Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effcts of cervical mild hypothermia auxiliary therapy on stress reaction in patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Methods 84 cases cervical spinal cord injury patients were randomly divided into two groups:a cervical mild hypothermia group (42 cases)and a routine treatment group (42 cases), 64 healthy men who come for health examination were recruited and served as healthy control. Routine treatment were used in both treatment groups, in edition, the LM-HAT was just applied in mild hypothermia group. The changes of the concentrations of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH), corticosteroid (Cor), arginine vasopessin (AVP) in serum and the symptoms of the stress dsease(hypertension, high blood sugar)were observed before treatment and 1 week after treatment. Results The concentrations of CRH, ACTH, Cor, AVP in serum and the symptoms of stress disease in mild hypothermia group and routine treatment group were improved significantly at week after treatment(P<0.05), but the therapeutic effects of mild hypothermia group were better than that of routine treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusions The cervical mild hypothermia auxiliary therapy could significantly inhibit the secretion of stress hormones, make the H-P-A axis stable and promote the stress disease recovery.
