[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-4 , the multifunctional integrated cervical fixing medicinal pillow of the present utility model includes a pillowcase 1, a pillow core assembly and a heightening cotton pad. The pillowcase 1 is sleeved outside the pillow core assembly. The pillow core assembly includes a neck pillow core 3 and two side sleeping pillow cores 2. The two side sleeping pillow cores 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the neck pillow core 3. A cranial fossa supporting area is formed between the two side sleeping pillow cores 2 and the neck pillow core 3. The heightening cotton pad is placed on the pillowcase 1 and located in the area directly above the cranial fossa supporting area for compensating the depression of the sunken cranial fossa supporting area. The top view of the side sleeping pillow core 2 is an "L" - shaped structure, and an arc - shaped chamfer is arranged at the inner corner of the side sleeping pillow core 2. The neck pillow core 3 is a cylindrical structure. The two side sleeping pillow cores 2 are arranged oppositely and form a U - shaped structure, and the neck pillow core 3 is arranged at the opening of the U - shaped structure. The inside of the neck pillow core 3 and the inside of the side sleeping pillow core 2 are filled with traditional Chinese medicine.

[0032] Most patients after anterior cervical spine surgery are dialectically diagnosed with "qi stagnation and blood stasis" in traditional Chinese medicine. This is mainly due to qi stagnation leading to blood stasis, or blood stasis leading to qi stagnation. To solve this problem, in this embodiment:

[0033] The inside of the neck pillow core 3 is filled with drugs for promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and drugs for calming the mind and assisting sleep. The inside of the side sleeping pillow core 2 is filled with buckwheat husks and drugs for calming the mind and assisting sleep. The drugs for promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis include Aristolochia mollissima Hance, Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk., Dry Ginger, Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim., Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat., Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth., etc.; the drugs for calming the mind and assisting sleep include Albizia julibrissin Durazz., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Aucklandia lappa Decne., Artemisia argyi Levl. & Vaniot, Styrax benzoin Dryand., Santalum album L., etc.

[0034] Through the above technical solutions, when the patient uses the cervical fixation medicinal pillow after surgery, the treatment is mainly carried out in three aspects:

[0035] Drug penetration, mainly through direct contact with the skin for treatment;

[0036] Stimulation of meridian conduction;

[0037] The inhalation effect of the nasal cavity achieves the therapeutic effect through three ways.

[0038] The external penetration of traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate acupoints is mainly:

[0039] Fengfu acupoint, which belongs to the Governor Vessel and is located at the nape of the neck. When it is directly above 1 inch behind the midpoint of the posterior hairline and directly below the external occipital protuberance, in the depression between the two trapezius muscles on both sides. Stimulating this acupoint has the effects of clearing heat and dispersing wind, and opening the orifices to restore consciousness;

[0040] Anmian acupoint, which is located at the nape of the neck, at the midpoint of the line connecting Yifeng acupoint and Fengchi acupoint. This acupoint is an extra meridian acupoint. Stimulating this acupoint has a good hypnotic effect.

[0041] The heightening cotton pad includes a first cotton pad cover 5 and a posterior brain cotton pad 4. The first cotton pad cover 5 is fixed on the pillowcase 1 and is located in the area directly above the brain fossa supporting area. The posterior brain cotton pad 4 is placed on the upper surface of the first cotton pad cover 5.

[0042] The posterior brain cotton pad 4 is detachably placed on the upper surface of the first cotton pad cover 5. When the patient lies flat and needs to raise the back of the head, the posterior brain cotton pad 4 can be placed in the middle of the first cotton pad cover 5. When the patient's neck presses on the neck pillow core 3, the posterior brain cotton pad 4 can support and raise the back of the patient's head, making the patient more comfortable when lying flat.

[0043] The heightening cotton pad further includes two second cotton pad covers 501 and two side-sleeping cotton pads 6. The two second cotton pad covers 501 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the first cotton pad cover 5. The arrangement direction of the two second cotton pad covers 501 is along the length direction of the pillow. The side-sleeping cotton pads 6 are arranged inside the second cotton pad covers 501.

[0044] The setting of the two second cotton pad covers 501, combined with the side-sleeping cotton pads 6 sewn and fixed inside the second cotton pad covers 501, makes the two second cotton pad covers 501 exactly fall above the two side-sleeping pillow cores 2 respectively, which can raise the height at the position of the side-sleeping pillow cores 2 and make the patient more comfortable when lying on the side. The setting that the first cotton pad cover 5 is sewn on the upper surface of the pillowcase 1 and the side-sleeping cotton pads 6 are fixed inside the second cotton pad covers 501 makes the pillow more integrated. The first cotton pad cover 5 and the side-sleeping cotton pads 6 cannot fall off the pillowcase 1, which is more convenient for people to tidy up and use.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4, considering the situation that the patient is sleeping on his side and does not need to use the side sleeping pad 6 for elevation;

[0046] In some other embodiments, the two second cotton pad covers 501 are fixedly connected to an elastic rope loop 7 on one side away from the center of the first cotton pad cover 5, and buttons 8 are sewn on the upper surface of the pillowcase 1 near the two sides. After the second cotton pad cover 501 on one side is folded toward the second cotton pad cover 501 on the opposite side, the elastic rope loop 7 on the folded second cotton pad cover 501 can be hung on the button 8 of the pillowcase 1 on the opposite side.

[0047] Through the above technical solution, when the patient does not need to raise the height of the side sleeping position, the second cotton pad cover 501 on that side can be folded to the opposite side, and the elastic rope loop 7 on the second cotton pad cover 501 on that side can be hooked on the button 8 of the countermeasure pillowcase 1 to fix the second cotton pad cover 501.

[0048] The height of the cervical pillow core 3 affects the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. The normal anatomical structure of the cervical spine is: thick in the front and thin in the back, wide in the front and narrow in the back, forming an arc to protect the brain, maintain normal blood supply to the brain and elastic protection. The correct height of the cervical pillow core 3 in the supine position is the best height of one's fist, with the nose tip and toes at the same height. For the side-lying position, add 2 cm to the height of the shoulder blade. The height of a normal adult male's fist is 8-9 cm, and the height of a female's fist is 7-8 cm. Therefore, the height of the cervical pillow core 3 and the side-sleeping pillow core 2 are both set to 8 cm. By adding the back of the head cotton pad 4, the patient's head is raised and supported when the patient is in the supine position. By adjusting the position of the second cotton pad cover 501, the height of the side sleeping area is increased.

[0049] Embodiment 2: Different from Embodiment 1, a first opening is opened on one side of the first cotton pad cover 5, the back-of-head cotton pad 4 is placed inside the first cotton pad cover 5, a second opening is opened on one side of the second cotton pad cover 501, and two side-sleeping cotton pads 6 are placed in the two second cotton pad covers 501 respectively.

[0050] By means of the first opening provided on the first cotton pad cover 5 , the back-of-head cotton pad 5 can be inserted into the first cotton pad cover 5 through the first opening, and by means of the second opening provided on the second cotton pad cover 501 , the side-sleeping cotton pad 6 can be inserted into the second cotton pad cover 501 through the second opening.

[0051] Therefore, in the present embodiment, the back-of-head cotton pad 5 and the side-sleeping cotton pad 6 can be taken out for cleaning or replacement, which can ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the device, make it more comfortable to use, and prevent loss.

[0052] The above are only embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
