Cerebral infarction is a common disease and one of the serious killers of the quality of life and health of our residents. How to treat cerebral infarction in order to minimize the complications and improve our quality of life?
First, as soon as possible blood flow reconstruction treatment
and other arterial vascular blockage, cerebral blood vessels after acute blockage, is what we often call acute cerebral infarction. If the cerebral blood vessels can not be opened within a certain time window, then there will be necrosis of brain tissue brain cells, and irreversible necrosis. Therefore, as soon as possible for blood flow reconstruction, is acute cerebral infarction patients, one of the first need to solve the problem. The main methods of hemotransfusion reconstruction, one is drug thrombolytic therapy, and the second is emergency intervention.
Second, the application of basic drug therapy
Once acute cerebral infarction occurs, long-term drug therapy is needed. Drugs are mainly lipid-lowering plaque stabilization and anti-platelet aggregation and other drugs, and these basic drugs, is the need for long-term or even lifelong use. Whether in the acute stage or stabilized to recover from cerebral infarction!
Third, lifestyle intervention
Once diagnosed with cerebral infarction, lifestyle intervention is necessary because it is the basis for treatment of cerebral infarction. Lifestyle intervention has been mentioned countless times, including smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, exercise, avoidance of physical exertion, and many other aspects.
Fourth, the stabilization of rehabilitation
After the acute phase of cerebral infarction, the stabilization of rehabilitation is also very important, rehabilitation can not only enhance the physical fitness, but also reduce the cerebral infarction caused by limb, language, movement and other aspects of the obstacles, and thus effectively improve the quality of life.
The actual treatment of cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis cerebral embolism, Western medicine than Chinese medicine faster, only know how to use the drug only. I remember the 80s, 84 years I used Chinese medicine for a month to cure a 74-year-old cerebral thrombosis old man, my mother was the county hospital at the time of the Western medicine internal pediatrician, she asked me to learn about the treatment of cerebrovascular accidents, I'll be the case of the disease and the principle of treatment to tell her. Later, a patient with cerebral thrombosis was admitted to her class, and my mother treated him with western medicine infusion according to the treatment principle I told her, and the patient got well soon. After not long, came a cerebral hemorrhage patients, is another physician's class, the physician according to my mother to cerebral hemorrhage patients with an infusion, cerebral hemorrhage patients died. I am engaged in public security criminal investigation, often traveling outside, traveling back home, my mother told me this, I said to her, this is what I said to your old treatment principle. In reality, I am not what Chinese medicine school or college graduates, is a hobby medicine enthusiasts, usually amateur like to engage in some medical research. Why do I say so much, is to tell you, regardless of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, will be used to cure the disease are good medicine, unnecessary to go to the door of the first is Chinese medicine and Western medicine. The human body medicine is the study of human health and the relationship between the principles of science and disease, treatment of disease is only one or a means.
I felt dizzy in November 2015 and went to the hospital to do a checkup, only to realize that I already have high blood pressure. And then did a nuclear magnetic **** vibration head examination, and found that he had a brain infarction. Hospitalized for a month also did not cure. Some people say that infusion can flush out the infarct plaque, I disagree. It's only good to keep it under control and not progress any further. I am now on daily medication constantly.
The treatment of cerebral infarction can be summarized as follows:
How to treat cerebral infarction
The treatment of cerebral infarction includes interventional therapy, medication, and rehabilitation.
1. Interventional therapy: In the acute stage of cerebral infarction, the narrowed or blocked blood vessels are propped open by interventional therapy, or the embolus that caused the blockage is taken out to unclog the blood vessels, so that the brain function can be restored.
2. Medications: These include thrombolytic drugs, anticoagulant drugs, antiplatelet drugs, statins, volume expanders, neurotrophic agents, etc., which can dissolve blood clots, reduce the risk of re-formation or aggravation of blood clots, improve cerebral circulation, and protect brain cell function. If the combination of diabetes, infectious diseases and other diseases, should also use drugs to control blood sugar, anti-infective drugs.
3. Rehabilitation: If there are sequelae such as limb movement disorder, speech disorder, etc., the function will be improved through rehabilitation training to enhance the quality of life.
Cerebral infarction should be treated in a timely manner in accordance with the doctor's instructions to slow down the progression of the disease and reduce the risk of serious conditions.

