The history of stroke dates back to ancient times, when there were records of people suddenly becoming paralyzed or having difficulty speaking. Throughout history, strokes were often viewed as mysterious events until a deeper understanding of their causes and mechanisms emerged in the 19th century. During this time, various medical advances were made that contributed to the identification of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The development of imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the 20th century enabled more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Stroke rehabilitation also evolved during this time to promote patient recovery. Today, strokes are well researched, and preventive measures and medical interventions play a crucial role in reducing stroke risks and improving the quality of life of those affected.
