Cerebral atrophy caused by lacunar cerebral infarction cannot be cured by long-term medication, but medication can be taken to prevent further progression, and commonly used medications include aspirin enteric-coated tablets, clopidogrel bisulfate tablets, atorvastatin, and resuvastatin.
Cerebral atrophy is incurable and has a chronic progressive process. Once it occurs, it is usually difficult to be reversed, which seriously affects the patient’s spirit and quality of life.
For cerebral atrophy caused by lacunar cerebral infarction, it can be prevented from recurrence of cerebral infarction and further progression of the disease by standardizing the use of antiplatelet aggregation drugs, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, and plaque stabilizing drugs, such as atorvastatin, resuvastatin, and other treatments.
At the same time, related risk factors should be controlled, such as controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, eating a light diet in daily life, quitting smoking and avoiding alcohol, exercising appropriately, and ensuring sufficient sleep.
Patients with lacunar cerebral infarction and cerebral atrophy need to follow the doctor’s prescription for medication.
