Long term brain damage
High blood pressure or head trauma are frequently subsequent causes of stroke or paralysis. The afflicted area of the brain affects the symptoms of a stroke. Everything you need to know about brain stroke's causes, symptoms, treatments, stem cell therapy, and preventative measures is provided here.
Stroke, commonly referred to as paralysis, is an attack on the brain brought on by bleeding or a restricted oxygen supply (due to a blockage). Stroke typically develops as a result of another medical problem, such as high blood pressure or occasionally head trauma, and its symptoms vary on the area of the brain that is affected.

According to Dr. Pradeep Mahajan, a researcher in regenerative medicine at StemRx Bioscience Solutions Pvt Ltd in Navi Mumbai, "commonly, we notice changes in walking style, weakness in limbs..
In the first 60 minutes following an attack, known as the "golden hour," emergency therapy is crucial to preventing long-term brain damage, he said. Unfortunately, not many patients arrive at a hospital in time to begin treatment right away due to a number of issues. As a result, patients frequently experience residual function impairment and a lengthier recovery period.
To ensure that a patient regains their functional ability, we therefore require therapies that are effective in the early stages of the illness as well as during recovery and the subsequent period.
Dr. Pradeep Mahajan states that "the treatment regimen varies in different periods. For instance, if a patient seeks care immediately after suffering a stroke, the focus of therapy would be on eliminating the cause (removing/dissolving the clot or ceasing bleeding). The patient would then need to have any scar tissues in the brain removed or reduced, if any, or their muscle strength would need to be increased, etc. If the patient is brought in later—sometimes even months later—to manage the functional disability.
"Conventional treatments have restrictions and negative effects," he said. They operate well during the acute phase and in an emergency, but not so well during the functional recovery. This is so because they are primarily focused on the symptoms and indicators. We require a strategy similar to regenerative medicine, which deals with the pathophysiology.
Cells, growth factors, peptides, exosomes, chaperones, and other components are employed in cell-based therapy, a subspecialty of regenerative medicine, to treat a variety of illnesses.
The underlying idea is that these molecules and cells are already present in the body and serve to maintain the internal milieu of the body as well as repair damage to cells and tissues that occurs on a daily basis.
"In the case of stroke, cell-based therapy can offer a healthy reservoir of stem cells from an alternative location in the body (often bone marrow, which is the source of stem cells) that grow and improve the performance of other cells. The aforementioned biological molecules can also increase blood and oxygen flow, reduce swelling, remove dead tissue from the affected area, and other things, delivering all-around results, according to Dr. Mahajan.
"We have witnessed great development in the ability to walk, speak, and carry out daily activities independently," he continued. Rehabilitation is a continuous process, but the effects last for a very long time, making it easier for the patient to resume daily activities and maintain their quality of life.