The problem is not that simple
The treatment of cerebral infarction is not limited to a few kinds of treatments, including medication, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation
Medications are now being treated by thrombolytic drugs such as alteplase, which is the most common type of thrombolytic used for cerebral infarction. p>
Surgical treatment, interventional thrombolysis has been carried out more mature, but it has its indications, contraindications and time window, some parts of the interventional thrombolysis, some have contraindications, and some of the onset of time has been too long, unsuitable for cooperation with the operation, but if in the appropriate time in time to take the green channel, and there is no contraindications, the operation of the thrombolysis is indeed a special treatment method!
Rehabilitation therapy, if the patient has passed the acute stage, leaving physical disability, language disadvantage and other sequelae, then it is necessary to enter the rehabilitation stage, now there are a lot of means of rehabilitation, limb function exercise, language function training, acupuncture therapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, massage, and so on, all have a certain effect, the treatment is appropriate, in general, the language function and limb activity will have a certain degree of recovery, lucky enough, the language function and limb activity will have a certain degree of restoration, the language function and limb activity will have a certain degree of restoration, the language function and limb activity will have a certain degree of restoration. If you are lucky enough, you can even get close to the same level of recovery as before the onset of the disease.
A cerebral infarction, also known as a stroke, is the result of a sudden reduction or cessation of blood flow through the arteries that supply blood to the brain tissue, resulting in dizziness, numbness, and coma in severe cases.
In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and changes in dietary structure, the trend of cerebral infarction younger and younger is also becoming more and more obvious, the reason:
1 Stay up too late. Lack of sleep can lead to the secretion of stress hormones, such as adrenaline increase, which causes blood pressure, high blood pressure is a major factor in causing cerebral infarction.
2 Smoking. Things such as carbon monoxide and nicotine can increase the viscosity of the body's blood, which in turn promotes platelet aggregation and coagulation, ultimately leading to the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
3 Obesity. The "root cause" of cerebral infarction is not only fat meat, but also away from high cholesterol-rich foods, such as: pig liver, pig's blood, sheep's liver, fish roe, and so on, and away from high-sugar food, high salt food.
So, in order to prevent and control cerebral infarction, not only to eat less fatty meat, but also to reduce the intake of salt, oil, sugar; increase the proportion of fruits, vegetables, coarse grains, meat to poultry, lean meat, especially fish-based, and at the same time, need to quit smoking and alcohol, adhere to exercise, weight control, avoid staying up all night, monitor the three highs, and control the three highs, the only way to prevent and control the cerebral infarction effectively!
Thank you
Let me answer you this question. The sequelae of cerebral infarction is very serious, will cause paralysis, life can not take care of themselves. Therefore, the rescue of cerebral infarction should be scrambled, "time is life", the earlier the treatment, the better the effect. As soon as possible to restore the blood supply of brain cells, Western medicine to take thrombolytic therapy, the use of thrombolytic drugs to open the blood vessels, but need to rush to the medical institutions to carry out, and Chinese medicine in the treatment of cerebral infarction also have a lot of experience in the prescription.
Thrombolytic therapy needs to be used within a time window of 3-4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms of cerebral infarction, and not after that time. Thrombolysis is not able to open all blockages in the cerebral blood vessels. The advantage of arterial thrombolysis is that a higher blood concentration can be achieved locally in the lesion, and it can directly detect the occluded vessel, evaluate the collateral circulation, and improve the recanalization rate of the occluded vessel, thus improving the therapeutic effect.
Within hours after the onset of cerebral infarction, the aim of treatment is to open the occluded blood vessel (thrombolysis or interventional therapy) and to save brain tissue that has not been infarcted.
If the opportunity to open the blood vessel is missed, the goal of treatment over the next 3-6 months is to promote recovery of the missing function and to prevent recurrence of the infarction.
Follow your doctor's instructions for proper medication. Particularly important medications include:
Medications to lower blood pressure (if you have high blood pressure)
Statins to lower cholesterol
Medications to prevent the formation of blood clots, such as aspirin or anticoagulants
Medications to keep your blood glucose close to normal, if you have diabetes
Adopt a healthy lifestyle:
Smoking cessation (although you may not smoke).
Quit smoking (it's hard to quit, but do it consistently, and prevent the risk of secondhand smoke as well)
Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes a day, two to three days a week, if you are physically able to do so.
Brain attacks are treatable, but they need to be treated promptly, and the sooner they are treated, the better!
