmonizing the middle and removing dampness, relieving heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and stopping diarrhea and dysentery; hawthorn has the functions of strengthening the stomach and digestion, boosting appetite, promoting qi and dispersing blood stasis, and removing turbidity and reducing fat; Poria strengthens the spleen, promotes water and infiltrates dampness. Red dates have the functions of tonifying the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and promoting body fluid, nourishing blood and calming the mind, and protecting the liver. Lycium barbarum has the functions of nourishing the liver and kidney, replenishing essence and qi, improving eyesight and calming the mind, and improving blood color, growing muscles, and strengthening tendons and bones. The compatibility of various medicines plays the functions of replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen, replenishing the liver and kidney, growing muscles, and strengthening tendons and bones, thereby playing an auxiliary therapeutic role for scoliosis in children. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0010] Example:

[0011] 1. Diagnostic criteria

[0012] 1.1 Western medicine diagnostic standards, refer to "Chinese Chiropractic"

[0013] (1) No history of trauma; (2) The scapulae and iliac crests on both sides are not at the same level, or the spine deviates from the midline of the body; (3) The Adam's flexion test is positive; (4) The Cobb angle is ≥10°.

[0014] 1.2 TCM syndrome diagnosis criteria, refer to TCM diagnosis and treatment guidelines

[0015] Main symptoms: spinal curvature, inability to bend or stretch forward, low back pain, soreness and weakness.

[0016] Associated symptoms: shortness of breath, fatigue, poor appetite, chest tightness and pain.

[0017] Tongue and pulse: pale tongue with little coating, soft and weak pulse.

[0018] 1.3 Inclusion criteria: Patients who meet all of the following criteria can be included in this trial:

[0019] (1) Adolescents aged 10 to 18 years old; (2) Meet the diagnostic criteria for AIS and have a full-length spine X-ray in an upright position; (3) Patients have bilateral scapular asymmetry and the spine deviates from the midline of the body; (4) Cobb angle is selected to be 10° to 40°; (5) Non-allergic constitution; (6) Patients and their families must carefully read the informed consent form and voluntarily participate in this trial

[0020] 2. Patient enrollment

[0021] This study used simple random grouping method to screen the observation subjects who met the requirements. The 80 included patients were numbered according to the time of enrollment, and 120 random numbers were selected using the random number table method. The 120 random numbers were arranged in ascending order. The first 60 patients were set as the experimental group and the last 60 patients as the control group.

[0022] 3 Treatment methods

[0023] 3.1 Control group

[0024] (1) Use the Boston thoracolumbar brace to correct the scoliotic spine. The brace needs to be customized according to the patient's scoliosis. When wearing the brace, a cotton pad should be used to separate the brace from the body to prevent skin damage caused by direct contact and friction. The brace needs to be worn every day for at least 18 hours a day and only taken off when bathing and exercising. The wearing time needs to be gradually adapted from a short period of time. In the first week, wear it for at least 2-3 days to adapt, and then gradually increase the wearing time. It is best to complete the adaptation process within 3 weeks. Skin care should be done during daily wear to avoid pressure sores and infections. Check the fit of the brace every day and adjust it in time according to the correction situation. It is recommended to have an outpatient review after 3 months.

[0025] (2) Add acupuncture therapy. The acupoints are selected based on the acupoints for scoliosis in the book Acupuncture Therapy. The Jiaji points on both sides of the patient's spine and the acupoints on the bladder meridian are selected, and then combined with related acupoints.

[0026] Main acupoints: bilateral jiaji points (scoliosis), shenshu, and pishu. Acupoints: bilateral zusanli, weizhong, yanglingquan, chengshan, and kunlun. Acupuncture was performed by acupuncturists with rich clinical work experience using 1.5-inch Quanhe brand disposable acupuncture needles (Yu Food and Drug Administration Machinery Production License 20130015). Specific methods: acupuncture selected acupoints, straight piercing 0.8-1.0 inches, using the tonifying method, giving moderate stimulation, and then moxibustion operation, igniting moxa sticks, placing them at the needle handle, and the patient feels warm but not burning. The needles are retained for 30 minutes; acupuncture was performed once every other day, and both groups were intervened for 3 months.

[0027] 3.2 Experimental group: Based on the control group, the patients were given 25g of special food twice a day. (Each group had 20 people taking special food of one proportion, for a total of three groups)

[0028] Special food (Prescription 1: high calcium milk powder 100 (calcium 800mg / 100g), yam instant powder 10, jujube instant powder 1015, wolfberry instant powder 10, hawthorn (instant powder) 10; lentil powder 10, Poria 10.)

