Filter by:TELEstroke to CAre for STroke Patients at a Comprehensive Stroke Center (TELECAST-CSC) during the COVID-19 pandemic is a pre-post study evaluating guideline-based acute ischemic stroke care following the implementation of inpatient telestroke at a comprehensive stroke center during the COVID-19 global pandemic. TELECAST-CSC compares two cohorts: the "in-person phase" (December 1, 2019-March 15, 2020), when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered conventionally in-person and the "telestroke phase" (March 16, 2020-June 29, 2020) when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered exclusively via telestroke as part of our healthcare system's pandemic response. We studied the following primarily clinical endpoints: diagnostic stroke evaluation, secondary stroke prevention, health screening and evaluation, stroke education, mortality, and stroke recurrence and readmission rates.
The INSPIRE study is interventional, European, prospective, open, multicentric, each patient being his/her own control. It is conducted to assess the safety and performance of the Atalante exoskeleton system in patients presenting an hemiplegia due to cerebrovascular accident. The primary endpoint is defined by the reported adverse events. The study will include 40 patients and takes place in six rehabilitation centers (4 in France, 1 in Luxembourg, 1 in Belgium).
The current endovascular treatment has increased the recanalization rate to more than 90%. Even so, the prognosis rate of stroke is still less than 50%. Our previous research confirmed that the neuroprotective effect of Normobaric Hyperoxia (NBO) from multiple perspectives. However, the clinical study on NBO was not satisfactory, which might be due to the absence of vascular recanalization therapy. Therefore, The investigators conducted this RCT study to further explore the Efficacy and safety of NBO combined with endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Cognitive disorders are common early after stroke but can be overseen in patients with mild stroke who seem to be functionally recovered but are at risk to experience difficulties in advanced daily activities affecting social, vocational and family responsibilities. Acute stroke units admit a large number of patients and adequate referral to rehabilitation services is essential in terms of quality of care. A self-evaluation tool to evaluate cognitive function was developed by the occupational therapy department. Patients with mild strokes and pre-stroke independent for instrumental daily activities fill out this self-evaluation tool, which is a paperwork task. Semi-structured interpretation is performed by physician and may result in referral to the occupational therapist for comprehensive evaluation. In this study the validity and reliability of the self-evaluation tool will be examined.
This study aims to investigate the effects of anodal tDCS combined with conventional physical therapy for 5 consecutive sessions on motor functions and brain activity in acute stroke patients at immediate and 1-month follow-up.
The objective of the study is thus to compare the effects 5 consecutive sessions of anodal and cathodal tDCS combined with conventional physical therapy on upper and lower limb motor performance in acute stroke at immediate, and 1-month followup.
Philips Healthcare has developed a next generation Allura investigational device. The intended purpose of the investigational device is to perform neurovascular imaging applications, including diagnostic, interventional and minimally invasive procedures on human patients. The goal of this study is to investigate the accuracy of the next generation Allura investigational device to determine the extent and localization of ischemic stroke changes in brain tissue.
The main objective of this single arm study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the AXS Infinity LS (Stryker, Freemont, CA, USA) and AXS Infinity LS Plus (Stryker, Freemont, CA, USA) catheters during the transradial approach through a secondary use of the data collected during neurointerventional procedures. This includes evaluating the conversion rates to a transfemoral approach. A secondary aim of the study is to assess the radial artery occlusion rates post procedure.
The study was designed as a multicenter multiracial prospective observational study of acute ischemic stroke and TIA patients across china. The purpose of this study is to determine the monogenic disorders incidence of Chinese early-onset stroke patients. We plan to consecutively enroll more than 500 patients with early-onset stroke(in the 18- to 45-year age range) admitted in stroke units within 7 days after symptoms onset in participating centers. These early－onset stroke patients are referred for targeted sequencing using 'cerebrovascular disease panel'. By analyzing the sequencing results, we intend to identify monogenic causes causing early－onset stroke and develop clinical algorithms that might assist the clinician in deciding in which early－onset stroke patients testing for monogenic causes of stroke.
The aim of DETECT is to prove the feasibility of a multicenter phase III trial testing the hypothesis that intensive blood pressure control immediately after successful endovascular stroke thrombectomy can improve patient outcomes. Patients with stroke who have ongoing high blood pressure after successful clot retrieval will be included. Participants will be randomly placed (like flipping a coin) in one of two groups. There will be a 50% chance of each patient being placed to either group. The first group will be allowed to have a higher blood pressure range that is consistent with current recommendations. The second group will be given medications to bring their blood pressure down into a normal range. These blood pressure targets will be maintained for 48 hours. We will collect patient brain images and levels of stroke disability up to 90 days after their clot retrieval.
