Patient's question:
My relative had a stroke three months ago. They are conscious but unable to move their limbs or respond verbally. My relative said that oxygen therapy is beneficial for stroke patients, but we are now in the recovery phase of the stroke. Is oxygen still effective? What is the role of oxygen therapy in stroke?Doctor's answer:
First, oxygen therapy has little significant therapeutic effect on patients with cerebral infarction. The rehabilitation of cerebral infarction is not only targeted at the disease itself but also based on the entire body, implementing comprehensive rehabilitation from physical, psychological, social, and economic aspects. The ultimate goal is to improve quality of life, engage in daily activities, and fully resume work, making life more meaningful. It is not only necessary to train patients to adapt to their surroundings but also to create an environment that helps them reintegrate into society.
