Filter by:This research study is to find out if brain stimulation at different dosage level combined with an efficacy-proven rehabilitation therapy can improve arm function. The stimulation technique is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The treatment uses direct currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain affected by stroke. The adjunctive rehabilitation therapy is called "modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy" (mCIMT). During this therapy the subject will wear a mitt on the hand of the arm that was not affected by a stroke and force to use the weak arm. The study will test 3 different doses of brain stimulation in combination with mCIMT to find out the most promising one.
The degree of muscle loss over the course of inpatient stay will be evaluated in patients with a diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke admitted to Neurocritical Care Units and necessitating enteral nutrition.
Accurate diagnosis of stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is an essential step in providing acute stroke care to a community. The gold-standard for diagnosis LVO is brain imaging, which is impractical in the pre-hospital setting. A non-invasive method to detect LVO is needed. Using highly sensitive accelerometers, one can measure the "HeadPulse"- tiny forces exerted on the skull from the cardiac contraction. This study tests the hypothesis that LVO alters the HeadPulse characteristically. Analysis of these data along with the subjects vascular status (LVO vs. non-LVO as measured by CT angiography) will be used to create a model that can predict LVO status in suspect stroke subjects.
This cohort study will evaluate the relatiobship of stroke recurrence and anti-platelet resistance in ischemic stroke patients
The study is a randomized, prospective, parallel-group, multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority trial. Patients are randomized 1 : 1 to either stent retriever(Catfish) or Solitaire for endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke. The study aims to evaluate the benefit and safety of stent retriever(Catfish) for acute ischemic stroke therapy, as compared to Solitaire FR.
This is a registry for all patients admitted to hospital settings with Ischemic stroke in Mansoura University Hospital. The registry will capture patients' data, investigations and vitamin D level on admission. Follow-up is taking place using MODIFIED RANKIN SCALE
The purpose of this study is: - to evaluate efficacy of MMH-MAP in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment in subjects in early rehabilitation period of ischemic stroke - to evaluate safety of MMH-MAP in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment in subjects in early rehabilitation period of ischemic stroke
The XIENCE 28 USA Study is prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to evaluate safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS and XIENCE Sierra EECSS) of coronary drug-eluting stents.
Stroke can lead to weakness and spasticity in the arm or hand. The purpose of this study is to optimize the design of gentle vibratory stimulation delivered to the hands of individuals with chronic stroke, and explore the effect on range of movement and spasticity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.
