生長痛之病例報告暨中西醫治療
A Case Report of Growth Pain and Chinese and Western Medicine Combined Treatment
摘要
生長痛指的是會反覆發作，無法以其他病理性原因解釋的疼痛，多發生在3-12歲的學齡前或學齡兒童身上。由於這段年齡正是生長發育階段，所以習慣稱之爲「生長痛」。發病的高峰期在6歲左右，確切病因目前不甚清楚。 患者自訴，近日無跌倒，晚上常哭訴膝及手肘關節附近疼痛，沒有發作時如正常小孩一樣的活動，且疼痛的部位也無任何異常紅、腫、熱的症狀。經詳細觸診與治療，並教導家長幫助患者於就寢前按壓肩胛及臀部肌肉群，配合通絡舒筋之內服藥一週即見療效，六週左右幾近痊癒。 中西醫治療，可藉由熱療、按摩、口服藥物緩解其症狀，可就預防醫學的角度給予適度的護理，減輕患者的不適，家長也能得到較佳的生活品質。
