Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Limbs numbness after cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction is one of the common sequelae, mainly caused by damage to cerebral nerve function. Methods for relief include:
1. Rehabilitation training: Under a doctor's guidance, undergo targeted physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to promote recovery of nerve function and improve limb sensation.
2. Medication: Administer antiplatelet drugs promptly, such as clopidogrel bisulfate tablets and ticagrelor tablets, to reduce the risk of recurrence. Additionally, according to the patient's condition, thrombolytic agents, antihypertensive drugs, and neurotrophic agents such as mecobalamin tablets and oryzanol tablets may be taken to promote nerve function recovery.
3. Lifestyle adjustments: Regarding diet, strictly control salt intake and avoid consuming excessively fatty or high-nutrient foods. Maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as getting adequate sleep, quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, and performing appropriate limb flexion and extension exercises to aid recovery.
4. Regular follow-up examinations: Regularly visit the hospital for brain imaging studies and neurological function assessments, promptly adjust treatment plans, and prevent complications.
