Is Paralysis Permanently Curable?

Is there any permanent cure for paralysis? My father had an accident more than two years ago. He fell off his motorbike, which resulted in a head injury. The head injury later caused paralysis that affected the left side of his body. He has not recovered from the paralysis since then, despite the fact that we got the services of many physiotherapists and consulted neurosurgeons. My father is nearly 67 and feels too much disappointed.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Paralysis occurs due to affection of certain part of the brain due to lack of blood supply to that part either due to a rupture of vessel or blockage. High BP is one of the reasons. In this case accidental injury has affected the area. Usually most of the coarse movements return fairly rapiidly as collaterals restore the supply. But finer movements may return very slowly or may not come back at all depending upon the extent of damage. There is no permanent cure for this condition. The return of movements and strength is a slow process. Thanks.