[0029] Special food (prescription 2: high calcium milk powder 120 (calcium 800mg / 100g), yam instant powder 12; jujube instant powder 12, wolfberry instant powder 12, hawthorn (instant powder) 12; lentil powder 12, Poria 12)

[0030] Special food (Prescription 3: high calcium milk powder 150 (calcium 800mg / 100g), yam instant powder 15; jujube instant powder 15, wolfberry instant powder 15, hawthorn (instant powder) 15; lentil powder 15, Poria 15.)

[0031] 4 Observation content

[0032] 4.1 Baseline information

[0033] The baseline data of the two groups of patients, including gender, age, scoliosis location, VAS score, Cobb angle, and TCMSS, were compared to determine whether the baseline data were consistent.

[0034] 4.2 Observation indicators

[0035] 4.2.1 Visual Analogue Scale

[0036] Visual Analog Scale (VAS): See (Attached Table), used to evaluate the patient's pain level. The method is to mark a scale of 0 to 10 on a 10-cm long floating ruler. 0 points means that the patient has no pain, 10 points means extremely severe pain that is unbearable, and 3 points or less means that the pain is mild and tolerable, and does not affect daily study and life; 4 to 6 points indicate that the patient feels more obvious pain and affects night rest, and daily life and study are not greatly affected; 7 to 10 points indicate that the patient feels strong pain and is unbearable, which seriously affects daily life. The patient marks the degree of pain and the doctor gives the corresponding score.

[0037] 4.2.2 Cobb angle

[0038] Both groups took standing X-rays of the entire spine before and after treatment, and the Cobb angle was measured. Measurement method: Use a ruler and a protractor to measure on the patient's X-ray anteroposterior film. The end vertebra (End Vertebrae, EV) where the scoliosis is located is selected. The angle between the vertical line at the level of the upper edge of the upper vertebra (Upper End Vertebrae, UEV) and the vertical line at the level of the lower edge of the lower vertebra (Lower End Vertebrae, LEV) is the Cobb angle. In order to ensure the objectivity and accuracy of the measurement results and minimize human errors, two people measure the Cobb angle separately, and the average of the results is taken as the final Cobb angle.

[0039] 5. The efficacy evaluation standards were formulated with reference to Chinese Chiropractic and Practical Orthopedics.

[0040] Cured: Clinical symptoms completely disappear, X-ray results show that the scoliosis deformity disappears, and the Cobb angle is less than 5°;

[0041] Markedly effective: Clinical symptoms basically disappeared, X-ray results showed that the scoliosis was significantly improved, and the Cobb angle was less than 10°;

[0042] Improvement: Clinical symptoms are alleviated, and X-rays show that the scoliosis is slightly improved, with the Cobb angle improved by more than 5°;

[0043] Ineffective: The patient's symptoms have no significant change or the condition worsens, and the Cobb angle improves by less than 5°.

[0044] 6. The TCM efficacy evaluation criteria are evaluated in accordance with the "Guidelines for Clinical Research of New Chinese Medicines (Trial)" and the "TCM Disease Diagnosis and Efficacy Criteria":

[0045] Recovery: clinical symptoms and signs disappear or almost disappear, and TCMSS decreases by ≥95%;

[0046] Markedly effective: clinical symptoms and signs were significantly improved, 95%>TCMSS decreased by ≥70%;

[0047] Effective: clinical symptoms and signs improved compared with before, 70%>TCMSS decreased ≥30%;

[0048] Ineffective: There is no significant change in clinical symptoms and signs, and TCMSS decreases by less than 30%.

[0049] Effective rate = (TCMSS before treatment - TCMSS after treatment) / TCMSS before treatment × 100%

[0050] 7. Safety evaluation

[0051] During the treatment, needle phobia, allergies, infections and other discomforts were observed in both groups of patients. When they occurred, timely symptomatic treatment was given and the information was recorded in the table.

[0052] 8. Results

[0053] Comparison of the effective rate of Cobb angle after effective treatment (Table 1)

[0054]

[0055] Note: P=0.000<0.01, the difference is statistically significant.

[0056] Comparison of TCMSS effective rate after treatment (Table 2)

[0057]

[0058] Note: P=0.035<0.05, the difference is statistically significant.

[0059] In summary, the high-calcium milk powder in the present invention strengthens bones, and an appropriate amount of calcium intake helps to maintain the conduction of the nervous system and increase muscle flexibility. The combination of various Chinese medicines can replenish qi and spleen, nourish the liver and kidneys, grow muscles, and strengthen tendons and bones, thereby playing an auxiliary therapeutic role in children's scoliosis.
