Filter by:The relationship between the intestinal microecology and stroke has become a research hotspot in neurology field today. Maintaining the balance of the intestinal microbiota are expected to bring new breakthroughs for prevention and treatment of stroke. In recent years, stroke in young adults has an increasing incidence and a considerable socioeconomic impact because of high disability rate and health-care costs. So there is an urgent need to explore the role and mechanism of intestinal microecology imbalance in stroke, especially in the development and prognosis of stroke in young people. This study aims to use multi-omics technologies, including microbial diversity, metagenomics and metabonomics, to reveal the characteristics of intestinal flora in young stroke patients, identify biomarkers for predicting outcome after stroke and early detection of young people at high risk of stroke, and to further explore the role of gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of stroke.
The study objective is to examine and compare clinical outcomes, as measured by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days (± 15 days) post treatment, and related performance characteristics of the Envi™-SR and concurrent parallel Control Devices currently cleared by the U.S. FDA for treatment of stroke.
CRAST is to analyze the expression pattern of circular RNA (circRNA) by bioinformatics analysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy control. The candidate circRNA will be verified as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.
This is a prospective real world registry study, aiming to explore the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke in a Chinese population.
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels (which encompass all atherogenic lipoproteins, including LDL), Lp(a) levels, and carotid IPH are associated with both first-ever and recurrent ischemic stroke. This cohort research project is to analyze: 1. Among patients with carotid artery atherosclerosis (stenosis 30-99%), to compare patients with and without IPH, as assessed by magnetic resonance (MR)-Plaque Imaging, in terms of apoB, Lp(a) levels and other cardiovascular risk factors. (IPH is a strong morphological sign of plaque vulnerability / instability and a strong marker of consecutive atheroembolic events). 2. Among patients with carotid artery atherosclerosis (stenosis 30-99%), to assess the risk of first-ever ischemic stroke in relation to apoB, Lp(a) levels, and presence of IPH, after adjusting for the cardiovascular factors (understanding this association can inform primary prevention). 3. Among patients with carotid artery atherosclerosis (stenosis 30-99%) with an ipsilateral ischemic stroke at baseline, to assess the risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic stroke in relation to apoB, Lp(a) levels, and presence of IPH, after adjusting for the cardiovascular factors. There will be a sensitivity analysis to assess if the association between Lp(a) and recurrent stroke is stronger in patients <60 years of age. (understanding this association can inform secondary prevention). For the first and second aim, there will be a cross-sectional, case-control analysis. For the third aim, i.e. assessing recurrent ischemic stroke, there is prospective follow-up of at least 3 months up to 45 months.
The Jacobs Institute is participating in a Sponsor Investigator study designed to collect prospective clinical evidence to evaluate the use of a neurological thrombectomy device for clot retrieval in acute ischemic patients
Positioning of the patient with hyperacute large artery ischemic stroke (IS) is an important, yet understudied aspect of care that could impact the course of treatment and ultimately clinical outcome. Positioning with the head of bed (HOB) at 0-degree has been shown in small studies to increase cerebral blood flow across arterial occlusion in hyperacute large artery IS, leading to clinical improvement in stroke symptoms. However, this position is believed to increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia. In this randomised clinical trial, the investigators aim to evaluate whether use of 0-degree HOB positioning is associated with clinical stability in hyperacute IS. Investigators hypothesise that patients with large artery occlusions placed in a 0-degree HOB position will experience less early neurologic deterioration within the first 24 hours, than those in the 30-degree or more HOB elevation group. The study aims to confirm the safety of 0-degree-HOB positioning in a large, generalizable sample of hyperacute large artery IS patients. In this randomised trial, patients presenting to the study centers and eligible for intravenous thrombolysis, with (if presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom-onset) or without (presenting between 4.5 to 16 hours of symptom-onset) mechanical thrombectomy. Eligible patients would be randomised to either a zero-degree HOB or an HOB of 30-degree or more. Impact of HOB position on neurological status would be evaluated with serial NIHSS scores. Cerebral hemodynamics would be monitored by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. Validated criteria would be used to diagnose pneumonia. Functional outcome would be measured by modified Rankin scale (mRS) where the score of 0-2 describe good functional recovery. SPSS version 20 would be used to analyse the data. The trial would provide clinical and hemodynamic data to determine the optimal HOB position in patients with large artery acute ischemic stroke.
This is a prospective, open, single-arm, the real world of clinical trials. The researchers plan to recruit 300 eligible patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide in the treatment of ischemic stroke, and to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of butylphthalide in elderly patients to explore its blood drug concentration. Correlation with its efficacy and adverse reactions.
This is a Phase 2/3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of DM199 in treating participants presenting within 24 hours of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) onset for whom fibrinolytics and/or a catheter-based procedure, mechanical thrombectomy (MT), are not medically appropriate or available due to constraints of clot location, comorbidity risks, and/or time from estimated onset of stroke. The double-blinded study will be randomized, placebo controlled at up to approximately 100 sites.
In non-acute symptomatic ischemic stroke, the decision-making of medical treatment plus intracranial stenting has been more and more popular, especially in patients with intracranial large severe stenosis or occlusive artery. Nonetheless, there is no evidence from randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of this treatment after the Wingspan Stent System Post Market Surveillance (WEAVE) and Wingspan One Year Vascular Imaging Events and Neurologic Outcomes (WOVEN) trial compared with medical treatment alone. This trial was to investigate whether medical treatment plus intracranial stenting would prevent the recurrent ischemic stroke in the territory of the symptomatic intracranial artery during 1-year follow-up.
