17 Oct, 2025
A » A neurologist diagnoses a stroke using imaging tests like CT or MRI scans to identify brain damage. Blood tests, carotid ultrasound, and echocardiography may also be conducted. Treatment depends on stroke type: ischemic strokes may require clot-busting drugs or mechanical thrombectomy, while hemorrhagic strokes might need surgical intervention. Rehabilitation, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, often follows to aid recovery and restore function.
