Whether cerebrovascular spasm can heal on its own is related to its type of onset and the patient’s physical condition, and should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Generally, cerebral vasospasm is caused by exertion, stress or emotional changes, and patients may experience headaches and, in severe cases, neurological deficits. Neurological deficits are most often seen in the elderly, where vasospasm occurs on the basis of vascular stenosis. In the case of cerebral vasospasm in middle-aged and young adults, there is a possibility of self-healing when the trigger is reduced or disappears. If cerebral vasospasm occurs in elderly patients, it is recommended to apply vasospasm-relieving drugs, such as flunarizine hydrochloride or static doses of circulation-improving drugs, and to monitor the intima for plaque formation and, if necessary, to take oral intima-protective drugs.
