Cognitive impairment after a cerebral infarction usually recovers in about 2 weeks if thrombolytic therapy is administered promptly within the window period. If the window period of thrombolytic therapy is missed, the recovery period will be prolonged, which may be one year or even longer.
If cognitive impairment occurs after a cerebral infarction, as long as thrombolysis is administered within the window of thrombolytic therapy, blood flow to the cerebral vessels will be restored, brain nerve function will be restored, and cognitive impairment will be restored.
If the window period of thrombolytic therapy is missed, and the cerebral infarction is large, and even some complications occur, the treatment difficulty increases, and the recovery period will be extended accordingly, which may be one year or more.
If cognitive impairment occurs after cerebral infarction, the specific recovery period is mainly related to the infarction site, area, and the availability of timely treatment. Once cerebral infarction occurs, it is recommended to actively cooperate with professional doctors to carry out standardized treatment and control the condition as soon as possible.
