Complex: Once the stroke has occurred, best approach is rehab, such as PT, OT, speech therapies. Obviously, control risk factors such as hypertension, high homocysteine, triglycerides, primary cardiac issues, stop smoking, and go onto anti platelet drug such as Aggrenox and add a statin to the mix.
