Cerebral infarction is now called cerebral infarction, and its best treatment is to develop a suitable treatment plan according to the patient’s age, type of cerebral infarction, severity of the disease and underlying disease. The treatment of cerebral infarction mainly includes treatment in the acute phase of onset and treatment in the recovery phase. The acute phase generally refers to the onset of the disease within 2 weeks, and the treatment at this time includes general treatment and special treatment. General treatment is mainly symptomatic treatment, including detection of vital signs, control of blood pressure and blood sugar, prevention of infection and maintenance of water-electrolyte balance. Special treatment includes thrombolytic therapy with urokinase and recombinant tissue fibrinogen activator in the hyperacute stage, antiplatelet aggregation therapy with aspirin or clopidogrel, and cerebral protection therapy with edaravone and olacitant. In addition, anticoagulation therapy or fluid supplementation to expand blood volume can be used according to the patient’s condition. The treatment for patients recovering from cerebral infarction mainly includes active treatment of underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, regulation of lifestyle, and the addition of aspirin and statin drugs for cerebrovascular disease control and prevention treatment according to the patient’s condition. In addition, patients with cerebral infarction who have residual symptoms such as limb paralysis should be treated with timely and standardized rehabilitation training to restore human functions. In summary, patients with cerebral infarction in different periods have different treatment plans, and patients should develop long-term treatment therapy under the guidance of neurologists to treat and prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction.
