These often lead to permanent health concerns and treatments throughout their lives. Little is known about the cause, treatment, and prevention of pediatric stroke, medical research is the only means by which the citizens of the United States can identify and develop effective treatment and prevention strategies for pediatric stroke
Early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric stroke greatly improves the chances that the affected child will recover and not experience a recurrence.
National Institutes of Health coordinates between government, researchers, families, and the public to improve treatments and prognoses for children who suffer strokes.
