Many large and small vessels in the brain are connected to each other and provide nutrition to the brain. If there is a blockage anywhere in this vascular system, blood will not flow to the brain area fed by the blocked vessel and the brain cells in this area cannot be fed. As a result, some of the brain cells die and some become unable to function. This situation is called stroke.
In addition, a stroke can occur as a result of sudden rupture of one of the brain vessels and the flow of blood into the brain tissue, and this is popularly called cerebral hemorrhage.
So; Stroke occurs as a result of the brain vessel being blocked by a clot or the brain vessel rupturing.
Stroke is one of the most important causes of death in the world, after heart disease and cancer. An average of one person every minute in the United States has a stroke; Every three minutes, one person dies from a stroke. Stroke, which is the most important cause of disability in the adult population, is a cerebrovascular disease.
HOW DOES CEREBRAL VASCULAR OCCLUSION OCCUR?
Cerebral vascular occlusions occur in two basic ways, depending on the size of the vessel in which they occur.
The first is small vessel occlusions and the other is large vessel occlusions.
The larger the diameter of the occluded vessel, the greater the brain damage. It becomes heavy. Depending on the location of the blocked vein, damage to the area fed by the vein and resulting neurological losses occur. Neurological losses that are frequently observed after a stroke include sudden loss of strength (paralysis) on one side, loss of sensation, numbness, inability to see one side, slurred speech or complete loss of speech, and double vision. Generally, patients' right or left side, arm and leg are paralyzed together.
TEMPORARY ISCHEMIC ATTACKS
Temporary disruption of the blood flow of the brain. The result is a transient ischemic attack. In other words, paralysis does not occur completely, symptoms of paralysis appear for a temporary period of time. It can last a few minutes or up to 24 hours. The clot disappears on its own and the patient returns to normal. Although it seems harmless, it can cause serious damage as it is a sign of permanent paralysis. Precautions need to be taken.
RISK FACTORS
1- Diabetes
2- Heart diseases
p>3- Hypertension
4- High cholesterol level
5- Smoking
All these reasons cause damage to the brain vessels. They cause a clot to form and block the brain vessel. If you have at least one of these diseases, be careful; your brain vessels, like all your body vessels, are at risk.
If you have more than one of these diseases, fight to protect yourself with all your strength. Danger is at your door at any moment.
TREATMENT OF PARALYSIS
Stroke is a condition that develops suddenly. . The patient collapses where he is. Sometimes he may fall into a coma. Some patients do not fall into a full coma, but a state of stupor is present. The patient and his/her relatives panic and rush their patients to the emergency department of the nearest hospital.
Stroke treatment is examined in two parts.
1- ACUTE PERIOD: The patient is urgently admitted. It is the period during which he is hospitalized and he spends his time entirely in the hospital. It continues until the danger to life disappears. It ends when the condition stabilizes and the life threat disappears, and the patient is discharged home in his current condition. The patient's life-threatening situation is gone, but his paralysis has not fully recovered. It is possible to provide follow-up treatment at home.
2- CHRONIC PERIOD: These are the treatments given after the patient is discharged to his home.
HEALING OF BRAIN CELLS
As a result of vascular occlusion, some brain cells die at the time of occlusion. Some brain cells become unable to function. Let's call it "FAIGNING". Cells that die in the nervous system do not return. This is a strict rule. The recovery of stroke patients occurs as a result of the fainted cells waking up and performing their previous functions. This sobering process ends after an average of 2 years. At the end of this period, the more of the fainted cells wake up and the more they recover. After 2 years, stroke patients no longer recover. They have to live with whatever they lost throughout their lives.
Patients suffer from stroke for the first 3 to 6 months. It is very important. Because recovery is very fast in this process. As time passes, the recovery rate of brain cells begins to decrease. To explain with an example; If we say that the treatment and recovery rate in the first 6 months is worth 24 carat gold, the recovery between 6-12 months will be worth 22 carat, 12-18 months will be worth 18 carat gold, and 18-24 months will be worth silver.
Therefore, the 6 months that patients spend at home after being discharged from the hospital are very important. During this period, I absolutely RECOMMEND THE APPLICATION OFCOMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE METHODS.
TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR PATIENTS APPLYING FROM DENİZLİ (LONG TREATMENT PROGRAM)
We apply a 10-session package treatment program to patients in this period.
Treatment is applied 2 days a week in our clinic. Total implementation time is up to 5 weeks. In some cases, this period may be extended.
