Suffered A Stroke In The Right Side Of The Brain, Large Clot Blocked The Artery. Will Rehabilitation Help?
My wife has had a stroke in the right side of her brain, it seems that the clote was very large and blocked the artery . She was given drugs to dissolve the clot but these did not work and this part of her brain has been damaged. She has to go into rehabilation. I would like to know if how successful this would be. My wife is 62years old

HISTORY SHOWS THAT YOUR WIFE IS HAVING ISCHEMIC STROKE. FIRST TRY TO KNOW THE CAUSE AND WE NEED TO PREVENT THE CAUSE LIKE HYPERLIPEDEMIA, HIGH CHOLESTERAIN LEVEL ETC, PRESSURE NEED MONITORING ALWAYS TO PREVENT FURTHER STROKE INCIDENT.
NEURONS/ BRAIN TISSUE ONCE DAMAGED ARE IRREVERSIBLE MEANS CANNT REGENERATE. SO, WE HAVE TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE BY STRICT REGULATION OF VITALS . SOMETIMES , HEMIPLEGIA MAY BE ASSOCIATED WHICH NEED TO MANAGE IN PROPER WAY.
TAKE NEUROVITAMINS. ALSO IF THE CLOT DOES NOT GOES, INTRARTERIAL THROMBECTOMY CAN BE T TRIED.
