What Are the Treatments for Mini Strokes in Brain?
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) states that a mini stroke, also called a transient ischemic attack (TIA), is considered a warning sign for a stroke. The person has stroke-like symptoms that last less than 24 hours. Arthur Schoenstadt, M.D., author of the eMedTV article “Mini-Stroke Treatment,” states that “of the approximately 50,000 Americans who have a mini stroke each year, about one-third will have an acute stroke sometime in the future.” Treatment for a mini stroke involves medication, lifestyle changes and surgery.
