Previous clinical studies have confirmed that revascularization or recanalization rate after intravenous thrombolysis is closely related to the formation of thrombus, which also results in poor neurological function after thrombolysis. Platelet activating factor (PAF) strong platelet aggregation may be involved in thrombosis. Formation process. The main components of Ginkgolide injection (Ginkgo) are ginkgolide, ginkgolides A, ginkgolides B and ginkgolides C. Ginkgo biloba lactone can antagonize PAF and has strong anti-platelet aggregation. . Therefore, it can be speculated that ginkgolides injection combined with alteplase intravenous thrombolysis may improve the recanalization rate after thrombolysis and reduce the reocclusion rate. In addition, clinical studies have also found that ginkgolide injection has a good auxiliary effect on hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, which can regulate inflammatory factors such as IL-6, TNF-α and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients. Recovery of neurological function in patients. It is well known that TNF-α, IL-β, IL-1, IL-6, IFN-γ, etc. are all inflammatory factors associated with reperfusion injury. Therefore, we speculate that ginkgolides injection may also regulate inflammatory factors associated with reperfusion injury, such as IL-6, TNF-α, thereby reducing reperfusion injury, thereby improving patient prognosis. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of ginkgolides injection combined with alteplase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and to improve the prognosis of patients with thrombolysis.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether the addition of an oral Factor XIa Inhibitor to Aspirin and Clopidogrel is more effective than standard therapy in secondary stroke prevention.
To study the feasibility and usefulness of multimodal MR compared to multimodal CT to select patients with acute ischemic stroke and favorable clinical outcome after mechanical thrombectomy. The specific objectives are to compare (1) the door-picture time and door-groin puncture time, (2) the rate of patients with acute stroke selected for endovascular treatment and (3) the safety and clinical response after thrombectomy between the two groups selected according to the imaging modality. Methodology: Single-center, randomized 1:1 and stratified by age and NIHSS study of consecutive patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke. Occlusion site, ischemic volume (core) and perfusion volume will be studied by an automated perfusion system (RAPID software) in both neuroimaging groups. Mechanical thrombectomy criteria will be basically based on the presence of a Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) and a volume of core lower than 70cc in the Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) or Diffusion Weighted Image (DWI) sequences. Modified Rankin scale at 90 days and the rate of intracranial hemorrhage and mortality will be considered as variables of response.
Currently, the guideline recommended re-perfusion such as intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy as the most effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. However, the two methods are restricted by a strict time window, which greatly limits the number of the patients receiving treatment. The abundant studies have suggested that good collateral circulation can provide compensatory blood supply to save the ischemic penumbra and reduces the infarct volume, which improves the prognosis. How to improve collateral circulation in an efficient and safe way is a clinical challenge. Our recent experiment results of the animal and preliminary clinical experiments show that head-down position may significantly increase cerebral perfusion and improve neurological function. Clinically, head-down position is simple and easy to operate, and theoretically may increases brain perfusion and improve collateral circulation. A pilot randomized clinical trial is designed to investigate the effect of head-down position combined with routine rehabilitation in patients with ischemic stroke.The study is designed to explore the efficacy and safety of head-down position in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the most common type of stroke, which has high rate of morbidity, mortality and disability. A large number of studies have confirmed that the thrombolytic therapy can effectively open blood vessels and improve the functional prognosis of acute ischemic stroke. Therefore, all guidelines recommend intravenous thrombolysis as the first treatment of ischemic stroke patients within 4.5 hours of onset. However, about 1/3 patients receiving thrombolysis will have good prognosis, while a large number of patients will still be disabled and even dead. How to improve the neurological prognosis of thrombolytic patients has been a hot topic in the world. Recent studies have found that the combined application of argatroban and rt-PA in the treatment of AIS might improve the clinical prognosis and not significantly increase bleeding. Some studies have reported that the combined application of argatroban and rt-PA could improve the blood vessel opening rate, and prevent re-occlusion after opening. Based on the discussion, the present study is designed to explore the efficacy and safety of argatroban plus rt-PA in the treatment of AIS.
The purpose of this study is to examine the hemodynamics of stroke patients with near-infrared spectroscopy before, during and after endovascular treatment and their relations to disabilities and mortality 3 months after treatment.
This study aims to determine safety and feasibility of non-invasive transcutaneous cervical Vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) when delivered promptly after clinical diagnosis of acute stroke. Vagus nerve stimulation will be performed via GammaCore® device. A total of 60 patients will be randomized to each of 3 different groups; 'standard dose' vagal stimulation, 'high dose' vagal stimulation, and 'sham stimulation' (1:1:1 ratio). Adverse device events, serious adverse device events, and feasibility of vagal nerve stimulation at the setting of acute stroke will be evaluated. The study will be performed in a multi-center fashion among stroke centers within TurkStrokeNet Network.
This is a phase II, randomized study of 120 adults age 18 or above who will prescribed 20mg daily Fluoxetine for 90 days following acute, ischemic stroke.
The purpose of the study will to test the hypothesis that combining early out-of-bed mobilization within 72 hours of stroke onset with treated by intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) or endovascular thrombectomy (ET) would result in a greater benefit than standard early rehabilitation within 72 hours of stroke onset with treated by IV-rtPA or ET.