If the most dangerous acute phase of the safe past, reached the problem description of the recovery period, this time the patient will appear some limb dysfunction, a little more serious is biased, for these limb dysfunction of the patient, as long as the recovery of nerve function, and scientific help training to restore the memory of the limbs, can be completely restored to the function of the activity, although it may not be up to 100% recovery, but want to move on their own can still be done. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty, and you can do it on your own.
The occurrence of a brain attack!
Brain attack is not a mystery, we need to understand that everything follows the law of conservation of energy, which also means that everything needs energy, the difference lies only in the form of this energy manifestation is different, many people say: the heart and brain is the same, in fact, in a sense is right, the heart and the brain is the most important two parts of the human body to maintain the normal work of the two need to be enough energy, and this energy is blood, the blood flow depends on the normal work of the human body. The flow of blood depends on the transportation of blood vessels, just like the highway, but if the highway because of some factors lead to a car accident, there is a traffic jam, the vehicle (blood) will slow down, can not reach the brain in a timely manner, the brain tissue cells do not get enough blood supply, ischemic necrosis will gradually occur.
The composition of the brain and its complexity, language, vision, memory, physical activity and other parts, which place ischemic necrosis, there will be corresponding symptoms, which is why patients with cerebral infarction symptoms are different, a variety of reasons.
The reason for the occurrence!
Cerebral infarction is mainly caused by the blockage of blood vessels, and we need to understand what causes the blockage that affects the flow of blood.
As many people know, just like coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, high blood pressure, advanced age, smoking, alcoholism, and unhealthy dietary habits can indeed lead to atherosclerosis, which can lead to plaque thrombosis, but it is important to understand that these are not exhaustive possibilities.
Cervical spondylosis caused by cerebral infarction should be heard of, but even so it is not comprehensive, accurately said that the nervous system in the cerebral infarction of the patient group plays an important role in the cervical spine problem is only to cause the nervous system disorders of the discharge of a triggering factor, and not only cervical spine, part of the thoracic spine of the lesions can also cause this consequence, the nervous system of the disorders of the excitement will make the coronary artery spasms, affecting the blood circulation, the nerves, tissues, cells ischemia. Nerves, tissues, cells undergo ischemic necrosis, *** with the same effect can lead to the occurrence of cerebral infarction, and sequelae.
Treatment!
As I said above, the treatment of such patients with cerebral infarction needs to start from two aspects, so as to enable the patients to return to normal activities, although it is not 100% guaranteed that it will be restored to the level of a normal person, but it is not impossible to take care of their own life, as long as we look for the foci of the disease that induced the excitement of nerve disorders, and then through the neuromodulation of neural restoration treatment, and finally supplemented by scientific training, it can completely enable a large number of patients with cerebral infarction to return to normal work and life. The first thing you need to do is to find out where the nerve disorder is, and then use neuromodulation to treat the nerve, and then supplement with scientific training.
After the acute stage of cerebral infarction, one of the two main aspects of the later stage of cerebral infarction is the rehabilitation treatment, and the other is the active secondary prevention of cerebral infarction.
In general, three months after the infarction is the golden period of recovery, in this period of time under the guidance of the rehabilitator, to carry out standard rehabilitation exercise, for the patient's recovery, quality of life to play a great role in improving. General cerebral infarction one year after the recovery effect is very poor, if the patient is in a bedridden state, there will be myasthenia gravis, hemiplegia limb contracture and other symptoms.
So generally patients in 48 hours after admission to the hospital vital signs are stable, the condition is no longer progress, we must start rehabilitation early.
But generally patients are not allowed to exercise in the doctor's time are very anxious to exercise, wait until the real start of a variety of limbs after swallowing rehabilitation exercise, the patient and feel that there is no strength to practice. Just all kinds of lazy.
Positive rehabilitation exercise, for patients with cerebral infarction after depression state also has a certain preventive effect. Sometimes not simply limb paralysis, or even speech disorders patients also have the possibility of depressive tendencies.
In addition, is the patient's cerebrovascular disease secondary prevention. Some patients are not hemiplegic, but there is a numbness of the limbs. Taking great pains to find all kinds of solutions to numbness, but neglected to control the risk factors of cerebrovascular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and so on. This leads to the recurrence of cerebral infarction or the emergence of cerebral hemorrhage.
This is also why during the hospitalization of patients with cerebral infarction, but the doctor will also be high blood pressure and high glucose these diseases for active treatment of the reason. So the cure is also the cause, and prevention is equally important in this regard.
