New Hopes For Stoke Patients...NeuroAid




Article Body:



By one year after injury, 85% of patients have a full recovery; patients with symptoms persisting for longer than



one year are classified as suffering from the persistent postconcussive syndrome. Many patients have a full recovery, and the



symptoms of instability go away. Most patients have a full recovery; however, heavy infections can lead to chronic, disabling



disease and even death. Many patients have a full recovery, though 10-20% of patients may have continued instability of the



shoulder after arthroscopic surgery.





Today, cutting-edge robotics technology is revolutionizing how stroke is diagnosed (telemedicine) and treated (robot assisted therapy).



Recent clinical trials have shown that robot-assisted therapy may help stroke patients regain arm movements, even years after a



disabling stroke. A monitor attached to the robot plays a series of video games to encourage patients to extend their arms, with



the assistance of the robot. Robot assisted therapy is only one tool in the arsenal for stroke rehabilitation. They are also assisting



on the frontline to quicken the process of stroke diagnosis.





Providing both patients and their closest family members with knowledge and skills in self-management could potentially provide



benefits similar to recent nurse-led home based intervention heart-failure programmes at a much lower cost. Out-patient



services include stroke clinics providing follow-up care to patients discharged from the in-patient service and also to non-urgent



referred patients. It may be possible to avoid admission to hospital or to reduce the length of stay by providing community support.



However, little research has focused on the experience of the peer providing support.





More and more, patients are requesting care beyond what most consider to be traditional health services.



Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) includes therapies not based on traditional Western medical teachings and may include



acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, diet and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, and massage therapy, among others. But because



Traditional Oriental medicine works preventitivly it can be incorporated into your daily life as a wellness program, just like



eating healthy, getting regular exercise, having enough sleep and having healthy meaningful relationships.





Developed in China as a traditional chinese medicine to help stroke patients achieve better rehabilitation. NeuroAid is safe and has



very few reported side effects, which have been found to beof minor concern (such as nausea, vomiting or increased thirst). NeuroAid



has shown efficacy for patients who suffered a stroke in the past 6months and have resulting loss of motor function or independence.
