Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of Viz LVO in hospital systems with non-interventional and interventional (spoke and hub) stroke centers on the timing and outcomes of patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke indicated for mechanical thrombectomy.
This study is aimed to depict the epidemiological trend, aetiologies, clinical characteristics, treatment options of IS-NOAC in face of the rapidly increasing NOAC usage. Knowledge on this ischaemic stroke entity will define clinical characteristics, identify preventable causes and inform resource allocation on the evaluation modalities, reperfusion strategies and forecast future burden of IS-NOAC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of single injection of it-hMSC in patients with ischemic stroke in a multicenter, blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and one of the main contributors to disability. Patients who survive the acute phase of ischemic stroke and those with transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at high risk of subsequent vascular events. Importantly, recurrent strokes are associated with a higher social and economic impact, higher case fatality, and worse clinical outcome than first-ever strokes. The burden of post-stroke complications, residual deficits, and inadequate medical and psychosocial care all contribute to long-term disability and reduced quality of life in these patients. The Department of Neurology of the Medical University Innsbruck undertook the STROKE-CARD trial (NCT02156778) between 2014 and 2018 with follow-up until 2019 to evaluate the efficacy of the Post-Stroke disease-management program STROKE-CARD care. After implementation of STROKE-CARD care, the investigators aim to document the quality of post-stroke care and compare outcome parameters to historical cohorts and the change over time. Furthermore the investigators aim to gain a large data-resource for future research of biomarkers, disease mechanisms, prognosis and imaging mechanisms for R&D.
Endovascular treatment（ET）is an effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke(AIS) with great vessel obstruction. However, acute complications such as high postoperative perfusion injury, hemorrhagic transformation and restenosis resulted in functional independence in only about 50% of patients 90 days after interventional surgery. Therefore, it is very important to protect the neurologic function after emergency endovascular treatment. The investigators' previous studies have shown that combined with intravenous thrombolytic therapy and remote postconditioning（RIPC）can significantly improve the neurological impairment and short-term and long-term prognosis in patients with acute stroke. In this multicenter, randomized controlled trial, the investigators assumed patients with acute ischemic stroke who had successfully revascularization after ET might benefit from RIPC as well. Patients in the RIPC group had five cycles of 5-min cuff inflation followed by 3-min deflation to the bilateral upper arm after ET. The primary endpoint measure was the proportion of patients with a favorable recovery of nerve function deficient assessed by Modified Rankin Scale （mRS≤2） 90 days after surgery. Secondary endpoints included the following: (1) Symptom endpoints: Neurological intelligence and function scores, postoperative hemorrhagic transformation rate, etc. (2) Blood index test: postoperative inflammatory factors, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and other indicators. (3) Imaging endpoints: MRI-FLAIR , TCD, etc.
A prospective, open label study designed to assess the safety, performance and efficacy of thrombus removal in subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke with the NeVa stent retrievers.
This is an observational study in neurocritical care units at University of California San Francisco Medical Center (UCSFMC), Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFGH), and Duke University Medical Center. In this study, the investigators will primarily use the monitor mode of the Transcranial Doppler (TCD, non-invasive FDA approved device) to record cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) signals from the Middle Cerebral Artery and Internal Carotid Artery. TCD data and intracranial pressure (ICP) data will be collected in the following four scenarios. Each recording is up to 60 minutes in length. Multimodality high-resolution physiological signals will be collected from brain injured patients: traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage, liver failure, and ischemic stroke. This is not a hypothesis-driven study but rather a signal database development project with a goal to collect multimodality brain monitoring data to support development and validation of algorithms that will be useful for future brain monitoring devices. In particular, the collected data will be used to support: Development and validation of noninvasive intracranial pressure (nICP) algorithms. Development and validation of continuous monitoring of neurovascular coupling state for brain injury patients Development and validation of noninvasive approaches of detecting elevated ICP state. Development and validation of approaches to determine most likely causes of ICP elevation. Development and validation of approaches to detect acute cerebral hemodynamic response to various neurovascular procedures.
Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) has developed an innovative strategy to enhance recovery of motor and sensory function after neurological injury termed targeted plasticity therapy (TPT). This technique uses brief pulses of vagus nerve stimulation to engage pro-plasticity neuromodulatory circuits during rehabilitation exercises. Preclinical findings demonstrate that VNS paired with rehabilitative training enhances recovery in multiple models of neurological injury, including stroke, spinal cord injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. Recovery is associated with neural plasticity in spared motor networks in the brain and spinal cord. Moreover, two initial studies and a recently completed Phase 3 clinical trial using a commercially available device demonstrates that paired VNS with rehabilitation is safe and improves motor recovery after stroke. The purpose of this study is to extend these findings and evaluate whether VNS delivered with the new device paired with rehabilitation represents a safe and feasible strategy to improve recovery of motor and sensory function in participants with stroke.
Studies from our lab indicated that long-term sedation is protective in mice with midbrain infarct. To assess whether post-operative sedation has protective effects on clinical outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (ET), a multi-center, randomized clinical trial will be carried out (POSET study). In POSET study, patients receiving ET for acute ischemic stroke under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to the control group (Con group) and the post-operative sedation group (POS group). Patients in the Con group will be recovered and extubated immediately after the surgery, whereas those in the POS group will be sedated with propofol and dexmedetomidine for another 6hrs before extubation. The primary endpoint is the score on the modified Rankin Scale assessed at 90±7 days after randomization. The hypothesis is that patients in the POS group will have improved clinical outcome in 3 months after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of low-dose (50mg) aspirin as a secondary prevention drug in patients with Non-Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke accompanied by cerebral microbleeds.
