The lesions of brainstem infarction cannot be recovered and softening foci will be formed, but the symptoms of brainstem infarction can be recovered somewhat. Most patients can recover 80% of their functions after standard treatment and rehabilitation exercises. The degree of recovery in patients with brainstem infarction is related to the severity and location of brainstem infarction, as well as the aggressiveness of treatment and whether it is timely. In the case of large brainstem infarcts, including infarcts in the pons, midbrain, and medulla oblongata, these patients are more severely affected and generally have difficulty recovering. For patients with milder brainstem infarction, generally within 6 hours of onset, treatment such as thrombolysis and embolization can be used to directly open the blood vessels and restore the blood supply to the infarcted lesion, thus improving the discomfort symptoms. There is a high probability that this part of patients can recover subsequently. If patients miss the time of thrombolysis and embolism retrieval for brainstem infarction, they can be treated with drugs that improve microcirculation and nourish brain nerves, such as aspirin, atorvastatin and other drugs, under the guidance of doctors to promote the recovery of brain function. Through active treatment to protect the brain and improve circulation, brain function can be gradually restored. In addition, rehabilitation training treatment is also particularly important for the recovery of cerebral infarction patients, and rehabilitation training treatment of passive and active movements can be carried out according to the patients’ own limb movement ability and the degree of paralysis. Generally, a part of the functions caused by brainstem infarction can be restored through a combination of medication and rehabilitation training.
