ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR STROKES
Every year in America, over 795,000 people will have a stroke that results in death or disability.
For an estimated one-third of these patients, significant assistance with activities of daily living will be required. In an ischemic stroke, cerebral blood flow is impaired and irreversible neural injury occurs within minutes. However, the tissue that surrounds the area directly affected by the ischemic stroke is at risk but has the potential for neural repair. This tissue can remain in a dysfunctional state for months to years after the stroke has occurred. Cell death and a decrease in neuronal activity after an ischemic stroke can be caused by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, all of which have a hypoxic factor. Repair of the tissue and generation of new synaptic connections is prevented by hypoxia. Ischemic strokes account for 87% of stroke cases while hemorrhagic strokes account for 13% of stroke cases.
