Filter by:A multicentre, randomized, two parallel group study comparing virtual reality using Wii gaming technology versus Recreational activities in patients receiving conventional rehabilitation after an ischemic stroke. Primary Hypothesis: Virtual reality using the Wii gaming system is more efficacious in improving motor function than recreational therapy among patients receiving conventional rehabilitation following a recent ischemic stroke.
This is a randomized double blind 2x2 factorial controlled trial to evaluate efficacy tolerability of low strength Polycap versus two doses of low strength Polycap in patients with stable cardiovascular disease in reducing blood pressure and LDL. To evaluate the tolerability and safety of low dose potassium supplementation compared to placebo in patients with stable cardiovascular disease. Approximately 500 patients are planned to be randomized.
This is an open label single center phase II trial, evaluating the utility of 64 slice CT perfusion (CTP) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The main aim is to determine which aspects of CTP imaging can aid in expanding the time window for thrombolysis with IV (rt-PA) in AIS patients up to 6 hours after symptom onset.
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and feasibility of mobilization of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with IV-tPA between 12-24 hours of treatment.
This pilot sham-controlled study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation given as a facilitatory intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS1200, 1200 stimuli/session) paradigm to enhance motor recovery in subacute stroke patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of allogeneic adult mesenchymal bone marrow cells administered intravenously to patients with ischemic stroke.
The primary purpose of the clinical study is to determine the safety of a modified stem cell SB623 when administered to chronic, stable ischemic stroke patients. A second purpose is to determine whether SB623 might improve stroke symptoms. Chronic, stable ischemic stroke patients must be between 6 and 60 months after their stroke, and with only this one prior stroke, and with no further improvement from physical therapy.
To determine if the Trevo Retriever is as good or better than the Merci Retriever in restoring blood flow to the brain of a patient experiencing an acute ischemic stroke in a large vessel.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of enrolling, evaluating, and treating with glyburide for injection severe anterior circulation ischemic stroke participants, whether or not treated with standard of care intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). Participants must be between 18-80 years of age, must have a baseline diffusion weighted image (DWI) lesion volume 82 -210 centimeters cubed (cm3), and time from symptom onset to start of study infusion must be ≤10 hour(hr). The secondary objectives are to assess the initial safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) /pharmacodynamics (PD) of glyburide in severe stroke participants, as well as to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcome data to benchmark data derived from published literature.
Development of stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) has a detrimental effect on stroke outcome. Biomarker-guided antibiotic treatment of patients at high risk for pneumonia may help to improve stroke outcome. Therefore, the investigators will evaluate whether intensified infection monitoring via Procalcitonin guiding an early standardized antibiotic treatment improves functional outcome after stroke compared with standard therapy based on current guidelines.
