The time to recover from a brain attack is within six months of onset, which is 180 days. The optimal recovery time is within two weeks after the onset of the disease. For patients with cerebral infarction, they are divided into acute, hyper-acute, recovery and post-acute periods according to the time of onset. The hyper-acute and acute phases are the best treatment periods for cerebral infarction. The hyper-acute phase is within six hours of onset, and intravenous thrombolytic therapy is given as much as possible if it is suitable for thrombolysis, which can rapidly restore cerebral blood flow and improve brain tissue metabolism, and can reduce the sequelae and mortality of patients. The treatment for patients in the acute phase is mainly neuroprotection, anti-platelet aggregation, anticoagulation, improvement of blood circulation, mitochondrial protection and rehabilitation. If the patient has somatic neurological signs and symptoms and the disease is severe, rehabilitation therapy is given as early as possible when the disease is stabilized. Antiplatelet agents mainly include aspirin, neuroprotective drugs mainly edaravone, cytidylcholine and cerebroprotein hydrolysate, and drugs to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis mainly include salvia, safflower and leeches, etc. During the recovery period, the treatment is mainly based on rehabilitation, while anti-platelet aggregation, lipid regulation and plaque stabilization are given to prevent reinfarction by secondary prevention treatment.
