Can Paralysis Caused by Brainstem Infarction Be Recovered?

1. Brainstem infarction generally refers to brainstem infarction. Through active rehabilitation training and medication, hemiplegia caused by brainstem infarction can be improved to a certain extent, but it cannot fully recover like a normal person.

2. For patients with mild hemiplegia due to brainstem infarction, early and timely thrombolytic drugs, such as intravenous urokinase and streptokinase injection therapy, followed by long-term treatment to improve microcirculation and protect brain nerve drugs, due to early protective and active treatment measures, can better improve brainstem infarction hemiplegia. At the same time, with active rehabilitation training, symptoms will greatly improve within 3 to 6 months.

3. If the symptoms are severe and there is no active treatment in the early stage, recovery will be difficult after 6 months, leaving more neurological deficit symptoms. Most of them cannot recover and will experience permanent hemiplegia. However, clinically stimulating the brain to form new neural circuits, combined with active rehabilitation training, can improve the phenomenon of hemiplegia to a certain extent.

4. In daily life, it is recommended that patients focus on exercising the functions of their limbs and regularly engage in fine activities to prevent disuse muscle atrophy in the affected limb.
