Encephalopathy Fact #10: Treatment
The brain is incredibly complex and we have only just scratched the surface in regard to our understanding of it. This makes treatment for brain conditions extremely difficult, but we are making some progress. If the underlying cause can be identified then we can set about treating that cause the best we can.
In some cases, treating the cause can stop symptoms completely. Medications are often used, although surgery is also necessary in some instances. It is possible to make a complete recovery from encephalopathy depending on what is causing it. In many cases, though, the damage is permanent and cannot be treated.
