Looking at the general aging trends, I don't see any hope for stroke survivors in the future under current scenarios. Stroke right now is a complete failure: And nobody is acknowledging that, least of all the ASA, NSA and WSO.
1. tPA efficacy is only 12%
2. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
3. Nothing to cure fatigue, spasticity, cognitive decline, aphasia.
4. We are not stopping all the dying of neurons in the neuronal cascade of death.
If we just triple the number of strokes between now and 2100 and don't fix any of these problems, future stroke survivors are going to be totally fucking screwed.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 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.
