Neurovascular blockage cannot be treated by electrotherapy in the acute stage, but the use of electrotherapy after the condition is stabilized may be beneficial for the symptoms of neurological deficits.
Neurovascular blockage generally refers to cerebral infarction and cerebral embolism, which are neurological emergencies. The most effective treatment for these patients is thrombolysis. The time window for thrombolysis is within 4.5 hours of the onset of the disease, and endovascular interventions can be used in patients with partial occlusion of large blood vessels who have not responded to thrombolysis, by means of arterial thrombolysis and mechanical thrombolysis.
Electrotherapy generally refers to electrical nerve stimulation therapy, which is generally used to restore the symptoms of neurological deficits after cerebral infarction, but it is not very useful for the treatment of the acute stage.
To summarize, electrotherapy is only used as a kind of rehabilitation therapy to restore the symptoms of neurological deficits, but it cannot be used as the main treatment for cerebral infarction.
