Stroke Treatment
Stroke treatment focuses on restoring blood flow to the brain and minimizing damage. The two main types of strokes are ischemic, caused by a blockage, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding. For ischemic strokes, doctors may administer tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) to dissolve clots, while hemorrhagic strokes may require surgery to repair blood vessels.
Rehabilitation is also crucial after a stroke. This may involve physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help patients regain lost skills and improve their quality of life. Early intervention and a tailored rehabilitation plan can significantly enhance recovery outcomes for stroke survivors.
