Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine external plaster for treating mass torticollis and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Mass torticollis is a common type of congenital muscular torticollis, which mainly occurs in children, especially in the neonatal and infant stages. This disease is mainly caused by fibrous contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side, which then forms a mass, resulting in the head tilting and leaning forward to the affected side, and the mandible turning to the healthy side, seriously affecting the head posture and motor function of the child. If not treated in time, with the growth of the child, a series of serious secondary deformities such as facial asymmetry and scoliosis of the cervical spine may occur, which not only affects the appearance of the child, but may also have a great negative impact on their mental health and future quality of life. The cause of mass torticollis is not yet fully understood, but most scholars believe that it is related to factors such as birth injury, abnormal fetal position, and abnormal intrauterine pressure. During the delivery process, if the fetal head is in an improper position or is squeezed by the birth canal, it may cause injury to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which then leads to fibrosis and contracture. In addition, genetic factors, abnormal fetal posture in the uterus, etc. may also be related to the occurrence of this disease.

[0003] Currently, the treatment methods for mass torticollis mainly include physical therapy, drug therapy, and surgical therapy, etc. Physical therapy includes: (1) Manual massage, which is one of the commonly used treatment methods for early mass torticollis. Through professional techniques, the affected sternocleidomastoid muscle is massaged to promote local blood circulation, relieve muscle spasm, and reduce the mass. However, manual massage requires professional doctors or rehabilitation therapists to operate, and the treatment cycle is relatively long, requiring parents and children to adhere to it for a long time. Many families are difficult to ensure the continuity and standardization of treatment due to time, economy, etc., thus affecting the treatment effect. (2) Traction therapy, which uses a traction device to traction the child's head to stretch the affected sternocleidomastoid muscle and improve the muscle contracture state. However, traction therapy requires strict control of the traction force and direction, otherwise it may cause injury to the child's neck. Moreover, the child may feel uncomfortable during the traction therapy, and the cooperation degree is relatively low, which also increases the difficulty of treatment.

[0004] Drug therapy, clinically sometimes uses drugs such as local injection of glucocorticoids to reduce the inflammatory reaction and the size of the mass. However, drug therapy may bring some side effects, such as local infection, muscle atrophy, endocrine disorders, etc. Especially for child patients, their physical development is not yet mature, and their tolerance to drugs is relatively low, and the risk of drug side effects is relatively high.

[0005] Surgical treatment is usually considered for older patients who are ineffective with conservative treatment. The surgical methods mainly include sternocleidomastoid muscle tenotomy, elongation, etc., to relieve muscle contracture through surgery. However, surgical treatment has a relatively large trauma, and complications such as scar formation and limited neck movement may occur after surgery. In addition, surgery requires a certain recovery time, which brings a relatively large psychological burden and economic pressure to the child and the family.

[0006] Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of mass torticollis. External application of traditional Chinese medicine can directly act on the lesion site, and through the penetration and absorption of drugs, it can play the role of detumescence and dissipating nodules, relieving spasm and pain. A variety of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the blood circulation of local tissues, promote the subsidence of inflammation, relieve muscle spasm, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Moreover, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively safe with fewer side effects, and it is more suitable for children patients.

[0007] However, there are few types of traditional Chinese medicine external preparations for mass torticollis on the current market, and the existing preparations have deficiencies in aspects such as drug composition and preparation process, resulting in uneven curative effects. Some preparations may not be able to give full play to the synergistic effect of each drug due to unreasonable drug compatibility; or the preparation process is not scientific enough, affecting the stability and effectiveness of the drugs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a traditional Chinese medicine external plaster for treating mass torticollis, which is used for treating mass torticollis. At the same time, a preparation method of the traditional Chinese medicine external plaster is proposed, and the preparation method is simple and easy to operate, so as to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the drug.
