Dear NeuroTalkers,

I'm new to your community, and for unfortunate reasons - I had a minor CVA in my right hemisphere a week ago, diagnosed by MRI. I have residual minor numbness all along my left side, particularly in my left hand, but no motor limitation. I as wondering if any of you are aware of effective therapy approaches to hastening the return of normal sensory status in such a case.

I have read some interesting articles about thermal stimulation (alternating application or non-application of a hot pad for up to 15 seconds, then doing the same with cold).

Anyone tried this or know about it?
What about electrical or other stimulatory approach?

Many thanks and good health!
