Treatment of cervical spinal tuberculosis mainly includes the following methods.
Medical treatment is fundamental. Anti - tuberculosis drugs such as isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol are used in combination. The long - term and regular use of these drugs aims to kill the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and control the progression of the disease.
Surgical treatment may also be necessary. In cases where there is significant bone destruction, spinal cord compression or abscess formation, surgical decompression and stabilization can be carried out. The operation can relieve the pressure on the spinal cord and correct spinal deformities.
During the treatment process, good rest and proper nutrition are also important. Adequate rest helps the affected area to recover, and a balanced diet rich in protein and vitamins can enhance the patient's immunity to fight the disease.
