“Can brain damage from a stroke be fixed?”

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. That depends on the type of stroke and the area of the brain affected. Typically patients will have some recovery with therapy, but I would have your friend and their family speak with their neurologist. Hope this helps! Be well, Aleka Scoco, MD

The damage caused by the stroke can be rehabilitated through time and focused treatments based on a stroke therapist.  Good luck to your friend
