Treatment Options

Outpatient, home-health, and inpatient rehabilitation therapies are all common options for the patient, again depending on their severity. In general, a team-based therapy approach should be employed for the patient to get the most well-rounded care and improvement — this would include a mix of physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Alongside therapeutic opportunities, pharmacologic treatments are common for stroke patients as well. In general, the impact of stroke can lead to a wide range of possible diagnoses and additional treatments. For example, someone who acquires visual deficits with stroke may require the addition of optical therapy; someone who begins feeling depressed may require mental health treatment or SSRIs, which can also improve motor function.
