Since I have huge amounts of dead brain these are the therapies I am using to try to get them moved to another location. This is not actually recovering the dead brain, it is trying to move the functions that area of brain controlled to another place. This is probably the hardest thing to do, especially with no research guidance or medical support on how to do this. So this is just my opinion only, try your doctors to see if they have anything better and then reply here.

researchers found that cycles of heat and cold significantly enhanced the
sensory and motor function in the arms and hands of stroke survivors after a few weeks of therapy.
Music therapy: I am way too late for this to help but this should be part of every survivors' therapy in the hospital.

I don't think I could have handled Kenny in the hospital.
Lucid dreaming: This one is just my completely off-the-wall idea. Why waste the time spent sleeping. Of course I have no proof/research that supports this. I try to dream using my pre-stroke abilities.
Do not take any of this as medical advice
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
