How to treat retinitis pigmentosa? Would you please talk about it?

At present, the known information is as follows: Retinitis pigmentosa is a chronic progressive, bilateral blanket retinal degeneration. It is often difficult to determine the genetic type. Most cases are autosomal recessive inheritance, but it can also be autosomal dominant inheritance or X-linked inheritance, the latter is not common. This disease may also be a part of some syndromes, such as Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome and Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome. At present, several treatment methods at home and abroad are summarized

First, adding some necessary nutritional supplements can improve the phagocytic enzyme activity of retinal pigment epithelial cells and enhance the nutritional supply of visual cells, thus achieving the improvement effect ... but there is no exact report on the curative effect at present;

Second, western medicine surgical treatment. The starting point of surgical treatment is the same, that is, to increase the blood supply to the retina, that is, to increase the supply of oxygen and the nutrients needed for photoreceptor metabolism. No matter what good name this operation is called, it can't escape from this circle. The effect can't be said to be no. No matter how serious the illness is, you will feel better at first. Because it makes the eyes bloodshot in a short time, it seems to have the illusion of getting better in a short time, but it won't be long before we find that this method of making the eyes bloodshot locally is of little significance.

Third, stem cell technology.

Fourth, peripheral photoreceptor cell transplantation. This method uses the peripheral photoreceptor cells that survive on the patient's retina and moves them to the macular area. In this way, there is no rejection of the patient's own photoreceptor cells, and its differentiation and regeneration function is much better than that of stem cells. The surrounding photoreceptor cells have a strong replication function, which is no problem. The key is to provide them with the necessary nutrition. As far as I know, foreign countries are still in the stage of animal experiments. However, it is gratifying that the experimental effect on mice is obviously accurate. Its exact manifestation is retinitis pigmentosa, which is a chronic progressive bilateral blanket retinal degeneration. It is often difficult to determine the genetic type. Most cases are autosomal recessive inheritance, but it can also be autosomal dominant inheritance or X-linked inheritance, the latter is not common. This disease may also be a part of some syndromes, such as Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome and Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome. The root cause is the continuous death and decrease of photoreceptor cells, which can be solved to some extent. Personally, I think this may be the best way to solve RP.

Fifth, retinal transplantation. This method is difficult, there are too many problems to face, and it lacks maneuverability.

This disease is exudative chorioretinopathy in and around macula, accompanied by subretinal neovascularization and hemorrhage. It is not uncommon in clinic, usually monocular, and most of them are under 50 years old. We should treat it fundamentally. Improve liver and spleen kidney function, dredge eye blood flow, enhance eye nutrition, and treat with traditional Chinese medicine conservative therapy.

At this stage, the main treatment methods are to control the current condition, prevent deterioration and maintain the eyes and other conservative treatment methods. With the rapid development of science and technology, foreign countries have also started research in this field, such as gene therapy and stem cell therapy. I believe it will be cured in the future!
