Stroke Treatment in Bangalore
A stroke occurs when there is a disruption in blood flow to the brain, and also how to cure the stroke is very important to know.
Acute Treatment: Immediate action is crucial for ischemic stroke. Thrombolysis (tPA) dissolves clots if administered promptly. Mechanical thrombectomy is beneficial for large vessel occlusions.
Rehabilitation: Our multidisciplinary stroke rehab program aids in skill recovery. Physiotherapy enhances mobility and strength. Occupational therapy fosters independence in daily tasks. Speech therapy tackles communication hurdles. Cognitive rehab targets memory and attention.
Medications and Prevention: Post-stroke, long-term medication manages risk factors. Antiplatelet drugs prevent clotting. Lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and quitting smoking are vital for prevention.
Strokes can be classified into two main categories:
- Ischemic strokes: These are strokes caused by blockage of an artery (or, in rare instances, a vein).
- Hemorrhagic stroke: These are strokes caused by bleeding caused by the rupture of a vein. Hemorrhagic stroke can be secondary to the rupture of abnormal blood vessels or aneurysmal rupture, which needs detailed evaluation and treatment.
The symptoms of a stroke include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body,.
- Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.
- Sudden trouble seeing with one or both eyes.
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden trouble walking, speaking, and understanding
A stroke can affect a person's:

- Swallowing

Stroke recovery stages vary for each person, as every stroke and every person are different. Healing after a stroke can be a challenging and emotional process, and it is different for everyone.
The location, extent of the lesion or tissue involvement, time before treatment, and other factors all affect the outlook for recovery. However, experts have identified a general pattern of motor recovery from stroke.
Stroke accounts for a significant burden on society, so the timely detection of stroke helps reduce morbidity and mortality.
