Filter by:The goal of this clinical pilot trial is to test the feasibility, acceptance and preliminary efficacy of an adapted group psychotherapy manual in stroke survivors with psychological stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the group therapy feasible? - Is the group therapy accepted by stroke survivors and therapists? - Are there first indications on the efficacy of the group therapy to improve mental health? Participants will take part in 8 weekly group therapy sessions of 90 minutes each.
Patients with stroke benefitted from superior improvements in physical function, particularly when performing activities of daily living, fewer visits to the emergency room, less depression symptoms, and improved health-related quality of life thanks to transitional model care. Despite widespread implementation of transitional care for stroke patients, intervention effectiveness remains inconclusive, and another concern with transitional care for patients is the scarcity of effects on specific findings.
According to the most up-to-date knowledge, there is no Turkish comprehensive and validated instrument to assess stroke survivors' unmet needs in the longer term. So, this study aims to translate and adapt the LUNS into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties in survivors living at home after a stroke. Our hypothesis in this study is: - The Turkish Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke Questionnaire (T-LUNS) is a valid tool for assessing the unmet needs of stroke patients in the Turkish population.
The study aims to assess the impact of "sexual nursing care" on sexual dysfunctions in Italian stroke patients. The method involves a randomized clinical trial with two groups: one receiving specific sexual care and the other standard care, both involving the partner. Various assessment scales are used, and four outpatient interventions are administered over six months. Results indicate improvement in body awareness, management of sexual dysfunctions, relational dynamics, and quality of life for both patients and partners. In conclusion, the importance of sexual health in stroke patients is highlighted as an indicator of quality of life. Targeted nursing interventions can facilitate timely diagnosis and a personalized approach to patients and partners.
It is an interventional study in which 60 stroke patients estimated to enroll according to random allocation and will divided into two groups. The study group participants will involve in Telerehabilitation sessions will be based on low-impact rhythmic movements, guided by video with the Baduanjin exercise program ,the control group will receive the same aerobic exercises only
The goal of this study is to establish a prospective study to focus on the high-risk stroke population who require coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It will divide the eligible patients into 1:1 group by simple randomization method. The control group adopt the traditional diagnosis and treatment mode, and only head CT plain scan and carotid artery ultrasound shall be performed. If necessary, relevant disciplines would be consulted but no integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels be arranged. The final treatment plan would be decided by the surgeon alone. The experimental group adopt the multidisciplinary collaboration and integrated evaluation mode. In addition to routine diagnosis and treatment as above-mentioned, integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels shall be performed, including transcranial color-coded doppler, cerebral perfusion with multislice CT, and cognitive function assessment. Based on the above results, surgical plans will be formulated jointly by multiple disciplines including neurologists, vascular surgeons, ICU physicians and cardiac surgeons. Researchers will compare the two groups to investigate whether integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels can reduce the incidence of brain injury compared with conventional diagnosis and treatment mode.
The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) nested in a prospective cohort, is to investigate the superior effect of late-phase robot-assisted versus standard training on motor function, physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in a moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke population following subacute rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of the study is: Robot-assisted training has a superior effect on motor function (Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity Assessment; primary outcome), physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke-affected individuals in comparison to standard training.
A prospective, single-center study would be carried out in the Neurology Department of the University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González" in order to analyze the effect of cerebrolysin on the blood-brain-barrier in patients with ischemic stroke with personal history of type-2 diabetes
Stroke is a sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, resulting in physical and mental disabilities. It's a global health issue affecting millions each year, often leading to paralysis, altered muscle tone, and loss of motor control and balance. This study aims to examine the immediate effects of open and closed kinetic chain activites on upper extremity spasticity and motor dexterity in hemiplegic patients. This study will be conducted simultaneously at İstinye University Hospital Medical Park Gaziosmanpaşa and İstinye University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Application and Research Center (İSÜFİZYOTEM). 50 stroke patients will be included in the study, and all participants will be asked to sign an informed consent form. At the beginning of the session, all participants will be evaluated for their socio-demographic characteristics by a questionnaire created by the researchers, muscle viscoelastic properties by MyotonPRO, upper extremity muscle tone by Modified Ashworth Scale, upper extremity motor dexterity by Box and Block Test, and upper extremity joint range of motion by goniometer and by a phone application named as PhysioMaster. After the assessment, participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: open kinetic chain activity group and closed kinetic chain activity group. After performing the exercises, all evaluations will be conducted again. Thus, the aim is to understand the immediate effects of two different group exercises on the evaluated parameters.
This study aims to investigate the training benefits of modular 3D printed dynamic orthoses on upper limb function in stroke survivors.
