Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether perfusion CT can be used as a selection tool in stroke patients with a major anterior circulation occlusion, to exclude patients from thrombectomy because of a predicted non-beneficial outcome, when treated within 6 hours of symptom onset. Researchers will compare the experimental group, where mechanical thrombectomy is only performed when prespecified perfusion CT criteria are fulfilled, with the standard of care treatment group, where all patients will receive mechanical thrombectomy, to see if functional independence at 90 days is non-inferior.
This study aims to develop a neurophysiological marker for post-stroke participants that predicts upper extremity motor recovery in response to a standard upper extremity rehabilitation protocol of task-specific training (TST). For this aim, the researchers will utilize transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) to observe inpatients with stroke-related hemiplegia and follow their recovery through outpatient for up to 3 months. Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), transcranial-evoked potentials (TEPs), action research arm test (ARAT) scores, and clinical outcome measures will be recorded at different time points of the inpatient rehabilitation period. The researchers hypothesize that changes in motor recovery will be reflected in changes in the MEPs and TEPs.

The brain is able to change throughout life in response to learning, or injury, or to adapt to changes in the environment, which is known as neuroplasticity. Stroke survivors suffer disabling chronic motor impairments that have proven challenging to improve. Increasing neuroplasticity using selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is a promising approach to promote motor recovery in patients with stroke.
This is a phase III trial trying to determine whether 12-hour bed rest following thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is non-inferior to 24-hour bed rest by measure of outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post bed rest.
This is a phase III trial trying to determine whether 12-hour bed rest following IV thrombolysis therapy (i.e. tPA) for ischemic stroke is non-inferior to 24-hour bed rest by measure of outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post bed rest.
