Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to confirm and compare the effect of methods of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) in the unilateral neglect of stroke patients
Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections are widely used to treat spasticity after stroke. Although this treatment is effective on muscle tone improvement, its effect on gait and ability of daily living on early stage of stroke adults remains uncertain.The purpose of this study is to determine whether an early calf muscle injection of low dose BoNT-A in severely affected patients within 6 weeks after stroke could help to hold back disabling muscle spasticity and improve walking dysfunction.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a novel computer gaming hand exercise regimen would improve hand and arm function and be feasible in people with hemiplegia after Stroke affecting the hand.
The aim of the study is to compare physical activity in stroke survivors who have undertaken a four month physical activity intervention using the STARFISH application with a control group receiving four months of usual care.
This is a prospective, open, multicentre trial that will enrol patients with clinical signs of stroke in the acute phase admitted for CT scan. Follow-up microwave measurements will be performed after the acute phase. The study assesses the diagnostic capability and safety of Strokefinder MD100.
Collateral circulation supports brain tissues to maintain blood perfusion in cerebral ischemic stroke and are of great benefit for a better outcome. A non-invasive approach relative to currently widely used digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is needed. ASL (arterial spin labeling) is a novel perfusion method without contrast agent injection and features both temporal and cerebral blood flow(CBF) information. The investigators applied multiple post labeled delay(PLD) time to pseudo-continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (3D pCASL) MRI and subtraction images were obtained to evaluate the collateral robustness and quantitatively assess the collateral perfusion in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis and the ability to predict future stroke recurrence.
The purpose of the research is to understand structural plaque abnormalities that make a carotid plaque unstable and brake off (embolize) which would help to predict and treat individuals who are likely to suffer not only classic episodic major strokes but also cognitive impairment.
This is a multi-center registry study. The investigators will include 10,000 patients with confirmed acute ischemic stroke in China. The aim of the study is to survey current treatment situation in China and compare the effectiveness and safety between different intervention regimens.
The main goal of this program of research is to advance our understanding of how the severely damaged brain changes over the first 12-months post stroke. The investigators will determine 'who recovers', 'who does not recover', and 'why'
Purpose: Intracranial atherosclerosis is a common condition in Korean population consisting over 25% of ischemic stroke etiology. American Stroke Association and Korean Stroke Society recommend antiplatelet and statin for the treatment of intracranial atherosclerosis. Besides lowering blood cholesterol levels statin also stabilize atherosclerotic plaque and eventually lower the risk of ischemic stroke. However, little evidence resides on the effect of statin treatment on intracranial atherosclerosis. Recent advance in high-tesla magnetic resonance imaging enables direct imaging of intracranial atherosclerotic plaque and further assessment of treatment efficacy of statin in stabilization of intracranial atherosclerotic plaque became possible.
