Microstroke. Treatment and rehabilitation, the consequences for women, men. First aid, medicines, folk remedies, products, systems,

Microstroke - a circulatory disorder of small blood vessels in the brain. Treatment of the pathological process and restoration of the CNS functions need to be addressed together with the neurologist.

What is a minor stroke

Transient poor circulation in the main body of the central nervous system, called mini-strokes. This pathological condition is manifested and focal cerebral deficits.

Unlike acute CNS process for TIA characterized by a complete recovery of neurological functions of the body throughout the day. After the crisis may remain light symptoms of organic brain damage, which is not say about stroke - symptoms do not resolve within 24 hours, and without the intervention of doctors leads to death person.

Effects

Pathological tissue changes in the main body of the central nervous system caused due to circulatory disorders, have a number of consequences:

• memory impairment;
• lack of physical strength;
• lowering of mental activity;
• becomes intolerable character;
• violation of verbal communication;
• distortion of facial muscles;
• drop visual development;
• cephalalgia;
• the inability to make a sip;
• reduction in the reaction rate;
• depression mental condition.

Risk factors and possible causes

In cerebrovascular accident there is always a reason, as well as circumstances that increase the likelihood of developing the disease. In time to prevent pathological changes in the CNS should know the risk factors, which include the need to:

• excess weight;
• chronic pancreatic hormone deficiency;
• genetic predisposition;
• cardiovascular disease;
• persistent increase in blood pressure;
• age-related changes in the body;
• state of the atmosphere;
• calendar of the year;
• overvoltage protective reaction of the organism as the adverse factors;
• emotional instability;
• adverse weather conditions;
• excessive use of harmful products;
• alcoholism;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• nicotine dependence;
• abnormal lipid metabolism.

Reasons microstroke:

• Acute occlusion of a blood vessel by a thrombus break away from the site and into the circulating blood;
• mismatch of myocardial contractility metabolic needs of the body;
• circulatory disorder of the heart muscle due to coronary artery disease;
• arthroplasty;
• reduced levels of red blood cells;
• carbon monoxide poisoning;
• thickening liquid connective tissue;
• myocardial pathology of internal folds;
• disruptions in heart beat;
• abnormal accumulation of cholesterol on the walls of the aortic vessels;
• changes in intracardiac hemodynamics;
• breaking local expansion of the lumen of the brain arteries.

symptoms

Microinsult (treatment and recovery of the body after crisis be carried out in accordance with the cause, provoked pathology) - is poor circulation in the brain. This disease affects both men and women.

For vascular crisis characterized by certain symptoms:

men	Women
Unsteadiness of gait.	Sudden syncopal crisis.
loss of sensation in the limbs.	Problems and disturbances in verbal communication.
Violation of stability and balance.	Raskoordinirovannost expressive movements of the facial muscles.
Distal and proximal lack of forces.	Temporarily forgetting information.
Sensory impairment in half of the body.	reduced sensitivity at different parts of the body.
Difficulty in viewing objects with both eyes.	Misperception internal feelings and objective reality.
Loss of ability to intelligible speech.
Attack transient syncope epileptic nature.
Acute injury of the facial muscles.	Difficulty in viewing the items.
When lifting the upper limb with one hand is not retained.	The sensation that precedes vomiting.
Temporary memory loss.	Increased work of sweat glands.
When you try to smile face remains stationary.	Painful sensation of cold.
Small goose rash all over the body without feeling cold.	Intolerance to bright light.
Lack of understanding of what is happening around.	Emotional discomfort.
The desire to sleep.

The first signs

Approaching poor circulation in the main body of the central nervous system, as a rule, has several predecessors, which include:

• growing pain in the skull;

  

• a condition in which a sense of balance is lost and all seems whirling and vibrating;
• loss of sensation in different parts of the body;
• vague and blurred vision;
• sharp decline of forces;
• a painful sensation in the pit of the stomach prior to vomiting;
• incoordination movements;
• inability to concentrate on the conversation;
• colored flies in sight;
• Frequent spasmodic contraction of the muscles.

First aid

Microstroke - a condition in which you can not hesitate to call the brigade ambulance emergency.

Until the arrival of medical professionals should follow some simple steps to help the sick person:

• to improve breathing is necessary to release the neck and chest from hindering clothing;
• to avoid strangulation of the patient vomit should be put to one side face down;
• possible to open the doors and windows for fresh air;
• We need to measure and record blood pressure indicators;
• in the case of fainting is necessary to raise the man and put on a comfortable place;
• It should pay attention to how long it takes an attack;
• do not try to feed or water the victim;
• try to talk quietly;
• you can not self-medicate.

microstroke treatment

Microstroke (treatment and rehabilitation should be carried out under the supervision of a neurologist) - is a common pathology and has been well studied medicine. When the first signs of the disease need to seek help from a neurologist who knows the tactics of treatment.

