Treatments Initial medical treatment after a stroke includes close observation of the person and nursing measures to protect his respiratory system. If it is seen in the CT scan that there is a blood clot in the artery, it should be removed immediately by using thrombolytic drugs. This treatment may improve the consequences of a stroke, but it should not be used at all because it increases the risk of bleeding in the brain.

Medicines such as aspirin or warfarin are prescribed to prevent blood clots by thinning the blood. Long-term treatment may include antihypertensive medications to lower blood pressure and prevent further bleeding, and corticosteroids if the stroke is caused by arthritis.

Physiotherapy, in most cases of stroke, rehabilitation treatments such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy are necessary both in the hospital and at home. Also, changing habits and lifestyle, such as reducing the amount of fat in the diet and quitting smoking, can reduce the risk of another stroke in the future. Surgical treatment, and in more serious and urgent cases, several types of stroke surgery may be performed to help treat a stroke or help prevent a stroke from occurring. These surgeries include: simple and complex intracranial bypass procedures. These include craniectomy and hemispheric decompression for stroke patients with extensive brain damage.
