Stroke Treatment

Stroke treatment is determined depending on the patient's condition and the type of stroke. In the acute phase of a stroke, emergency treatments such as clot-dissolving medications or surgery to remove the clot may be administered. During the rehabilitation phase, the patient is supported to regain lost functions and return to daily living activities through methods such as physical therapy, speech therapy and nutritional counseling. Early intervention is important in stroke treatment, and long-term management is achieved through a multidisciplinary approach along with drug treatments and lifestyle changes. In addition to constant medical supervision and rehabilitation, education of patients and their families is also important.
