Introduction
If the ischemic lesion is small and has not caused significant neurological impairment, the brain possesses a certain degree of self-repair and compensatory capacity. With active lifestyle modifications, some patients may achieve a certain level of recovery. However, if the ischemic lesion is located in a critical area of the brain, the difficulty of treatment increases accordingly. In such cases, the patient may require long-term treatment and rehabilitation.
Generally, when minor ischemic foci appear in the brain without causing significant damage to neurological function, they can usually be recovered. However, if the patient has other cerebrovascular diseases, recovery may be difficult. It is recommended that patients promptly visit a hospital and follow medical advice for treatment. The analysis is as follows:
If the ischemic focus is small and has not caused significant neurological damage, the brain has a certain capacity for self-repair and compensation. With active lifestyle adjustments and following medical advice to use medications such as vinpocetine injection, atorvastatin calcium tablets, and aspirin enteric-coated tablets, some patients may achieve a certain degree of recovery.
If the cerebral ischemic focus is located in a critical area or accompanied by other severe cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, the difficulty of treatment will increase accordingly, and recovery may be challenging. At this time, the patient may require long-term treatment and rehabilitation.
During the treatment period, patients should maintain a balanced diet and avoid consuming high-fat foods such as fried chicken and fatty meats to prevent worsening of symptoms.
