Dr. Huang Shichang
The treatment methods for post-stroke sequelae can mainly be divided into the following categories: 1. **Medication Therapy**: Drugs such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets and simvastatin tablets are used to regulate blood circulation and prevent recurrent stroke. For patients in the post-acute phase, traditional Chinese medicines such as Zaoyu Pills can help remove wind-phlegm, promote blood circulation, and restore limb and language function. 2. **Rehabilitation Training**: This includes physical therapy and speech therapy, which help patients regain muscle strength, balance, and language abilities through professional training. 3. **Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapies**: Such as acupuncture, massage, and steam therapy, which can promote blood circulation, relieve muscle pain, and aid in the repair of nerve damage. 4. **Psychological Therapy**: Counseling and psychological support can help adjust the patient's mindset and alleviate emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. The above treatment methods should be selected based on the patient's specific condition and the recommendations of their physician.
