It further explores existing evidence and potential future research directions for MI in postoperative rehabilitation and chronic disease management. MI aims to facilitate behavioral change and promote healthier lifestyles by fostering a trusting relationship with patients and enhancing intrinsic motivation. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in postoperative recovery for oncological surgery, stroke, organ transplants, and gastrointestinal procedures, as well as in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and periodontal disease. The approach is patient-centered, adaptable, cost-effective, and easily replicable, though its limitations include reliance on the therapist's expertise, variability in individual responses, and insufficient long-term follow-up studies.

Stent thrombectomy is a recently established technique for treating AIS.
