Filter by:TESTED will compare the risks and benefits of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) to medical management (no EVT) in ischemic stroke patients who have a blockage in one of the large blood vessels in the brain and have a moderate-to-severe disability prior to their stroke.
The goal of this feasibility study is to ascertain if this follow-up programme of care can feasibly be implemented within a healthcare system with people after minor stroke. The main feasibility questions are: i) To establish recruitment uptake ii) To establish treatment adherence iii) To determine participant retention. Participants will be randomly allocated to the intervention and control group. Those in the intervention group will receive a follow-up telephone call at two weeks after discharge and a second follow-up appointment at six weeks after discharge. Outcome measures will be taken at twelve weeks after discharge.
Focus of attention refers to what a person is thinking about during a task, with an internal focus being thinking about what one's body is doing and an external focus being thinking about a target or outcome in the environment. The purpose of this study is to fill some of the gaps in the literature by examining the effects of focus of attention on performance and learning of sit to stand in individuals post stroke. This study will investigate whether an internal or external focus of attention can lead to improved use of the affected lower extremity during the sit to stand transition, while maintaining an upright trunk position.
A clustered randomized control trial to evaluate whether multi-aspect intervention based on an AI-aided clinical feedback system could improve the quality of EVT and functional outcome of patients.
Hypothesis: Hyper chloremia is associated with poor outcome in Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICT). Hyperchloremia is defined as serum chloride level of 110mmol/L or greater. This clinical study is assuming that, by increasing the ratio of Sodium-acetate to Sodium-chloride solutions in IV treatment, the incidence of Hyperchloremia can be lowered significantly. This result can be demonstrated by measuring serum chloride levels at Baseline, 24Hr, 48Hr and 72 Hours' time intervals and compare them between the three treatment and one Control arm. Intervention (drug/biologic/device/behavioral): Phase 2-dose finding Patients will be enrolled in the study and randomized into one of the four study treatment arms(target fluid administration rate 1 ml/kg/hour) initiated within 12 hours. IVF will be prepared in the main hospital pharmacy. 1. Sodium chloride (0.9%) referred as 0.9% NaCl for 72 hours post symptom onset (60-72 hourspost randomization); 2. Sodium chloride (0.9%) and sodium acetate (0.9%) mixture 3:1 ratio for 72 hours post symptom onset (60-72 hours post randomization); 3. Sodium chloride (0.9%) and sodium acetate (0.9%) mixture 2:1 ratio for 72 hours post symptom onset (60-72 hours post randomization); 4. Sodium chloride (0.9%) and sodium acetate (0.9%) mixture 1:1 ratio for 72 hours post symptom onset (60-72 hours post randomization).
The main aim of this study is to identify the predictive value of CT parameters (e-ASPECTS, CTP, collateral vessel status, volume, and location of ischemic lesion volume) at a 3-month functional outcome defined by the modified Rankin scale (mRS) in patients with non-lacunar stroke after recanalization treatment (Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy and/or Mechanical Thrombectomy, or conservative treatment).
The aim of this methodological study is to adapt the Fugl-Meyer assessment to Turkish culture and to test its validity and reliability in acute phase stroke patients.
Longitudinal, prospective, single-center observational study of visual impairment after stroke. Population: Patients admitted with acute ischemic stroke at the Regional Stroke Unit at Oslo University Hospital who are assessed to not have more serious neurological deficits than to be eligible for a prospective observational study of visual impairment. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) will be used for screening of the patients eligible for the study with cut off of NIHSS 20. Based on the number of patients admitted to our center to include 120 patients in the StrokeVIS study. The study aims are: 1. To determine the prevalence of visual impairment in stroke patients in the acute phase and after 3 months. 2. To compare visual impairment in those treated with EVT and those not. 3. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Vision Screening Assessment (VISA) tool for detection of visual impairment in stroke patients. 4. To assess possible association between brain MRI lesions and visual impairment in stroke patients in the acute phase. 6) To assess any cognitive deficits at 3-month follow-up that could impact visual function. Inclusion criteria: 1. Acute ischemic stroke and NIHSS < 20 2. Age ≥18 years. 3. Written informed consent of the patient or oral informed consent witnessed by a doctor. Exclusion criteria: 1. NIHSS < 20 2. No willingness and ability of the patient to participate in all baseline and follow-up examinations. Duration of study participation: 3 months.
Although High-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise has emerged in recent years as a powerful time-efficient alternative to moderate-intensity continuous cardiovascular exercise training (MICT) to enhance neuroplasticity, motor, and cognitive functions, its feasibility remains to be determined early after stroke. Our study aims to investigate the feasibility of the HIIT program and its effects on functional abilities, cognitive function, and quality of life in early post-stroke.
The subacute phase of stroke provides a window into how a lesion perturbs sensorimotor functions prior to reorganisation driven by plasticity and neurorehabilitation. The recovery from motor impairment has been extensively studied, but it is currently unknown whether motor skill learning (MSkL) is enhanced or impaired during acute stroke, especially bimanual motor skill learning (bim-MSkL), which likely requires more motor-attentional-cognitive resources than unimanual MSkL. The goals of this project are: to determine the neural substrates critical to achieve proximal and distal bimanual motor skill learning (bim-MSkL) by specifying whether (sub)acute stroke to different brain areas (cortical and subcortical) induce specific deficits in bimanual and/or distal bim-MSkL, which behavioral components are involved in bim-MSkL, and whether damage to the motor, sensory and inter-hemispheric pathways specifically impairs proximal and/or distal bim-MSkL.
