How to treat sequelae of cerebral stroke

Main treatments for stroke sequelae:

1. Medication: For stroke sequelae, doctors may prescribe medications to control underlying conditions such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and to prevent recurrent stroke. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin or clopidogrel, can reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

2. Physical therapy: Physical therapy is key to restoring motor function. Through a series of exercises, patients are helped to relearn walking, standing, and other basic movements, strengthen muscle power, and improve balance and coordination.

3. Psychological support: Psychological stress and depressive emotions are common after stroke. Counseling and support groups can provide necessary psychological assistance to help patients and their families cope with emotional issues.

4. Surgical treatment: When intracranial hemorrhage or arterial stenosis is severe, surgery such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be required to alleviate symptoms and prevent further damage.

5. Surgical treatment: Severe stroke sequelae, such as intracranial arterial stenosis, may require surgical intervention to reconstruct collateral circulation in the ischemic area and improve cerebral blood flow.
