Filter by:This is a multicenter, prospective registry clinical study to evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of intra-arterial treatment for acute ischemic stroke using Revive SE device on the basis of standardised medical treatment.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Stroke Unit in the Philippines by comparing the functional outcome between those patient admitted in the general neurology wards and stroke units using modified Rankin Scale
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of qigong practice with fitness exercise on balance, fall-efficacy, physical functions, psychological wellbeing and quality of life of stroke survivors.
The investigators hypothesize that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve upper limb motor recovery in the sub-acute phase of stroke patients. This is a randomized, controlled, double blind, cross-over, multicentre, clinical trial.
To study safety and feasibility of mild therapeutic hypothermia after successful recanalization by mechanical endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke and proximal arterial occlusion.
Participants will complete 11 sessions. These include screening, 5 sessions where exercise or rest (according to group assignment) are paired with practice of a motor task, MRI and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) before and after the intervention will be used to assess neuroplasticity (ability for the brain to reorganize and create new connections).
Stroke is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs due to a sudden disruption of blood supply to the brain. Although it may affect all age groups including children, the elderly are at a greater risk of having strokes. Indeed, three-quarter of all strokes are seen in people over the age of 65. Unfortunately, due to short therapeutic window (4.5 h of stroke onset), only 2-3% of patients can receive the currently available single medical therapy with rt-PA, a clot-busting agent. As recent studies show that bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells, a type of stem cells, may migrate to the site of injury to repair the damaged brain vessels and tissue, it is possible that their numbers and functional capacity may determine the clinical outcome of stroke patients i.e. severely disabled, moderately disabled or no signs at all. This study will assess these parameters in elderly stroke patients compared to their age-matched stroke-free counterparts and healthy young volunteers.
Horner's syndrome (HS) is a result of interruption of the sympathetic innervation to the eye and ocular adnexa, which can occur due to carotid artery dissection (CAD), along which the sympathetic nerve fibers travel to reach the eye. Dissection of the carotid artery is one of the etiologies for ischemic stroke in young patients. In our current study, we will explore the diagnostic accuracy of automated binocular pupillometry in the diagnosis or HS, and its potential in identifying dissection of the carotid artery in patients of young age who suffer ischemic stroke.
The oropharyngeal junction participates in 3 interpenetrating functions: Swallowing, Breathing and Speech. In the context of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, these are altered, isolated or associated manner, causing major disorders and representing a source of handicap for patients. Understanding the swallowing mechanisms is therefore a major challenge to guide the rehabilitation and improve the initial and long-term prognosis of patients with stroke. The main objective of this study is to describe and modeling, thanks to a clinical, physiological and radiological knowledge base, swallowing, speech and breathing, in patients with stroke and in healthy subjects.
Ischemic stroke accounts for the majority of stroke cases and constitutes a major cause of death and disability in industrial world. Inflammation has been reported to constitute a major component of ischemic stroke pathology. The brain responds to ischemic injury with an acute andprolonged inflammatory process. Few studies have investigated the relationship between acute biomarkers of inflammation and functional outcome following stroke
