NCT ID: NCT04937335 Completed - Craniopharyngioma Clinical Trials

Craniopharyngioma With Tumoral Hemorrhage

Start date: January 1, 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Clinical data of 185 consecutive patients receiving resective operation with a pathological diagnosis of craniopharyngioma in our hospital between January 2013 and February 2021 were collected. Among these patients, 18 of them were recognized as craniopharyngioma with tumoral hemorrhage during the operation.

NCT ID: NCT02207023 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Healthy Lifestyles After Stroke - Stroke Coach

StrokeCoach
Start date: October 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a lifestyle modification telehealth program on health-related behaviours in community-dwelling individuals living with stroke.

NCT ID: NCT02141932 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Pocket-size Cardiovascular Ultrasound in Stroke

Start date: September 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Among patients admitted with cerebral ischemia (stroke and transitory ischemic attack (TIA)) it is important to reveal the underlying cause of the disease. In special it is important to reveal if carotid artery stenosis is present as such a finding will directly influence on treatment and follow-up. For the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis due to atherosclerosis ultrasound examinations is the cornerstone, but computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging may be better in some cases. Development of high quality pocket-sized ultrasound scanners has allowed for semi quantitatively bed-side assessment of the carotid arteries and the heart. The investigators aim to study the feasibility and reliability of bed-side assessment of the carotid arteries and the heart by pocket-sized ultrasound scanners and the clinical influence of this examination when performed by experienced users. The investigators hypothesize that a significant proportion of this patient population can be clarified bed-side with no need of further imaging procedures for the assessment of the carotid arteries and the heart.

NCT ID: NCT01986452 Completed - OSA Clinical Trials

Telemonitoring of CPAP Therapy in Apoplexy Patients With OSA

Start date: February 13, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Apoplexy patients with OSA are often not receiving a CPAP therapy due to generally poor acceptance and adherence. There is a great potential to significantly improve the treatment and care of these patients in a time economic way by telemonitoring the therapy in home environment. This study is planned to prove that telephone consultancy and motivation in times of recorded decreasing CPAP therapy usage can improve adherence, neurological function and quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT01071382 Completed - Clinical trials for Myocardial Infarction

Epidemiology of Aeromedical Evacuation

Start date: February 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Increasing air travel has resulted in a significant increase in aeromedical evacuation over the past decade. However there is only a small amount of epidemiological data available on the diagnosis, costs and transport characteristics of aeromedical evacuation cases. In the present study Cases of aeromedical evacuation by a relief organization (Workers' Samaritan Federation Germany) were analyzed based on the following criteria: age, sex and diagnosis of the patient, ventilation mode, days of illness before transport, type of transport, flight routes, flying time, flight distance, type of aircraft, type and distance of connecting transport from the destination airport to the final hospital, total cost per repatriation, and costs per flight-minute of each transport type.

NCT ID: NCT00903266 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Melodic-Intonation-Therapy and Speech-Repetition-Therapy for Patients With Non-fluent Aphasia

Start date: February 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

We are doing this clinical trial in order to evaluate two different treatments for non-fluent aphasia: Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) and Speech Repetition Therapy (SRT). MIT uses a simple form of singing, while SRT uses intensive repetition of a set of words and phrases. We want to see which intensive form of treatment is more effective in leading to an improvement in speech output compared to a no-therapy control period, and whether either treatment can cause changes in brain activity during speaking and changes in brain structure. We will use a technique known as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to measure blood flow changes in the brain and structural MRI that assess brain anatomy and connections between brain regions. We will use fMRI to assess brain activity while a patient speaks, sings, and hums. We will assess changes in brain activity and in brain structure by comparing scans done prior to treatment to scans obtained after treatment and we will also examine changes between treatment groups. We will correlate changes in brain activity and brain structure with changes in language test scores.

NCT ID: NCT00792428 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Occupational Therapy To Enhance Stroke Recovery

TDCS+OT
Start date: June 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a non-painful, non-invasive, brain-stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with traditional physical-occupational therapy (OT) will improve motor function in patients with chronic stroke. The aim is to determine the effect of applying real (anodal and/or cathodal) - in a dual configuration - vs sham (pretend) tDCS to the motor brain regions on both hemispheres - in a dual configuration - to improve motor function in chronic stroke patients. Our research in normal subjects has shown that motor skills can be enhanced if tDCS is applied to the brain's motor region during motor learning. The effects after a single session of tDCS can last for up to 30 minutes, effects of multiple sessions (one session per day) can last for weeks. Furthermore, single sessions of tDCS applied to the motor regions in stroke patients have shown that improvements in motor functions can be seen and that effects may last for at least 30 minutes. Patients enrolled in this trial will be randomized to receive either real tDCS or sham tDCS in combination with PT-OT once a day for 5 days. Assessments will be done about 3 days and 7 days after the end of the experimental treatment by investigators who are blinded to the intervention. Patients are also blinded as to whether they are receiving real or sham tDCS. We hypothesize that real tDCS applied to the motor regions in combination with PT-OT results in a subsequent improvement in motor function of the recovering hand over sham tDCS in combination with PT-OT.
