Cerebral Atrophy treatment in Ayurveda According to Ayurveda, cerebral atrophy is caused due to disruption in the vata dosha, which controls the motor and sensory activities in the body. [nirogam.com]

People should also stay active mentally and socially. × Treatment There is no specific treatment or cure for cerebral atrophy. Some symptoms of underlying causes can be managed and treated. [ninds.nih.gov]

It is now clear that the risk-benefit ratio of aggressive treatment versus moderate treatment—which leaves the patient with some degree of constant pain—needs to be reevaluated. [practicalpainmanagement.com]

Although high doses of steroids may have been responsible for some of the lesions, alternate etiologies are required to explain the abnormality in others cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Etiology of MSA is unknown but presence of cytoplasmic aggregates of α-synuclein, primarily in oligodendroglia, in combination with neurodegeneration in striatonigral and olivopontocerebellar structures are the pathological hallmark features. [orpha.net]

The ischemic stroke subtypes were classified into 5 core etiologic groupings: large vessel atherosclerosis; small vessel (lacunar); cardioembolic infarction; stroke of other etiology; and stroke of undetermined etiology or competing causes determined [stroke.ahajournals.org]
