The answer to this question depends on the severity and complexity of the hemiplegia, as well as how much time has passed since onset. Generally speaking, it is possible to treat hemiplegia in many cases. However, it is also important to recognize that complete cure may not always be possible.

Hemiplegia is caused by damage or lesions in either the motor cortex of one hemisphere of the brain or damage at a lower level along the corticospinal tract (an area responsible for controlling movement). Depending on which side is affected, paralysis can occur across one entire side of a person's body or just parts of it (such as an arm).

In milder cases where only partial paralysis has resulted from an acute injury (such as stroke), treatment with physical and occupational therapy often leads to significant improvements including increased strength and mobility. This form of therapy helps strengthen muscles and relearn lost movements through repetition, practice, and functional activities like everyday tasks such as showering or brushing teeth. In addition to physiotherapy intervention, noninvasive electrical stimulation such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used effectively in some clinical studies to improve motor control after nervous system injuries like cerebral palsy resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury.

In more serious cases where total paralysis may have developed due to chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis, advanced surgical techniques have seen some success stories. One example includes procedures involving deep brain stimulation—which involve placing electrodes into deep parts of the patient’s brain that are then connected with a device outside their head—has shown promise in helping people regain control over paralyzed limbs by performing precise electrical signals designed by neuroscientists specifically for this type of treatment applied directly onto certain areas inside their brains that specialize controlling movement functions/patterns . Other recently developed treatments involve harvesting healthy nerve cells from muscle tissue taken from unaffected regions elsewhere around body and transplanting them into part(s) affected by diagnose condition; however its effectiveness still remain largely uncertain due recent lack research evidence carried out about topic hitherto so far thus speak generally wise exercise caution respect any conclusions made explicitly citing procedure carry good prognosis given current state medical literature pertaining subject matter .

Overall, there are many forms treatment available depending on specific case individual afflicted Hemiplegia there exists hope full recovery within possibility hence consultation qualified medical professional appropriate route whenever considering course action undergo order maximize best chances successful outcome eventually should kept mind constantly throughout journey ahead too!
