Post - Stroke Rehabilitation

Positive Mind Care and Research Centre is a leading mental health care  facility of Delhi – NCR, dedicated to helping individuals to overcome Major Depressive Disorder and reclaim their joyful lives through a unique breakthrough technology called Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS), which can reach significant depth and breadth of the brain and produce broad stimulation and functional modulation of targeted brain areas to help treat MDD.

Deep TMS treatment features unique, patented coils that are fitted into a helmet, which is secured snugly to the patient’s head during the treatment. We are using BrainsWay’s therapy, which has been utilized in over 60 clinical trials worldwide. The company’s device has been FDA approved for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) since 2013, FDA cleared (De-Novo) for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since 2018, FDA cleared as an aid for short-term Smoking Cessation since 2020, and has now received an expanded indication for Anxious Depression.

What is Post - Stroke Rehabilitation?

Post-stroke rehabilitation is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to helping individuals recover and regain function after having a stroke. Stroke is a medical condition that occurs when there is a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain damage and often resulting in various neurological deficits.

Post-stroke rehabilitation aims to address the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social challenges that can arise after a stroke. It typically involves a team of healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and social workers, who work together to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan for the individual.

The duration and intensity of post-stroke rehabilitation vary depending on the severity of the stroke and the individual’s specific needs and progress. Rehabilitation may take place in various settings, such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centers, or even at home.

Post-stroke rehabilitation plays a critical role in helping stroke survivors maximize their recovery potential, improve their quality of life, and regain independence in their daily activities. It is essential to initiate rehabilitation as soon as possible after a stroke to optimize outcomes and support the individual’s long-term recovery journey.

POST - STROKE REHABILITATION DEMOGRAPHICS

About 1,85,000 strokes occur every year in India with nearly one stroke every 40 seconds and one stroke death every 4 minutes.

SYMPTOMS

The goals of stroke rehabilitation are aimed at helping individuals who have experienced a stroke recover and regain function to the greatest extent possible. The specific goals may vary depending on the individual’s needs, the severity of the stroke, and the type of deficits they have. However, some common goals of stroke rehabilitation include:

Physical Recovery: To improve strength, balance, and coordination, and regain mobility and the ability to perform daily activities such as walking, standing, and getting in and out of bed or a chair.

Cognitive Rehabilitation: To address cognitive deficits, such as difficulties with memory, attention, problem-solving, and language, to enhance cognitive function and support the individual’s ability to participate in daily tasks.

Speech and Language Improvement: To help individuals overcome communication challenges, such as speech impairments or difficulties with language comprehension and expression.

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: To assist individuals in relearning or adapting daily tasks, such as dressing, bathing, eating, and grooming, to regain independence and improve self-care abilities.

Swallowing Rehabilitation: To address difficulties with swallowing (dysphagia) and improve safety and efficiency during eating and drinking.

Psychological and Emotional Support: To provide counseling and emotional support to help individuals cope with the emotional impact of stroke, such as depression, anxiety, and adjustment to the life changes caused by the stroke.

Functional Independence: To work towards the individual’s ability to live as independently as possible and participate in meaningful activities, such as hobbies, work, and social interactions.

Prevention of Secondary Complications: To minimize the risk of additional health issues, such as pressure sores, joint contractures, and pneumonia, which can arise due to immobility or other stroke-related factors.

Education and Training: To educate both the individual and their family members about stroke recovery, managing risk factors, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent future strokes and promote long-term well-being.

Stroke rehabilitation is a dynamic and ongoing process that may take place in various settings, such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, outpatient clinics, or even at home. The rehabilitation team, which often includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and social workers, works collaboratively to tailor a personalized rehabilitation plan to support the individual’s recovery journey. Early initiation of rehabilitation after a stroke is crucial to maximize recovery potential and achieve the best possible outcomes.

How does Deep TMS Work ?

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has been studied as a potential treatment for various neuropsychiatric conditions, including smoking addiction. While the research in this area is still ongoing, Deep TMS has shown some promising results in helping individuals with smoking addiction. Here’s how Deep TMS may help in treating smoking addiction:

  • Targeting Reward and Craving Pathways: Deep TMS can be applied to specific brain regions associated with reward processing and cravings, such as the prefrontal cortex and the insula. These brain areas play a role in the reinforcement and motivation aspects of addiction, including smoking.
  • Reducing Cravings and Withdrawal Symptoms: By stimulating targeted brain regions, Deep TMS may help reduce cravings for nicotine and alleviate withdrawal symptoms that individuals experience when trying to quit smoking.
  • Modulating Neurotransmitters: Deep TMS can influence the release and activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are involved in the reward system. By modulating these neurotransmitters, Deep TMS may impact the pleasure and reinforcement associated with smoking.
  • Enhancing Self-Control and Decision-Making: Some research suggests that Deep TMS may improve cognitive functions related to self-control and decision-making. Strengthening these abilities can be beneficial in resisting the urge to smoke and making healthier choices.
  • Long-Term Effects on Craving Reduction: Studies have shown that Deep TMS sessions can lead to long-lasting effects on reducing cravings, making it a potential treatment option for maintaining abstinence from smoking in the long term.
  • Personalized Treatment: Deep TMS allows for individualized treatment by targeting specific brain regions relevant to each person’s smoking addiction. This personalized approach may lead to more effective outcomes.
