Filter by:The novel Amplatzer steerable delivery sheath (Abbott Vascular) is found to be safe and effective in performing LAAO procedure. However, the procedural outcomes have not been compared with the traditional non-steerable fixed curve sheath. In this study investigators aim to compare the outcome of patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion with the dual mechanism closure Amulet device using non-steerable fixed curve sheath versus a novel steerable sheath.
Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is one of the key elements of acute ischemic stroke. In this study, acute stroke patients maximum benefit from the treatment, intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) minimizing the errors related to the treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients of nursing students from clinical practice guides published on the treatment of It is aimed to be informed and to standardize nursing interventions.
This study aims to exam the effectiveness of vibration training on muscle strength of lower limbs, functional recovery, and mood state among patients with acute stroke.
Practising physical activity after a stroke is essential for the secondary prevention of stroke. However, the major individuals after stroke are sedentary. Individuals after stroke with mild disabilities could have fewer barriers to this practice. Thus, finding ways to promote physical activity after stroke in these individuals is important for them and public health. Interventions that consider behaviour change strategies are a good way to change a habit and could improve physical activity levels. Self-management interventions have been used to promote behaviour change in the stroke population. The aim of this pilot trial will be to determine the efficacy of a self-management program to increase physical activity levels in stroke survivors with mild disability through 6 home-based sessions of self-management exercise over 3 and 6 months in a low-income country. Our secondary aims are to evaluate the effect of a self-management program on walking, exercise self-efficacy, participation, quality of life, depression and cardiovascular risks after 3 and 6 months.
Many people have difficulties organising their behaviour and problem-solving (also known as executive function difficulties) after stroke. This can have serious, wide-ranging consequences for wellbeing and ability to regain independence. Currently, access to psychological interventions after stroke varies and there is not enough evidence to recommend a specific intervention for executive function difficulties after stroke. A short intervention was designed to help with executive function difficulties by making it easier to set goals and achieve them after stroke. The intervention is designed for online delivery to make it accessible to as many stroke survivors as possible. The present trial aims to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of a single blinded randomized controlled trial of this online executive function intervention (active intervention) compared to an online stroke psychoeducation intervention (control intervention).
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Optimization of intra-hospital pathways is as of today one of the most promising research topics in stroke treatment. A potential solution to shorten the time needed for current workflows, and therefore reperfusion, is to do both imaging and subsequent endovascular therapy (EVT) in the angiography suite using non-contrast syngo DynaCT Sine Spin (FDCT) for the exclusion of intracranial hemorrhage and flat detector CT angiography (FDCTA) or digital subtraction angiography for diagnosis of LVO. It is still a matter of debate if FDCT can reliably differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. This study aims to investigate if non-contrast syngo DynaCT Sine Spin imaging is non-inferior to non-contrast MDCT imaging regarding its sensitivity and specificity for the detection of intracranial hemorrhages.
The aim of our study is to therapeutic effect and platelet activity after intravenous laser irradiation of blood for ischemic stroke patient
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and functional outcomes with temporal muscle mass change.
The aim of this study is to propose a new measurement point for temporal muscle thickness (TMT) that can be similarly localized in computerized tomography (CT) /magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (USG), and to evaluate the reliability and consistency of these measurements.
Aim: To assess whether a cognitively demanding dual-task has greater impact on manual dexterity in chronic stroke patients than in healthy subjects. Methods: A visuomotor force-tracking task, combining grip force and oculomotor recordings, will be applied in chronic stroke patients with mild-moderate hemiparesis without clinical cognitive impairments and in age-comparable healthy subjects. The dual-task includes avoiding visual distractors and mental addition of numbers. Dual-task effect is calculated as difference in force control accuracy (dual minus single-task) and as difference in saccade rate (addition of numbers minus visual distractors).
