Drug therapy for disorders after strokes and TBI

Particular socially significant diseases include diseases of the cardiovascular system and the cerebrovascular system. The number of registered stroke patients in the Russian Federation annually reaches 550,000 people, whereas the number of those who have suffered a brain traumatic injury accounts for about 600,000 people every year. In addition, 30% of stroke cases affect people of working age, while in 95% of cases head injuries are sustained by young people. The effects of these conditions can often be severe and require long-term treatment.
Complications of a stroke and TBI
Strokes and TBI are primarily dangerous due to the potential complications they can produce. For instance, focal brain damage can be fatal. Only about 15% of patients who have suffered from these conditions return to their normal lifestyle and about 70% become disabled. Half of the patients noted, develop hemiparesis and disruptions of the higher mental functions. Problems arise not only in the life of the patient, but also in the life of his/her family, as such patients often need constant care and assistance in movements. Stroke or TBI occurring in childhood can cause such severe disorders as aphasia or dysarthria. Children with impaired speech and disruptions of higher mental functions experience learning difficulties. Special programs of correction and treatment are necessary to develop cognitive functions.
Opportunities that neurorehabilitation provides
Neurorehabilitation is a system which includes a complex set of procedures and techniques aimed at restoring impaired functions after disease. This includes observation by the specialists and means of restorative treatment. Depending on the severity and specificity of a particular disease, various methods of restorative treatment can be applied. Drug therapy, physical exercises, physiotherapy, and psychotherapy may be used. A large number of effective modern techniques which utilize the best and the latest technologies and devices exists today.
Drug therapy in neurorehabilitation
Drug therapy plays an important role in the restoration of impaired functions. Drugs improve the process of neuroplasticity. It helps to fight post-stroke changes such as dysfunction of synaptic transmission or destabilization of cell membranes.
Depending on the severity of the disease and its symptoms drug therapy may include:

• medications that improve metabolism in the cerebral structure;
• церебральные ангиопротекторы;
• cerebral angioprotectors;
• sedatives;
• antihypertensive drugs;
• antidiabetic drugs;
• vasoactive drugs;
• sanogenetic drugs;
• symptomatic medications, etc.

For example, restoration of speech and memory after a stroke requires a long-term treatment of nootropic drugs. The nearby drugstore мdoes not always have the right drug at its disposal. An online drugstore can solve this problem by offering a wide range of angioprotective, sedative and nootropic medication.
