Hello,

In order for accurate advice to be given more information would be needed, starting with patient sex and age, symptoms and current state, prior medical conditions, tests he's had to diagnose this clot and to determine its origin. It is such information which would allow an evaluation of whether everything has been done for him/her.

Speaking in general about brain damage due to a blood clot in the brain what your doctor has told you is correct. Such brain damage is permanent. Improvement is hoped when damage is not too extensive, but it is due to the undamaged brain compensating for the damaged cells, that process requires months and it is usually a partial improvement not 100% of the previous state. It is not a question of medications, medication is prescribed mainly to prevent other clots with more severe consequences from happening in the future, little can be done for the cells permanently lost by the clot.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
