MUSIC THERAPY FOR ALIEN HAND

[Perrywrinkle]

My husband who suffers from CBD is increasingly plagued by his hand clenching and clawing, especially at night. We have tried different objects, such as a rubber ball and rolled up towels but they don't ease the problem. I'm wondering about soothing music with headphones as a brain distraction. Does anyone have opinions about this?

Plz try passing lukewarm water over his hands

My dad would clench his fists and not open them - pain lukewarm (not hot) water over his hands helped him relax

Maybe it will help your hubby too

Best wishes

Hi Perrywrikle!

No, I have not experience with music..I can only offer you our experience and solutions, hoping they can be useful.

Tooth decay, muscle cramps, spasms and stiffness:

We not detected major episodes of tooth decay, muscle cramps or spams. In the daily diet we include in the breakfast a quantity of fresh cheese combining with a little citrus fruits (orange, lemon, strawberries, etc.) and in the meals egg yolk or fatty fish. And just as important as the incorporation of these kind of foods, whenever the circumstances arise we expose the patient to the sun discovering legs and arms. The idea is to favor the presence of Calcium in the diet as well as favor the generation of vitamin D.

We combat stiffness in hands, arms and legs with gentle and persistent massages. We have read that the drug "Baclofen" can help in some cases. Ask Physician.

Isotonic drinks are interesting to help maintain blood electrolytes at the correct level. Lack of the proper level of electrolytes in the blood can cause spasms.

Sandir-2021 proposes: “To soak the hands in epsome salts and soap daily. To use a very thin cotton sack cloth to clean b/t the fingers and use a large qtip to clean inside the palm. After soaking I rinse then dry them really well using the dry end of the cloth.It is very important to dry really well.you can use a hair dryer if they can not be dried well with a cloth. To keep the fingernails clipped and filed very short to prevent them from digging in to her palms.”

Racewalk 2021 proposes: “Forcing fingers partly open, at shower passing my finger wet/soap inside the hand. Washing with shower wather, passing inside the hand some skin protective cream, drying with paper tissue and with hairdryier”

Martina_MP-2021 suggest: “Perhaps some hand sanitizers are just thin alcohol and an occasional little splash could get in there and also would evaporate”.

Fist opening maneuver:

In the minute 15:00 until 15:40 of the video you can see how the maneuver to open a fist is performed.

The maneuver must be done carefully as it can be painful.

Hug and luck.
