You need to understand the type of stroke are two. Either ischaemic or due to infract. In both this the basic cause is either high blood pressure or clotting in blood vessels supplying blood to brain tissues.
After stroke attack I always suggest to all my patient, to keep regular check on blood pressure. And if it is staying on higher side I suggest people to take medication or change medication to control it with guideline of your doctor. If you follow this then chances of recurrence is very less.
For treatment, as you have started after first attack again its all same. Once all his medical parameter are good he has to start with physio rehabilitation and should continue on medication as per neuro physician doctor suggestion.
Here recovery will depend again on amount on damage which has happen in brain.
Take care.
