subject: Stroke Patients Now Have Hope For A Better Recovery [print this page] It is common knowledge that prevention is the best way to avoid health problems including strokes. Knowing your family history and the other risk factors like cigarette smoking, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure can help you with discovering how to prevent strokes or recurring strokes if you have already had one or more. If you have suffered a stroke in the past, you understand that post recovery takes time and patience as it can take years of treatment to regain even some neurological functions. Some patients are able to recover almost fully, while others are never able to regain a normal way of life even with most modern day treatments. There is new hope in the post recovery treatment for those who have experienced brain attacks and brain damage.
Now there is a way for many stroke victims to recover from neurological and functional loss more effectively and faster than with traditional rehabilitation and treatments alone. Used in combination with rehab and various treatments, a specially blended medication can help with the recovery and reorganization of the neuron pathways that have been damaged from a stroke. Studies have shown that stroke patients (up to six months) have recovered an additional 25% of their motor functions by adding this medicine to their rehabilitation. You need to keep in mind that not everyone receives the same results, but this medication has shown a lot of promise.
A stroke happens when the blood and oxygen flow is reduced or increased too much resulting in the injury and damage of certain areas of the neurological pathways of the brain. It causes various symptoms like numbness of one side of the whole body from the head down, numbness of a limb, difficulty speaking or understanding, blurred or disruption in vision and severe and painful headaches. These symptoms come on quickly and without warning, so if you experience any of them, it is wise not to ignore them and get treatment as soon as possible. The faster you receive treatment, the shorter your recovery time from a stroke.
