Filter by:The bloodletting puncture is an external treatment for acute ischemic stroke by releasing an appropriate amount of blood with a three-edged needle at specific points on the patient's body. As a special treatment for acute ischemic stroke, it has been used clinically in hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine in China for many years and has achieved certain efficacy. However, there is a lack of comprehensive and objective clinical observation and mechanism research on this treatment method, as well as a lack of scientific efficacy evaluation standards and technical specifications. Therefore, we planned to explore the effectiveness, safety and accessibility of bloodletting puncture in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke through a mixed-method study of a multi-center randomised controlled trial and focus group.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a multidisciplinary telehealth-based model of outpatient stroke care on blood pressure control following stroke, and further, to evaluate its impact on racial disparities in post-stroke blood pressure control.
The main objective of this study is to quantitatively assess the robotic assistance given by an exoskeleton on patients gait parameters. Patients will be asked to walk with- and without the exoskeleton on a treadmill. During the study, the biomechanical and the energy consumption will be assessed.
Ischemic stroke is the first cause of acquired disability of the adult, the second cause of dementia and the third cause of death in the industrialized countries, what constitutes à major public health issue. Stroke is characterized by a cerebral parenchymal lesion due to an ischemic mechanism (85% of the cases) or hemorrhagic mechanism (15%). For a long time, the only approved treatment was the intravenous thrombolysis (rt-PA). Recently, thrombectomy has proven its superiority in this pathology. Cohorts of patients with stroke are rare but can be very valuable by their clinical, laboratory and imaging well documented. They are the source of new hypotheses for research or interventions as well as the quality of care assessment tool. The main objective of this project is to identify new markers: biological and imaging, treatment response and prognosis after ischemic stroke. Secondary objectives of the HIBISCUS-STROKE II cohort are to establish a clinical database, completed by biological samples and by imaging data that can be used in the following areas: Descriptive epidemiology of ischemic stroke and cerebral reperfusion, Pharmacoepidemiology and treatments observatory: safety, efficacy, indication of treatment in real life, costs Assessment of the long-term effect of the treatment on the occurrence of disability, stroke recurrence and death, Quality of life and personal, familial, professional and social consequences of stroke, Research of new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, Research projects. Ancillary study : Cardiac complications are the second leading cause of death after stroke. A close relationship between brain damage and heart complications, referred to as "neuro-cardiac syndrome" has been established. 20% of patients admitted for ischemic stroke present at least one major cardiac event, including acute coronary syndrome, heart failure and / or cardiac arrhythmia, within three months of the event, while 28% have a left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50%. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear and the therapeutic targets unknown. To study these mechanisms, an ancillary study will be proposed to patient whom accepted to participate in the main project research. The general objective of the ancillary study is to identify early markers of cardiac damage during ischemic stroke having benefited from mechanical recanalization by thrombectomy, and to improve the understanding of the pathophysiology at the origin of cardiac complications in the course of an ischemic stroke with the final objective of identifying new therapeutic targets.
The most recent treatment for stroke rehabilitation is to combine physical training with other therapies to enhance or accelerate recovery.The hypothesis of this study is that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) might have a beneficial effect on motor recovery of AIS
The aim of the study is to examine the reliability and validity of the synchronous and asynchronous application of Berg Balance Scale and Tinetti Balance Test in stroke patients.
Interventional study of the effects of vibro-tactile feedback on behavioral deficits and learning during motor training in patients with stroke.
Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) is a novel brain stimulation technique that has been shown to be safe and effective in modifying biological parameters when applied to the cerebral cortex. Its application decreases cortical excitability, regardless of the polarity of the magnetic field, reducing the amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEP). tSMS is presented as a potentially useful tool in the management of the interhemispheric inhibition, a condition present in neurological pathologies such as stroke or multiple sclerosis. Despite having demonstrated neurophysiological effects in previous studies, the effects of tSMS application on force production and manual dexterity, have not yet been clearly established. The present study aims to evaluate changes in force production, manual dexterity, and fatigue after unilateral application of a tSMS session on the primary motor cortex (M1). It is hypothesized that the application of tSMS will momentarily decrease the parameters of strength and manual dexterity in the upper limb contralateral to the stimulated cortex, without changes in the strength and dexterity of the unstimulated hemibody. These parameters may show an increase in the unstimulated hemibody. If the hypothesis is confirmed, it could be considered a valid treatment for health conditions presenting interhemispheric inhibition.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided and non-guided suprascapular nerve block in the treatment of patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain, which is one of the most common post-stroke complications.
