Announcement:
The lecture examines key aspects of post-stroke rehabilitation that are relevant for primary care physicians.
Key points:
- Epidemiology: In Russia, > 130 thousand strokes are registered annually, 90% of which are ischemic. Up to 85% of patients experience movement disorders, speech disorders and cognitive deficits.
- Economic burden: the cost of treating one case reaches 1–1.5 million rubles, including long-term care and loss of ability to work.
- The main risk factors: arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, obesity and smoking are the key triggers of atherothrombotic and lacunar strokes.
Modern approaches to rehabilitation:
- Three-stage model:
- Stage 1: Early rehabilitation in hospital (first 21 days).
- Stage 2: specialized centers (up to 3-6 months).
- Stage 3: Outpatient observation (up to 12 months).
- The role of drug therapy: the drug Mexidol (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate)
- Improves the restoration of neurological functions.
- Reduces the risk of recurrent stroke by 5 times in patients with hypertension.
- Corrects cognitive and emotional disorders (depression, anxiety).
- Practical recommendations:
- Scheme of application of Mexidol:
- 14 days intravenously at 500 mg/day → 2 months orally (Mexidol Forte 250 mg × 3 times a day).
- Optimally, 2 courses per year.
- Scheme of application of Mexidol:
- The Importance of a Multidisciplinary Approach: Combination of Medication, Physical Rehabilitation and Psychological Support.
