Response To Compression Stocking Study In The Lancet

Dr Peter Coleman, Deputy Director of Research at The Stroke Association said: "The Stroke Association welcomes this research. It is important that all treatments are carefully evaluated, and if studies show they are ineffective in stroke patients, we believe they should be discontinued. It is still vital, however, that patients are carefully monitored after their stroke to ensure there are no further complications, and to ensure they receive the best possible treatment."

Most strokes occur when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood to the brain. Some strokes are caused by bleeding in or around the brain from a burst blood vessel. When the blood supply is disrupted, parts of the brain become damaged or destroyed. Some strokes are fatal whist others can cause permanent or temporary disabilities such as paralysis to one side of the body and loss of the ability to speak, read or write. Recovery may be slow and can vary from person to person. Strokes can be prevented through lifestyle factors such as a healthy diet - particularly reducing salt intake, drinking alcohol in moderation, not smoking and taking regular exercise.
