NCT ID: NCT01942031 Completed - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

Improved Prevention of Stroke in Primary Care in Stockholm, Sweden (Förbättrad Prevention av Stroke)

Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stroke is a devastating disease. The acute mortality in Sweden is 20 % and 25 % of all patients relapse. Secondary prevention is proven efficient but observational studies have shown that a number of patients are lost to follow up and do not receive recommended prevention. The aim of the study is to 1) describe, by analyzing register data, the detection rate of patients with hospital diagnosis of stroke, TIA, and atrial fibrillation in the primary care center where they are listed. The analysis is done by sex, age, and socioeconomic status. Furthermore, rate of dispensed prescriptions of secondary preventive drugs are analysed for the identified population. 2) in a randomized controlled study evaluate if collegial feed back and targeted information of secondary prevention to the intervention group can improve the detection rate and the medication of the patients listed at the participating primary care centers.

NCT ID: NCT01845350 Completed - Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trials

Safety of Autologous M2 Macrophage in Treatment of Non-Acute Stroke Patients

Start date: October 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether M2 macrophages are safe and feasible in the treatment of non-acute stroke patients

NCT ID: NCT01774669 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Effectiveness Study on a Virtual Reality Based Training System for Stroke Patients

YouGrabber
Start date: January 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The patient study is a phase III trial designed as a single-blinded, randomised, controlled multi-centre trial with repeated measurement events (ME). Patients will be evaluated by a blinded assessor on five occasions: twice within two weeks at baseline before intervention start (BL, T0), once after eight treatment sessions (T1), once after the intervention (T2), and once after a two month follow-up period (FU). Figure 1 illustrates the study overview. The study focuses on the evaluation of the YouGrabber efficacy compared to conventional therapy in an outpatient setting. Research question: Do patients after stroke in the YouGrabber training group show higher postintervention performance in the Box and Block Test (BBT) compared to patients in the conventional therapy group? Hypothesis: H0: The investigators hypothesise that there will be no group differences after 16 training sessions or after the two month follow-up period. H1: The investigators hypothesise that there will be a group difference after the 16 training sessions and after the two month follow-up period. Aim: The aim of the project is to design and implement a single-blinded, randomised controlled multi-centre trial comparing YouGrabber training and conventional therapy in patients after stroke. Patients will be randomly allocated to either the experimental group (EG) or the control group (CG) after the second ME (T0). Group allocation will be based on a computer-generated randomisation list (one for each centre, (MATLAB, 2007b, Mathworks Inc., USA) created by a researcher not involved into the study. Randomisation lists and corresponding token will be stored in the clinics' pharmacy. Patients will draw a token before the first therapy session. The token will be marked and stored until study finalisation in the pharmacy. Group allocation will remain concealed for the independent assessor until study finalisation. Patients and treating therapists will be reminded not to talk about patient's group allocation with other therapists or participants. Patients in both study groups (EG, CG) will receive the same amount of 16 sessions lasting for 45 minutes each. During each therapy appointment patients can decide to stop the training at any time. Patients allocated to EG will have the opportunity to participate in two semi-structured interviews to evaluate their expectations and experiences with the virtual reality therapy with YouGrabber. Treating therapists will have the opportunity to participate in one focus group meeting to evaluate their experiences with the virtual reality training, its advantages and disadvantages. Interview and focus group participation will be voluntary.

NCT ID: NCT01637129 Completed - Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trials

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Children With Stroke

TMSCS
Start date: May 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This is a pilot study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to test tolerance and efficacy in children who have hemiparesis from acquired or presumed perinatal stroke.

NCT ID: NCT01584180 Completed - Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trials

A Randomized Trial Comparing 2 Methods for Rapid Induction of Cooling in Stroke Patients, Cold Infusions vs. EMCOOLS Brain.Pad (iCOOL 3)

iCOOL 3
Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Mild hypothermia improves outcome in patients with global cerebral ischemia after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia seems promising also in other acute hypoxic-ischemic or in brain swelling associated cerebrovascular disease. The narrow-time-frame is a major issue ("time is brain"). To provide immediate cooling without delay, easy to use, mobile and effective methods are needed. Cold infusions (4 °C) are an accepted standard worldwide. EMCOOLS Brain.Pad (Emergency Medical Cooling Systems AG, Wien, Austria) is a new non-invasive surface cooling system. A comparison of these two induction methods has never been done before. Neither was the effect of the EMCOOLS Brain.Pad on brain-temperature measured. For the first time iCOOL 3 compares feasibility, safety and efficacy of the two methods.

NCT ID: NCT01573117 Completed - Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trials

A Randomized Trial Comparing 2 Methods for Rapid Induction of Cooling in Stroke Patients, Cold Infusions vs. RhinoChill (iCOOL 1)

iCOOL 1
Start date: September 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Mild hypothermia improves outcome in patients with global cerebral ischemia after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia seems promising also in other acute hypoxic-ischemic or in brain swelling associated cerebrovascular disease. The narrow-time-frame is a major issue ("time is brain"). To provide immediate cooling without delay, easy to use, mobile and effective methods are needed. Cold infusions (4 °C) are an accepted standard worldwide. The RhinoChill (BeneChill, USA) is a new device. A comparison of these two induction methods has never been done before. Neither was the effect of cold infusions on brain-temperature measured. For the first time iCOOL 1 compares feasibility, safety and efficacy of the two methods.

NCT ID: NCT01325233 Completed - Hemorrhagic Stroke Clinical Trials

The Pilot Clinical Study of PG2 Injection on Hemorrhagic Stroke

Start date: March 2011
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Astragalus membranaceus (AM) is used to treat stroke for a long time, and a number of studies have shown that AM can reduce cerebral infarction area and has anti-oxidation activity. PG2, a sterile powder of polysaccharides isolated from the root of astragulus (Huang-Chi) for intravenous injection, has been approved as a botanical drug by TFDA. Hemorrhagic stroke will induce secondary peri-blood clot edema and that may increase intracranial pressure to exacerbate clinical symptom. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of PG2 on hemorrhagic stroke.

NCT ID: NCT00571441 Completed - Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trials

Estimating Volume Using LiDCO

EVOLVE
Start date: December 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

We hypothesize that the stroke volume variation measured using the commercially available LiDCO monitor provides a reasonable estimate of volume when compared to standard measures. This study will collate data that is already being collected by the bedside nurses.