As a rule, therapy of cerebral blood flow include:

• hospitalization, even if the diagnosis is not confirmed until the end;
• measures to normalize brain function disorders of vascular origin;
• commissioning tests, to rule out or confirm comorbidities;
• examination of the brain;
• If you need additional advice doctors related to the first treatment of diseases provoked poor circulation.

medication

For the treatment of circulatory disorders in the main body of the central nervous neurologist systems assign the following medicines:

drugs group	Features of action
Drugs that reduce the tone of the smooth muscles of blood vessels	contribute to the normalization tone damaged arterial and venous vessels; liquefy liquid connective tissue; improving metabolic processes in brain tissue; affect the oxygen saturation of the body; remove the calcification of the arteries; retard the formation of free radicals.
Regulators of metabolic processes	improve the oxygen-transport function of blood; maintain energy balance in the tissues; restore metabolic disorders in the body; improve oxygen utilization portion ischemic brain; promote glucose metabolism.
proofreaders microcirculation	remove the tone of skeletal muscles; dilates blood vessels; improve the movement of liquid through the capillaries of the connective tissue and arterioles; eliminate edema; contribute to the improvement of metabolic processes.
antithrombotic agents	disrupt the adhesion of platelets; do not allow to form plaques in the vascular wall; improve the properties of the liquid connective tissue.
neyrometabolicheskie stimulants	contribute to the process of memorizing information; stimulate mental and physical activity; improving metabolic processes in nervous tissues; have a positive effect on cell respiration; affect adenozitrifosfata speed; promote recycling dextrose brain cells; improve blood circulation in the main body of the central nervous system.

Recovery of motor function

One of the consequences of a breach of the liquid circulation of the connective tissue in the brain is the loss of ability to arbitrary deliberate movements, as well as the proximal and distal weakness.

Important role for the restoration of neuromuscular activity should be given a specific rehabilitation techniques:

1. classes on medical simulators:

• work out the skills of walking on stairs;
• trained force of the lower extremities;
• gives confidence to the steps;
• develop conductivity arm muscles;
• recover lost ability to fine motor skills of upper limbs;
• brush train;
• develop coordination of movements;
• contribute to the development of resistance;

2. grinding body for therapeutic purposes:

• improves blood circulation in the tissue;
• normalizes the abnormal muscle tone;
• restores sensitivity and movement;

3. Craniosacral Therapy:

• relaxes spastic muscles;
• It affects the body sympathetic tone;

4. Therapeutic exercise:

• corrects movement disorders;
• removes muscle stiffness;
• It helps restore neurological deficit;

5. Occupational therapy:

• restores simple household motor skills;
• Enhance home activity.

Recovery of

Abnormalities in brain function are accompanied by changes in the organ of vision. Usually the disease process affects the off-center point of the ability to see, as well as disturbance of accommodation.

The special features of the recovery of visual function after minor stroke include:

• drug therapy that aims at improving the microcirculation in the organ of vision;
• administering to the diet increased the amount of organic active substance retinal;
• systematic training for sensory organ.

speech Recovery

As a result, damage to the central nervous system after microstroke usually disrupted the ability to reproduce thought words. The pathology occurs due to nerve damage responsible for the process of speaking.

The basic methods of speech recovery include:

• active influence on the vocal apparatus. Massage activates the point, relaxing the muscles of articulation. The same method has an impact on the pharyngeal cavity and throat;
• the use of pharmacological agents. Enhances endurance neurons and glia to oxygen deficiency;
• training of fine motor skillsThat affect the normal functioning of the development of articulation organs;
• exercises to restore violations zvukoproiznosheniya. Classes contribute to improving the work musculocutaneous wrinkles around the mouth, tongue and cheek area.

Normalization of psychological state

Reconstructive methods after microstroke consist not only of medical treatment, but also include work with a psychologist. The consequence of cerebral vascular crises is a sense of depression the patient due to limitations in life.

To overcome the difficult stage of recovery of the body is necessary to help the person to return the previous mood and desire to live, which will contribute to the fight against disease.

Psychological rehabilitation consists of the following measures:

• consultation with a specialist who has been studying the mental life and human behavior;
• communicating with others, close and native people;
• hobbies, which the patient will be happy to deal with;
• development of a universal, comprehensive and synthetic forms of artistic modeling in front of an audience;
• constant moral approving and patient support from loved ones;
• stimulating the patient to independent living.

Recovery in the sanatorium

Good results in post-stroke rehabilitation therapy status gives a stay in a health care setting.

Features of treatment in the sanatorium is:

• the use of natural factors;
• therapeutic load controlled exercise therapy instructor;
• therapy with a variety of physical assets;
• a balanced diet, designed for a particular patient, taking into account the characteristics of the organism and the disease;
• adherence to pharmacological therapy dosed exercise and rest.

Keep in mind that you can not select a sanatorium for the treatment of cerebral circulation, are in an unfamiliar climate for the patient - it can provoke an aggravation of the pathological process.

