Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines, and particularly relates to a plaster for treating cervical spondylosis and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] After the 21st century, with the rapid development of economy and electronic technology, people have to face various electronic devices for a long time, which leads to a series of physical discomfort and pain caused by lack of exercise. Among them, the clinical symptoms caused by neck problems have an increasing impact on people's health. Cervical spondylosis ranks second in the "Top Ten Intractable Diseases in the World" announced by the World Health Organization. It can be seen that cervical spondylosis is an invisible killer of our health problems. Among them, among all types of cervical spondylosis, cervical vertigo accounts for 9.4% to 18% of all cervical spondylosis, which shows that cervical vertigo accounts for a high proportion. In clinical practice, cervical vertigo has become the primary factor for clinical treatment due to its high incidence in the middle-aged and elderly population. Cervical vertebral body or muscle damage caused by various reasons (hypertrophic changes in small joints, degenerative changes in cervical vertebral body, trauma, deformity, etc.), which leads to local diseased bones and joints or muscles compressing the vertebral artery, excessive twisting or stimulating the sympathetic nerves, causing cerebral ischemia and producing symptoms mainly characterized by vertigo. The main clinical manifestation is vertigo, accompanied by various symptoms, including headache, neck and shoulder pain, and the most obvious feature is that the vertigo symptoms worsen when the head and neck position changes, accompanied by nausea, tinnitus, blurred vision, and even unsteady walking and cataplexy. In recent years, with the development of mobile phones and computers and the extension of working hours, the incidence of cervical vertigo has shown an upward trend not only among the middle-aged and elderly groups, but also among the young.

[0003] In modern treatment, Western medicine often uses drugs or surgery to reduce the pressure of local muscles and bones on blood vessels to improve a series of clinical symptoms. However, due to the side effects of Western medicine and the high cost of surgery, many patients have turned their attention to traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Summary of the invention
