The goal of this clinical trial is to comparing the efficacies of different managements in patients with overactive bladder symptoms with stroke The main question it aims to answer are: - Are pelvic floor training exercises and bladder training enough to ease the symptoms of overactive bladder in patients with stroke? - Is tibial nerve stimulation really effective and does it decrease the need of medications in patients with overactive bladder with stroke? Participants are questioned if they have the symptoms of overactive bladder. After urodynamic evaluation, they are separated in 2 groups. Pelvic floor training exercises and bladder training are given in both groups; while one of the groups is followed with tibial nerve stimulation and the other one is followed with sham tibial nerve stimulation for 6 weeks. Our main aim was to compare effectiveness of tibial nerve stimulation in patiens with overactive bladder with stroke.
The hypothesis of this study is that sedoanalgesia will provide better early neurological recovery than general anaesthesia in acute ischaemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy and to investigate the haemodynamic data of both anaesthetic methods.
Stroke is an acute focal injury of the central nervous system caused by cerebral vessels. One in every four people is affected by stroke at different times in life. Globally, stroke is the second leading cause of death and third leading cause of disability in adults. we hypothesized that in patients with acute large vessel occlusive ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy, the infusion of 20% human serum albumin solution into the revascularization area can exert a stronger neuroprotective effect.
Prospective identification of potential responsible blood vessels, provision of intervention targets, prevention of fatal and disabling cerebrovascular diseases, identification of early END patients, determination of clinical treatment pathways, improvement of efficacy, and improvement of prognosis
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Stroke or Cerebrovascular Accident as clinical sign of focal disorder in brain functioning of rapid onset, with a presumed vascular origin and duration of more than 24 hours. It represents the first cause of physical disability in adults, and approximately half of people who survive stroke present motor and sensitivity disorders, which cause alterations in functionality, especially in activities of daily living, with the consequent impact negative in participation in the environment and the quality of life of people and their families. The objective of the study is to know the effectiveness of a Physiotherapy intervention, based on the achievement of objectives, in improving functionality, participation and quality of life after a Stroke compared to treatment protocol. Methodology: single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample of 62 subjects (31 in each group) will be recruited at the Ramon y Cajal University Hospital. The Physiotherapy intervention will consist of 30 sessions, 3 times/week, for 10 consecutive weeks, in which the treatment for the Experimental Group will be based on training of specific tasks aimed at functional objectives previously agreed upon with the person/user vs. the Control Group who will receive a conventional Physiotherapy treatment protocol. The outcome variables are: perception of quality of life (Spanish version of The Newcastle Stroke-specific Quality of Life Measure); degree of functional disability (Barthel Index); level of gait functionality (Spanish version of Functional Ambulation Categories); dynamic balance and trunk control (Spanish version of Trunk Impairment Scale); postural control (Spanish version of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients); and participation in the environment (Spanish version of the Oxford Participation and Activities Questionnaire). They will be collected at three times: before starting the study, initial assessment (V0), at the end of the intervention for each group, intermediate assessment (V1) and 6 months after V0 (V2).
This study aims to analyze the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) is beneficial for the treatment of post-stroke fatigue.
Introduction: Cerebrovascular damage (stroke) can generate motor or cognitive sequelae, making rehabilitation (such as the Pilates method) necessary to improve autonomy and quality of life. However, there are no studies on the efficacy of the method in the recovery of the upper limb and the improvement of autonomy after stroke. Methods: Randomized double-blind clinical trial with patients with stroke in semi-acute period, randomized into experimental group (EG) (conventional rehabilitation and Pilates) or control group (CG) (conventional rehabilitation). After randomization and initial evaluation, the intervention will begin (2 sessions per week, 3 months). After completion, there will be post-intervention assessment, and another one at 1 month. Intervention: The CG will receive 30 minutes of physical therapy and 30 minutes of occupational therapy. The SG will receive 20 minutes of physiotherapy, 20 minutes of occupational therapy and 20 minutes of Pilates. Assessment instruments: Mean Functional Independence; Functional Range Test; Timed 'Up and Go'; Nine Hole Peg Test; Box and Block Test; Arm, Shoulder and Hand Disabilities Questionnaire; Client Satisfaction Questionnaire.
This project is intended to collect data using standard clinical tests and psychophysics to quantify the effect of visual cortical damage on the structure of the residual visual system, visual perception, spatial awareness, and brain function. The investigators will also assess the effect of intensive visual retraining on the residual visual system, processing of visual information and the use of such information in real-world situations following damage. This research is intended to improve our understanding of the consequences of permanent visual system damage in humans, of methods that can be used to reverse visual loss, and of brain mechanisms by which visual recovery is achieved.
Stroke is the most common cause of mortality and is one of the most common causes of morbidity in the world. Polyneuropathies and entrapment neuropathies are known as the complications of stroke