In care institutions, therapists, doctors and neurologists prescribe procedures to facilitate rapid rehabilitation of the patient:

• grinding body for therapeutic purposes;
• acupuncture treatment, based on the stimulation of nerve endings and nodules;
• Use of liquid medicaments with various additives;
• massage performed aqueous stream.

The duration of rehabilitation procedures in a spa treatment depends on the patient and violations after minor stroke, as well as their age.

It should be noted that the highest efficiency of regenerative therapy in the care setting should expect the first 2-3 months after vascular crisis.

Rehabilitation in later periods complicated deceleration organism's reaction to the treatment process.

Recovering from a minor stroke at home

Microinsult (treatment and recovery must be carried out in accordance with the general state of the patient) or violation in the central nervous system vessels serious pathology, therapy which does not end in a hospital.

Recovering from a crisis in the brain need to keep at home, but on the advice and under the strict supervision of a neurologist, which include:

• prolonged use of pharmacological agents improving the condition and metabolic processes in brain cells and vascular system;
• basic disease therapy, provoked minor stroke;
• the use of natural home remedies, removing muscle tension - paraffin treatment, thermal water treatments;
• restoration of the emotional state by positive emotions from communication with family and loved ones.

Diet

Dietary food after suffering a minor stroke should be based on the root cause of the pathological process. The main disease provoking factors should include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, as well as diabetes.

The recovery period dietitian based survey to develop tactics of diet therapy, which usually includes:

• Used restriction salt and sucrose;
• the use of a fractional power;
• cooking for a couple.

Food:

Allowed	illicit
Natural vegetable oil first pressing.	Spicy and salty dishes.
Vegetables in any form.	Refined oil.
Bakery products from wheat flour.	Canned foods.
Sea fish.	Any seasoning.
Lean poultry.	Alcohol.
Cereals.	Any fatty meat.
Vegetable Soup without addition of meat.	Caffeine drinks.
Green tea.	Products made from white flour.
Compote and jelly.

Mode, and bad habits

Full recovery after vascular accident is impossible without revising lifestyle, which should include the mode of the day:

1. Morning toilet comprises measuring body temperature, and pressure.
2. Be sure to ventilate the room several times a day.
3. A light breakfast with medication prescribed by a doctor, a neurologist.
4. After the morning meal patient should rest.
5. snack time includes the use of fruit and implementation of physical activity recommended by the rehabilitator.
6. Relax with a pleasant communication, can walk.
7. dining meal time.
8. Required sleep after eating.
9. After waking control measurement of body temperature and blood pressure.
10. The evening meal and pharmaceuticals.
11. Preparations for the night.
12. Night's rest.

The daily routine in the first period after the hospital treatment microstroke should be as gentle. In the future, in accordance with the condition of the patient, the daily regimen should be gradually diversify.

In order not to provoke a re crisis and speed up the body's recovery process is necessary to give up bad habits:

• unbalanced diet, contribute to disruption of metabolism and the accumulation of excess weight;
• physical inactivity;
• nicotine, which disrupts the blood vessels;
• alcoholic beverages that contribute to the accumulation of lipids in the bloodstream.

Phytotherapy

Microinsult (treatment and recovery should be complex crisis) - pathology, wherein treatment is the use of medicinal plants. Herbal is safe and effective alternate method to the recovery period of vascular disease.

Treatment plants include:

• herbal external application liquids for removing muscle tension;
• use for relaxation pillows filled with herbs;
• the use of complex herbal concoctions.

Folk remedies in the rehabilitation process

Treatment of minor strokes is to treat the underlying causes that provoked the pathological process. The use of medicinal plants will help to normalize the pressure, improve vascular tone. Herbal infusions good fight with cholesterol deposits in the bloodstream, which are often the cause of minor strokes.

Folk remedies:

1. Pine broth. It is necessary to take 0.5 liters of leaf-like organs of gymnosperms. Pour into a container, cover 1: 6 with hot water. Boil for 20 minutes. Cool. Use broth instead of tea.
2. Barannik mountain. It is placed 100 g of a medicinal plant into a thermos. Pour 1 liter of boiling water. Close the lid. After a couple of hours, the infusion can be used. You must drink a drink half a cup of morning and evening.
3. Means for grinding. We need to take 0.5 liters of ethyl alcohol and the same quantity of lavender oil. Mix thoroughly. Rub the immobilized body part.
4. Salvia. It is brewed with boiling water a pinch of the herb. Insist. Drink tea instead of the composition is necessary several times a day.
5. Raskadisty zheltushnik. Take 5 g of grass. Pour boiling water. Cool to room temperature. Drink 1 tbsp. l. morning and evening.

To avoid repeated vascular crises, it is necessary to pay special attention microstroke treatment that appoint a neurologist, and to take seriously the remediation, it is recommended rehabilitator.
