Filter by:ENCHANTED2 is an international, multicenter, prospective, randomised, open, blinded end-point assessed (PROBE) trial, to assess different approaches to manage blood pressure (BP) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who have undergone mechanical thrombectomy (MT). There are two nested substudies evaluating different approaches to secondary prevention in this high-risk stroke population.
Study objective is to determine whether Pioglitazone (PGZ) can improve clinical outcomes in hyperglycemic acute ischemic stroke (IS). The rationale for the proposed research is to develop an acute intervention that can improve neurological recovery and decrease mortality and morbidity in high-risk diabetic stroke patients.
This proposal is a prospective, single-center, dose-escalation safety, tolerability, feasibility and potential efficacy study of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in acute stroke patients with substantial salvageable penumbra due to a large vessel occlusion before and after endovascular therapy.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) evaluate the feasibility (e.g. recruitment and retention, administrative and participant burden) of a VR program to improve mood and sedentary behaviour in inpatient stroke survivors; and 2) develop an understanding of the effects of VR on mood and sedentary behaviours among inpatient stroke survivors.
This purpose study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the DAISe System used to remove clot in the brain during a stroke. This study will assess how well the device removes clot from the brain and how well patients recover from their stroke. This study plans to enroll 100 study patients at up to 10 hospitals in Europe. Study patients are followed for 3 months after the procedure.
Study objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acute permanent stenting of symptomatic intracranial stenosis following unsuccessful recanalization by thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion using the self-expandable Credo® stent together with the NeuroSpeed® PTA balloon catheter.
A prospective, open label single arm feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Magneto Wire in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and planned for thrombectomy procedure.
A registry study to collect data on the Tigertriever device at restoring blood flow by removing clots in M2 or distal vessels in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke, during commercial use.
Background: Alteplase is the only approved acute drug treatment in ischemic stroke and aims at dissolving arterial clots causing cerebral ischemia. The overall benefit of alteplase is substantial. However, there is considerable room for improvement as 2/3 of patients with large clots may not achieve reopening of the vessel and up to 40% of the patients remain severely disabled or die. Tenecteplase, a modified tissue plasminogen activator, has been shown to be a more efficient and safer thrombolytic drug than alteplase in pre-clinical studies. Tenecteplase has replaced alteplase as thrombolytic treatment in myocardial infarction and may also be the drug of choice in ischemic stroke. Tenecteplase and alteplase had a similar safety profile in the NOR-TEST trial and there were no differences in efficacy between the two treatment groups. However, a majority of patients had mild stroke which may be associated with a natural favorable prognosis. In spite of these neutral results, tenecteplase has the potential to replace alteplase as the drug of choice, based on a better pharmacological profile and a simpler practical administration. There is, however, need for a higher number of patients to prove the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase. Hypothesis: Tenecteplase 0.4 mg/kg is non-inferior compared with alteplase 0.9 mg/kg.
The study is designed to explore the efficacy and safety of head-down position in patients with acute ischemic stroke。
