How To Treat Moyamoya Syndrome

Therapy

Patients who suffer a Moyamoya-related stroke usually need rehabilitation to address the physical and psychological effects. A variety of symptoms can accompany a stroke in both children and adults, including paralysis or weakness on one side of the body or vision loss. A stroke can also cause cognitive decline, severe headaches, and seizures. Therapies for rehabilitation include occupational, physical, and speech therapy. These therapies can help patients recover lost functions so they can achieve the highest level of self-sufficiency. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be used to help patients suffering from emotional issues related to coping with Moyamoya disease, such as fears and uncertainties about the future.
