5旬工程師摔車傷左肩3個月不敢動 「冰凍肩」竟悄上身

郭綜合醫院復健科主任陳柏宏:第一線藥物與復健無效時,可評估關節囊擴張術,搭配後續復健

Quick Look

郭綜合醫院復健科主任陳柏宏指出,五十肩(沾黏性關節囊炎)並非等待就一定會好,部分患者殘餘症狀超過10年。第一線藥物與復健無效時,可考慮超音波導引關節囊擴張術,過程約10多分鐘,可在門診完成,但必須搭配後續復健才能徹底解決問題。

Why It Matters

文章介紹五十肩(沾黏性關節囊炎)的症狀、高風險族群與治療選項,包括第一線藥物與復健,以及在復健無效時可評估的超音波導引關節囊擴張術。

52歲男工程師半年前騎單車摔倒,左側著地、左肩疼痛,X光確認沒骨折,到診所接受3、4週藥物及打類固醇緩解疼痛。但此後不太敢用左肩,3月前再就醫左肩活動嚴重受限,出現五十肩症狀,做了3個月物理治療,活動角度仍沒好轉,他接受醫師建議做超音波導引關節囊擴張術,後續復健6週,左肩活動才恢復正常。

郭綜合醫院復健科主任陳柏宏醫師指出,俗稱「冰凍肩」的五十肩,醫學上稱「沾黏性關節囊炎」,許多患者以為忍一忍、過個1、2年就會自己好起來,的確是有患者自癒。但有長期追蹤顯示,有些病人的殘餘症狀超過10年,五十肩並不是「等就一定會好」的病;而且等待的期間是睡不好、穿不了衣服、抬不起手的漫長煎熬。

他說明,五十肩的鑑別,需是自己的手抬不高,連別人要幫忙抬也抬不高,才能確認。此症盛行率約一般人的2%至5%,好發於40歲至60歲之間,女性發生率高於男性;糖尿病者罹病率也比常人高出5倍;而外傷後因怕痛長期不敢動者,也是高風險族群,如同上述病例。

陳柏宏表示,治療五十肩第一線是藥物與復健,但如復健做了一段時間效果不彰,就該評估其他介入選項,郭醫提供「健保給付」的關節囊擴張術,是此階段選項之一,在超音波導引下把針準確送進肩關節囊,注入生理食鹽水、局部麻醉劑與少量類固醇,用液體壓力把攣縮變厚的關節囊撐開,過程約僅10多分鐘,可在門診完成,不必全身麻醉、不必住院。

但陳柏宏強調,所有臨床研究都認為治療五十肩不是單獨打一針就能解決所有問題,關節囊擴張術是打開治療的大門,加上後續復健治療才能徹底解決五十肩的困擾。

Open Questions

  • 關節囊擴張術的費用與健保給付細節
  • 該手術的長期成功率與復發率
  • 其他醫院是否提供同樣治療

Study: Deadly brain cancer has hidden patterns, cancer cells change predictably

A joint German and British study found that changes in glioblastoma cancer cells follow predictable hidden patterns. The research team analyzed the tumor molecular profiles of 12 patients and used the deep learning tool "scDORI" to identify regulatory factors that affect cell state transitions. They also proved that manipulating a few key factors can guide cancer cells to transform into a less aggressive state, but there is still some way to go before clinical application.

Slimming injection may increase the risk of rare optic neuropathy, US FDA orders drug manufacturers to add warnings

The U.S. FDA requires GLP-1 weight loss and diabetes drugs such as Trixan and Mengena to add warnings on the package labels, reminding them that they may increase the risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), which may lead to sudden vision loss or even permanent damage. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk responded respectively. Citi analysts believe that concerns may be deepened in the short term, but the impact on prescriptions will be limited.
