Common treatments for cerebrovascular disease:
1. Medication: Anti-coagulants, anti-platelet drugs, antihypertensive medications, and lipid-regulating drugs are used to prevent and control the occurrence of cerebrovascular disease. For example, anti-platelet drugs can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombus formation.
2. Surgical treatment: For severe cerebrovascular diseases such as intracranial aneurysms, cerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction, surgical treatment may be considered. The application of minimally invasive surgical techniques results in less surgical trauma and faster recovery times.
3. Physical therapy: Includes rehabilitation training, massage, acupuncture, and physiotherapy, which help restore function of the damaged nervous system.
4. Acute-phase treatment: For ischemic stroke, thrombolytic therapy or clot retrieval should be performed as soon as possible; for hemorrhagic stroke, blood pressure control is required, and hematoma removal surgery may be necessary.
5. Lifestyle modifications: Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, controlling body weight, undergoing regular health checkups, and actively managing chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Each individual's cerebrovascular condition is different, and medication should be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician.
