About

    Stroke treatment involves a variety of strategies aimed at treating and minimizing the effects of a stroke, which occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced. Some common treatment options include clot-busting medications, such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which can help dissolve blood clots and restore blood flow to the brain. Other treatments may include procedures to remove or bypass blockages in blood vessels, rehabilitation therapies to help improve physical and cognitive function after a stroke, and medications to manage symptoms and prevent future strokes. The goal of stroke treatment is to minimize brain damage, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life for individuals who have experienced a stroke.
