Exercise assistance method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy patient

Description

An exercise assisting method for patients undergoing radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of exercise rehabilitation for patients undergoing radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and in particular to an auxiliary exercise method for patients undergoing radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Background Art

[0002] Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that occurs on the roof and side walls of the nasopharyngeal cavity. It is one of the most common malignant tumors in my country, with the highest incidence rate among malignant tumors of the ear, nose and throat. Common clinical symptoms include nasal congestion, blood in mucus, stuffy ears, hearing loss, diplopia and headache. Most nasopharyngeal carcinomas are moderately sensitive to radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is the preferred treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, for highly differentiated cancers, advanced disease courses and recurrences after radiotherapy, surgical resection and chemotherapy are also indispensable means. Radiotherapy is a radical treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present invention is that existing nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients generally follow the doctor's instructions to perform simple exercises after radiotherapy. It is difficult for doctors to customize targeted exercise rehabilitation plans based on the patient's personal situation. The universal exercise rehabilitation plan has poor targeting and is not suitable for all nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. There is a lack of highly applicable exercise assistance methods. Therefore, we propose an exercise assistance method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy patients to solve the above problems.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the basic flow of an exercise assistance method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy patients provided by one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments.

[0018] Referring to FIG1 , the present invention provides an auxiliary exercise method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy patients, the auxiliary method comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Professional guidance;

[0020] Step 2: Gradually restore and adjust;

[0021] Step three: adjust your mental state;

[0022] Step 4: Breathing training;

[0023] Step 5: Muscle training;

[0024] Step 6: Flexibility training;

[0025] Step 7: Diet adjustment;

[0026] Step 8: Take a proper rest;

[0027] Step nine: Regular follow-up visits.

[0028] Professional guidance: Before starting any exercise program, patients should first consult a doctor or rehabilitation therapist for professional guidance and advice. Doctors and rehabilitation therapists will develop a personalized exercise plan based on the patient's specific situation and rehabilitation needs. For nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy, low-intensity exercises such as walking, yoga, and gentle aerobic exercise are recommended. These exercises can help patients gradually improve their physical fitness without becoming overly tired or injured. During exercise, patients should establish good communication with professionals and promptly report any physical reactions or discomfort so that adjustments can be made based on actual conditions.

[0029] Gradual recovery adjustment means that during the gradual recovery process, patients can choose some low-intensity aerobic exercises, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, gentle yoga, Pilates and Pilates ball exercises as the starting point. These exercises help restore body flexibility and muscle strength, while gradually increasing the amount and intensity of activity to facilitate the recovery process;

[0030] In addition to exercise, NPC patients can choose some pleasant ways to help relax their mind and body, such as listening to music, participating in meditation courses, relaxation training or psychological counseling. These methods can help relieve anxiety, reduce stress, improve emotional state, and promote physical and mental health.

[0031] Breathing training: In terms of breathing training, NPC patients can choose to participate in yoga classes to learn different breathing techniques and deep breathing exercises. Breathing exercises in yoga are particularly beneficial for promoting the coordination of respiratory muscles and improving lung capacity. They can try mouth and nose breathing, abdominal breathing, and neck breathing exercises to enhance lung function and restore normal breathing patterns.

[0032] Muscle training is an important part of the rehabilitation process. In addition to weight training and elastic band exercises, NPC patients can choose simple yoga poses and Pilates exercises. These exercises can help strengthen core muscles, improve body posture, relieve muscle tension, and help improve muscle mobility.

[0033] Flexibility training: To improve body flexibility and joint range of motion, NPC patients can perform yoga, stretching exercises, or Pilates. These exercises help stretch muscles, relieve muscle tension, and increase joint range of motion. Aquatic exercise is a very suitable flexibility training method. The buoyancy of water can reduce the burden on the body and improve exercise comfort.

[0034] Dietary adjustments for NPC patients include eating light, easily digestible foods rich in protein and nutrients, including fish, beans, vegetables, and fruits. They can also add some vitamin-rich foods, including nuts, seeds, and whole grains, to meet the body's nutritional needs.

[0035] Proper rest: Nasopharyngeal cancer patients can choose to do relaxation training before rest, such as meditation and physical relaxation exercises to help relax the tense body and emotions. They can also choose to do gentle stretching exercises to relieve muscle tension, which can help improve sleep quality and reduce stress.

[0036] Regular follow-up visits are for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients to have regular follow-up visits during their exercise to ensure they are in good physical condition and to adjust their exercise plans in a timely manner. Doctors will evaluate the patient's physical condition and recovery progress, and make timely adjustments to the exercise plan to provide patients with a more personalized and effective rehabilitation plan.

[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
