Can the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis be cured?

Cerebral thrombosis is becoming more and more common, and the age range it affects is getting wider and wider, and the age of the patients is getting younger and younger. Patients with cerebral thrombosis need to be sent to the hospital for treatment in time when the disease occurs. Cerebral thrombosis can recur and there are many sequelae, such as the most common hemiplegia and slurred speech. So, can the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis be cured? Let’s find out now.

The sequelae of cerebral thrombosis include language disorders, limb behavior disorders, and internally, loss of consciousness and lack of awareness of physiological needs. Patients with cerebral thrombosis are likely to have a recurrence. The most common sequelae of cerebral thrombosis is hemiplegia. Hemiplegia refers to decreased muscle strength, limited mobility or complete inability to move the limbs on one side. Hemiplegia in patients with cerebral thrombosis occurs on the opposite side of the brain lesion. If it is a left-sided cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, it will cause right-sided hemiplegia, and vice versa. Hemiplegic patients often also have sensory impairments in the ipsilateral limbs, such as insensitivity to cold and heat, and insensitivity to pain. As for sequelae, the earlier the treatment, the greater the degree of recovery. Drug treatment alone is not very effective for the sequelae. Treatment plus rehabilitation is best. It can be said that under normal circumstances the chance of complete recovery from sequelae is very small, but with timely treatment it is quite easy to recover to 70% to 80%.

Don't have too high expectations for health care products. Dysphagia can generally be restored to normal through acupuncture and rehabilitation exercises, and aphasia can also recover to a certain extent. It is difficult to fully recover after half a year, so it is best not to rely on health care products because they are not medicines and it is difficult to have a definite therapeutic effect. You should go to the rehabilitation department of the hospital.

(1) Take medication regularly to prevent recurrence of cerebral thrombosis: After discharge, patients still need to take medication regularly as instructed by the doctor, control underlying diseases of arteriosclerosis such as diabetes and hypertension, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. Commonly used drugs include antiplatelet aggregation drugs, such as low-dose aspirin and Ticlid; brain protective drugs, such as nimodipine; oxygen free radical scavengers, such as vitamin E and vitamin C, etc. Some patients hate taking medicine and want to try all advertised medicines, or they think the more medicines they take, the better. In fact, doing so is not good for your health. Not to mention that the efficacy of drugs may not be as miraculous as claimed in the advertisements. Any drug must be metabolized by the liver and kidneys. Taking too many drugs will increase the burden on the elderly's already unhealthy liver and kidneys. From a pharmacological point of view, too many drugs entering the body will interact with each other, reducing their respective efficacy and even aggravating side effects, causing harm to the body.

Start rehabilitation treatment as early as possible and actively: As mentioned earlier, cerebral thrombosis will leave many sequelae, such as monoplegia, hemiplegia, aphasia, etc. The effect of drugs on these sequelae is very limited. Through active and formal rehabilitation treatment, most patients can take care of themselves, and some can even return to work.

Patients need active treatment when they are at home and should also pay attention to the fact that the bedroom must face the sun, the temperature and humidity must be appropriate, the bed must be clean and tidy, and the underwear should be made of pure cotton, breathable, and changed frequently. If it is hemiplegia, you should eat more foods that facilitate defecation, and also pay attention to strengthening nutrition and eating more fruits and vegetables.
