For example, taking drugs to control high blood pressure, such as nifedipine, captopril, chlorosartan and other antihypertensive drugs, to prevent recurrence of cerebral hemorrhage; taking baclofen and other drugs to alleviate the symptoms of hypertonia of the patient; and taking nutritive neurological drugs, such as methylcobalamin and ganglioside, to promote the functional recovery and so on.
2. Rehabilitation therapy: After the patient’s condition is stabilized, rehabilitation therapy can be carried out according to the doctor’s instruction, and a rehabilitation plan can be formulated under the guidance of professional doctors. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, traditional rehabilitation therapy, etc. are common. It is recommended that patients receive comprehensive rehabilitation treatment as early as possible to obtain the best recovery effect and reduce complications.
5.

Common examples include changing the patient’s position at regular intervals, supplying nutritious and easy-to-digest food, and performing massage. The better the care, the better the patient’s quality of life and recovery.
Hemiplegia is treatable, and patients should receive treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor with a positive and optimistic mindset in order to obtain the best recovery results, and should not blindly take medication on their own in order to avoid adverse consequences.
