when can i wake up from a stroke coma?

when can i wake up from a stroke coma? we must first know how long it takes to wake up from a stroke coma is related to the development of the disease.

if the disease develops early and there is ischemia and edema in the brain, the damage is not permanent. as the disease and brain cell function repair, the patient gradually wakes up.

this kind of coma generally has two situations. the patient is unable to feel external stimulation and receive verbal information, and appears completely unresponsive. this situation may last for a long time. some patients will accept information and even open their eyes voluntarily, but have no conscious content. at this time, it may take a long time to repair.

if the injury is not permanent, the patient will wake up approximately half a month to a month after the onset of the disease, and the prognosis is relatively good.

however, some people's damage is caused by severe ischemia after stroke, and the location is relatively critical, such as the brainstem and thalamus, which may lead to long-term coma and difficulty in waking up.

if a patient is comatose after a stroke and wants to know when he will wake up, we can also do a coma-awakening assessment to learn more.
