[메디컬투데이=김준수 기자] During seasonal changes with large daily temperature differences, the risk of developing cerebrovascular disease increases. A representative cerebrovascular disease is ‘stroke’. The reason why stroke is affected by external factors such as temperature changes is because the constriction and relaxation of blood vessels are affected by temperature. If you are in a warm room and are suddenly exposed to cold outside air, your blood vessels will constrict and your blood pressure will rise, putting you at greater risk of stroke.
Stroke is a disease with scary sequelae and recurrence. In particular, stroke is one of the three major causes of death for Koreans, along with cancer and heart disease, and is a dangerous disease as it ranks first in mortality as a single disease. More than half of survivors will experience serious followingeffects, and efforts should be made to minimize the followingeffects through rehabilitation treatment.
Stroke can be divided into cerebral infarction, which occurs when a blood vessel is occluded, and cerebral hemorrhage, which occurs when blood flows into the brain tissue due to rupture of a blood vessel. If brain cells die due to lack of blood supply, brain function is impaired. Once the acute phase of stroke has passed and blood pressure and pulse have stabilized, it is important to begin appropriate rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible to minimize sequelae.
Stroke followingeffects vary from patient to patient depending on the damaged brain area and degree of damage, and typical symptoms include hemiplegia, sensory abnormalities, cognitive decline, and language impairment. Once brain nerve tissue is damaged due to a stroke, it is difficult to revive.

However, brain cells around damaged neural tissue avoid the damaged area and activate new neural circuits, which is called neural reorganization by brain plasticity. This brain plasticity is most active from 3 to 6 months from the time of stroke onset. During this period, rehabilitation treatment is essential to minimize stroke followingeffects.
In Oriental medicine, stroke is called a stroke, and depending on the constitution and symptoms, acupuncture, moxibustion, electroacupuncture, and herbal medicine treatments are performed. In particular, acupuncture treatment increases blood flow to the periphery of brain tissue damaged by brain disease and increases the plasticity of the brain, helping to recover from followingeffects. Manual therapy, moxibustion therapy, cupping therapy, and electroacupuncture therapy help treat joint deformation and muscle contracture. Helps restore function for back effects.
Lim Han-sol, director of Gimpo Seoul Daehyo Nursing Hospital, said, “If a person who has collapsed due to a stroke stays in a hospital bed without moving his or her body, his or her joints will contract and muscles will decrease, so if consistent treatment and rehabilitation are provided together, a quick return to home and society is possible. “He emphasized.
