Disease description:

I am 52 years old and have had a cerebral infarction for nearly five years. Actually, symptoms like dizziness and excessive sleepiness appeared many years ago, but I never took them seriously. When I finally went to the hospital, I was diagnosed with stroke. I would like to ask, how is stroke treated?

There is no single best treatment for stroke, as each patient's condition is different and treatment must be individualized. Overall, therapy should be approached from several aspects: first, early management of intracranial pressure based on the underlying cause; second, the earlier the intervention begins after the condition stabilizes, the better the outcome. For example, in patients with early-stage stroke, timely training in joint movement, posture, sitting, walking, swallowing, and breathing can significantly promote recovery and improve quality of life.
