Treatment for a stroke depends on its type: ischemic or hemorrhagic. For ischemic strokes, which are caused by blood clots, the primary treatment is the administration of clot-busting medications like tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) within a few hours of symptom onset. Hemorrhagic strokes, caused by bleeding in the brain, may require surgical intervention to repair the blood vessel or relieve pressure. Immediate medical attention is crucial for both types to improve outcomes and minimize long-term damage.
