Deans' stroke musings: Massachusetts General Hospital Study Highlights Role of Emotional and Social Wellbeing in Stroke Recovery

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.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Massachusetts General Hospital Study Highlights Role of Emotional and Social Wellbeing in Stroke Recovery

Useless! You don't tell us EXACTLY HOW TO DELIVER THAT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL RECOVERY!

If you can't tell us that simple request; WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU USELESSLY DOING IN STROKE RESEARCH?

Massachusetts General Hospital Study Highlights Role of Emotional and Social Wellbeing in Stroke Recovery

A recent study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital has highlighted the multifaceted challenges faced by stroke survivors during recovery. Led by Dr. Nirupama Yechoor, the research emphasizes the importance of addressing emotional and social wellbeing in addition to physical rehabilitation for individuals recovering from strokes. The findings, published in *JAMA Network Open*, aim to deepen understanding of the lived experiences of stroke survivors and identify barriers that may hinder their overall recovery process.

The study explores how emotional health and social factors play a critical role in stroke recovery outcomes, alongside traditional physical therapies. Researchers examined various aspects of post-stroke life, including psychological resilience, access to social support networks, and the impact these factors have on long-term rehabilitation success. By focusing on these often-overlooked dimensions, the study seeks to provide a more comprehensive view of recovery challenges faced by stroke patients.
