Filter by:Storke results in severe deterioration in quality of life and exercise. Severe disorders need to be treated as soon as possible and they need to be rehabilitated quickly in order for motor functions to develop properly. In the acute / subacute phase, patients are given robotic treatment. In addition to the study of mtoros functions, the study of gait and codination is the primary result. Patients treated with soft exoskeleton receive 15 treatments and movement testing is performed continuously. Members of the control group receive standard rehabilitation therapy. After 3 weeks, both groups will participate in a control study and then in a repeat control study at week 6. Our main goal is to compare the results and determine the efficiency of the robotic device.
We aim to optimize the radiological selection and the transfer model in patients with a 6-24h stroke for a fairer and broader access to a reperfusion treatment. The specific objectives are: 1. To confirm that the selection of patients for reperfusion therapies in the late window is safe by applying the same clinical and imaging criteria recommended by clinical guidelines for the early window treatment selection. 2. To evaluate the performance of non-contrast CT by applying immediate post-processing software for the selection of patients for reperfusion treatment in the late window. 3. To analyze the prehospital and arrival variables at the primary stroke center to generate decision trees that optimize the transfer decision in patients with activation of the stroke code in >6h from the onset of symptoms. METHODOLOGY: Study based on a mandatory, prospective, multicenter registry (CICAT registry) consisting of two phases 1. retrospective analysis with a detailed evaluation of the images of the included patients and generation of "machine learning" models that accurately predict the probability of receiving reperfusion treatment in the late window. 2. validation of the models in a prospective study. Clinical, radiological and transport variables will be studied. Response variables: rate of patients receiving reperfusion treatment in the late window, functional prognosis at 90 days, hemorrhagic transformation, and mortality.
To determine the effects of PNF patterns Training on trunk balance and gait in chronic stroke patients.
The aim of this study is to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) and conventional physical therapy program on the gait pattern through a new gait analysis system which encompasses spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters and to correlate the findings with the clinical evaluation.
To date, the time window of intravenous thrombolysis is limited within 4.5 hours of stroke onset. Although EXTEND study has proved that intravenous thrombolysis can be extended from 4.5 to 9 hours, but the eligible patients must be selected by CTP. Thus, it is of clinical importance how to extend the time window of intravenous thrombolysis, which can benifit more patients. The current trial aims to investigate the effect of intravenous thrombolysis with TNK from 4.5 to 6 hours in ischemic stroke with help of Butyphthalide, which was found to be neuroprotective.
Background: Although placement of an intra-cerebral catheter remains the gold standard method for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP), there are several limitations to the method. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to compare the correlation and the agreement of the wave morphology between the ICP (standard ICP monitoring) and a new nICP monitor in patients admitted with stroke. Our secondary objective was to estimate the accuracy of four non-invasive methods to assess intracranial hypertension. Methods: We prospectively collected data of adults admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or ischemic stroke (IS) in whom invasive ICP monitoring placed. Measures had been simultaneously collected from the following non-invasive indices: optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), pulsatility index (PI) using transcranial Doppler (TCD), a 5-point visual scale designed for Computed Tomography (CT) and two parameters (time-to-peak [TTP] and P2/P1 ratio) of a non-invasive ICP wave morphology monitor (Brain4care[B4c]). Intracranial hypertension was defined as an invasively measured ICP > 20 mmHg for at least five minutes.
This is a randomized pilot trial to evaluate the impact of a customizable stroke education app (vs standard of care discharge education) on patient satisfaction and education retention. The impact of the intervention will be assessed 7, 30, and 90 days post-discharge.
Dysphagia is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in stroke survivors. Electrical stimulation is often included as part of the treatment plan for dysphagia, and can be applied at a sensory or motor level intensity. However, evidence to support these different modes of stimulation is lacking. This study compared the effectiveness of sensory and motor level stimulation on post-stroke dysphagia.
Adults with stroke-related disability spend more time sedentary than adults without stroke-related disability, which places them at risk for poor cardiovascular health outcomes. Few interventions are designed to reduce post-stroke sedentary time. The purpose of this research is to test whether the teleABLE (Activating Behavior for Lasting Engagement) Intervention is feasible and acceptable to adults within the first 12 months post-stroke. The hypothesis is that teleABLE can be feasibly delivered using videoconferencing within the first 12 months post-stroke. 10 participants will complete assessments and activity monitoring (activPAL micro3) at 0 (baseline) and 8 (post-intervention)-weeks. Participants will complete 12 sessions of the teleABLE intervention. Findings from this study will be used to guide the intervention protocol in the planned next phase of this research.
In acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion, rescue intracranial stenting has been recently a treatment option to achieve recanalization in patients with the failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Nevertheless, there are few studies supporting this beneficial treatment in two cerebral circulations. We aimed to analyse whether the use of rescue intracranial stenting would improve prognosis of patients at 3 months.
