Treatment

---

There is no 'cure' for stroke - yet.
You can't have a brain bypass, or restore the 'dead' cells to life.

The treatment for stroke usually consists of:

Stabilizing and Assessing the damage, followed by:

Drug Therapy to prevent further strokes, and may include ...

Physiotherapy to start the process of re-building pathways in the brain

Occupational Therapy to help you to do functional things (like making a cuppa).

Speech and Language Therapy to help you rebuild your language functions

Research Both of Nottingham's hospitals are teaching and 'learning' hospitals and you may be asked
if you would be willing to take part in a Stroke Research Project.
None of the options above would be available without 'research into stroke',
so please think about your answer before you respond!

Here is a message about taking part in Research from a stroke conqueror (click on): Research and Stroke
