What is a mild cerebral infarction? How to treat

After brain tissue is damaged, some corresponding symptoms and signs may appear, but some patients have no symptoms and signs, and the infarction focus is only discovered during examination. What is a mild cerebral infarction? How to treat it?

What happens if you have a mild cerebral infarction?

(1) Even if there are lesions in certain areas of brain tissue, their function will not be affected.

(2) The lesion site in the brain tissue does not damage the nerve conduction bundles related to sensation and movement, which means that it does not affect the key parts.

(3) When certain small lesions cause mild brain damage, the brain has the potential to complement and replace each other's functions, so that the functional damage does not manifest itself. From the patient's perspective, when certain limited and mild signs of the nervous system are not noticed, the symptoms may be ignored and the patient may not have any conscious symptoms. For example, slight limb weakness, changes in timbre and tone are very easy to be ignored. Therefore, the absence of obvious discomfort symptoms does not mean that the risk factors for disease do not exist. Active treatment is also needed during this period.

Treatment during this period should emphasize strengthening etiological treatment, paying attention to individualized treatment, and preventing recurrence.

(1) Effective control of hypertension and various types of cerebral arteriosclerosis can reduce the likelihood of disease and is the key to preventing this disease. Antihypertensive treatment should pay attention to slow blood pressure reduction, try to maintain a stable antihypertensive effect, pay attention to the protection of target organs, and individualize antihypertensive drugs.

(2) Appropriate use of vasodilators can increase blood supply to brain tissue and promote recovery of neurological function; calcium ion antagonists can be used to reduce vasospasm, improve cerebral blood circulation, and reduce the recurrence rate of lacunar infarction.

(3) Tianxintai Thrombosis and Blood Stasis-Removing Chinese Medicine Tablets are very effective in improving blood viscosity and providing secondary prevention to prevent recurrence of the disease.

(4) Control modifiable risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

(5) Improve internal carotid artery stenosis. Internal carotid artery stenosis is one of the main causes of cerebral infarction. Improving internal carotid artery stenosis can prevent the progression of the disease.
