Question

Is it suitable for a patient with severe cerebral edema who also has symptoms of cognitive decline, blindness, and paralysis to receive home massage?

Answer

For patients with severe cerebral edema accompanied by symptoms of cognitive decline, blindness, and paralysis, where the cerebral substance has significantly shrunk and the thickness of the cerebral cortex is less than 1 millimeter, surgical treatment is not recommended. Additionally, home massage cannot treat cerebral edema. It is suggested that patients or their family members provide a more detailed description of their condition so that a more accurate diagnosis and advice can be obtained.
