I'm not sure "curable" is the right word. While we can try hard to prevent future strokes, there isn't a lot one can do medically to "fix it", although palliative care can go a long way. That isn't to say you're without hope. A surprising number of strokes reduce and some even go asymptomatic. Remember that saying, "You only use 10% of your brain!"? Well -- it's not true. The supposed "un-used" parts are actually holding redundant information. That way, if a portion of the brain is damaged, the fix is now no longer trying to re-learn the process. Instead, it's simply waiting for the brain to "reroute" nerves to the area that, while dormant, still retains that learning. Please understand this is a pretty gross simplification, but for all that, accurate. We don't understand what starts this rerouting, nor do we know how it progresses, or why is sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Without knowing the extent of location of the stroke, I can't say much more, and surely your doctors will know more -- and ask them Everything you can think of! But, based on this little bit, I think you should know the situation is serious, but spontaneous remission is not unheard of. Let's hope for the best?

besides basic pharma grade meds that the patient will be on most likely for the rest of their life, healthy diet and excercise. If it is a stroke induced by a thrombus (athrosclorotic clot releaesd from a stationary position in the body and spreading to narrower blood passages) then anticoagulants and blood thinners will be necessary.
