Q. 2. What are the signs of a stroke, and when should I seek help?
A. Common stroke signs include sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, confusion, trouble seeing, or severe headache. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek medical help immediately, as quick intervention can minimize brain damage and improve recovery chances.
Q. 3. What is an interventional procedure in neurology?
A. An interventional procedure involves using minimally invasive techniques to treat neurological conditions. For stroke patients, this might include procedures like thrombectomy (removing a clot), angioplasty, or stent placement to restore blood flow in the brain. These treatments are often done through small incisions or catheter-based techniques, allowing for faster recovery than traditional surgery.
Q. 4. How is stroke treated by an interventional neurologist?
A. Stroke treatment often involves either clot-busting medications or interventional procedures. If a stroke is caused by a blood clot, I may perform a thrombectomy to remove the clot or use other techniques to open blocked arteries, restoring blood flow. The goal is to reduce brain damage and improve outcomes through early intervention
Q. 5. What is the recovery process after a stroke or neurological procedure?
A. Recovery varies depending on the severity of the stroke and the procedure performed. After treatment, rehabilitation often involves physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy to regain lost abilities. Continuous follow-up care is essential to monitor progress, manage any complications, and help patients regain their independence.
