Over 700,000 Americans annually face some kind of stroke or the other. Over 85% of such incidents are ischemic strokes affecting adults aged 60 and above. It is only pertinent to say that the chance of having a stroke rises significantly with age. According to the CDC, every 40 seconds, an American gets a stroke, out of which only 5% are known to recover fully. Most continue to suffer from long-term effects of stroke, including persistent weakness, chronic pain, and even epilepsy. While there have been a number of ongoing research studies to better the condition of stroke survivors, medicos continue to rely on symptomatic treatment.
