Stroke

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide classified as ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke. Elevated blood pressure is the highest risk factor, and death and disability is high.

Improvements in prevention, acute treatment, and neurorehabilitation have led to a substantial decrease in the burden of stroke over the past 30 years. Traumatic brain injury is trauma to one or several parts of the Brain. Like any trauma it is primarily produced in four ways: by mechanical forces (gunshot, knife, explosion), radiation sources (excessive sunlight, ionizing radiation), temperature (freezing, heat) and chemical sources (toxins).

Preclinical research shows CB1 antagonists coupled with CB2 agonists reduced inflammation and increased blood flow during occlusion.
