Symptoms of mild cerebral stroke include limb weakness, numbness, dizziness, and so on. Mild stroke can be treated with acupuncture, massage, and oral traditional Chinese medicine. The main manifestations of mild stroke include reduced reaction ability; if not treated promptly over a long period, it may easily lead to full-blown stroke. For patients with minor cerebral infarction, such as lacunar infarction, it is important to control blood pressure and appropriately take some neurotrophic medications to promote cerebral blood circulation, helping patients gradually recover from mild stroke and minimizing its impact on daily life.
