A stroke is caused by a sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, this usually happens due to a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a bleed (hemorrhagic stroke). They can happen suddenly at any age and can cause long-term and life-long challenges with movement, speech, and memory – affecting both day to day life and independence. The results of a stroke can be life-changing both for the patient and their loved ones, something we understand well at Verita Neuro. We provide a range of treatments to help re-establish some normality for both our patients and their carers and loved ones, helping to support recovery, reduce symptoms, and offer hope for the future.
What is a Stroke?
The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen, and therefore blood, in order to function – and when the blood flow is interrupted brain cells are deprived of what they need to survive. When a stroke occurs brain cells can be damaged or even die, leading to partial paralysis, weakness on one side of the body, loss of coordination, impaired speech, difficulty swallowing, sensory loss, and cognitive decline. Every stroke is different and the effects of the stroke depend on the amount of time before medical attention, the severity of the stroke, and the location of the brain injury.
How We Approach Stroke at Verita Neuro
There is no quick fix to a stroke, each case takes time, patience, and a comprehensive approach that helps to address brain repair, motor retraining, and the management of symptoms. At Verita Neuro we offer a combination of treatments to help regenerate damaged or dead cells, repair damaged neurological paths, and provide rehabilitation to put the science into action.
Treatments for Stroke at Verita Neuro
Brain Stimulation
Brain Stimulation, or BrainStim, is one of the most innovative treatments we offer at Verita Neuro. The treatment involves implanting a strip of electrodes over the motor cortex – the area responsible for movement. Our expert surgeons will determine the best location to implant the device and using Neuromodulation we hope to stimulate and recover damaged pathways and recover communication between the brain and body.
Benefits of BrainStim can include:
- Improved motor function and coordination
- Increased sensory awareness
- Improvements with speech and swallowing
- Better levels of focus and cognitive clarity
- Lower neuropathic pain
Stem Cell Treatment
Stem Cell treatment can also be helpful in supporting stroke recovery by helping to repair damaged tissues while encouraging the regeneration of neural pathways. As with all of our Stem Cell treatments we only offer fresh Stem Cells – proven to be more potent than frozen cells – giving you the best chance of success when it comes to recovery.
Our patients have reported improvements with:
- Strength and voluntary movement
- Increased coordination and balance
- Reduced spasticity
- Higher levels of stamina
- Improved sensory functions
