Early Stroke Treatment High Recovery Effectiveness

  Clinical studies have proven that the basic cure rate of stroke patients who received early rehabilitation treatment is three times higher than that of those who did not receive early rehabilitation treatment, indicating that early rehabilitation is the key to treating stroke. Recently, our center treated two stroke patients, one with multiple large cerebral infarcts and one with acute brainstem infarcts, and both achieved remarkable results due to timely intervention of early rehabilitation treatment, which also proved that early rehabilitation of stroke is the key.  Patient 1, male, 64 years old, from Yunfu, Guangdong, had been addicted to smoking and alcohol for more than 30 years and had a history of hypertension for 6 years. On June 16, he had an attack in a quiet state and presented with impaired consciousness, unfavorable speech, weakness of the left limbs, inability to sit alone, and urinary incontinence. The cranial MR showed: bilateral cerebral infarcts in the thalamus, bilateral cerebral infarcts in the hippocampus and some bilateral occipital areas; cerebral infarcts in the left radiocoronal area and a little lacunar cerebral infarcts; bilateral lacunar cerebral infarcts in the insula. The muscle strength of the left limb was about grade 3, with a neurological deficit score of 22 and an activity of daily living (ADL) score of 10. The patient was treated with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and his condition was stabilized after 3 days, and comprehensive rehabilitation treatments such as acupuncture, massage, PT, OT, and ST were added in time for more than 1 month. left limb muscle strength of grade 5-, neurological deficit score of 6, ADL ability score of 80, urinary and bowel control, and basic self-care of life. on July 24, the patient was discharged independently on foot.  Patient 2, male, 43 years old, from Shenzhen, Guangdong, with a history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. On July 2, he had a sudden onset of vertigo, vomiting, headache, choking and coughing, with left-sided skewed corners of the mouth, unfavorable movement of the left limbs, and inability to sit alone. The cranial MR showed acute cerebral infarction in the right brainstem and bilateral basal ganglia lacunar infarction, which was treated with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine and stabilized after 2 days, and the rehabilitation was promptly intervened and basically cured after 12 days, and he was discharged on foot.  The Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Cerebrovascular Diseases believe that early intervention in stroke rehabilitation will significantly improve the clinical efficacy. The exact timing of “early” is generally determined by the difference between cerebral ischemia and cerebral hemorrhage. In the case of cerebral ischemia, as long as the patient is clear, the vital signs are stable (temperature, respiration, pulse and blood pressure are normal) and the disease is no longer developing, it can be performed after 48 hours.
