The study is a comparative study, to show that the administration of RSS stimulation on the face compared to the administration of strategy Sham stimulation, results in an temporary improvement in the tactile acuity of the hand in patients with tactile acuity impairment of the hand due to stroke.
Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are at risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis. Although there is a risk assessment model for hemorrhagic transformation after thrombolysis, there is no evidence of clinical application in the population of Guangdong Province. . Purpose: To verify the clinical application effect of the existing risk assessment model for hemorrhage transformation after thrombolysis in the local population; to improve the existing prediction model and verify the predictive value of HT after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods: (1) Continuously collect AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 to verify the clinical application effects of three existing models (HAT, SIT-sICH, THRIVE) on bleeding transformation. Collect baseline and bleeding transformation information within 7 days after thrombolysis, and use ROC curve, calibration curve, sensitivity and specificity to evaluate the prediction effect. A logistic regression model was used to construct an improved HT prediction model based on the AIC principle; (2) Continuous collection of AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis in two local hospitals from January 2021 to December 2022 for internal and external verification. Expected results: (1) Evaluate the clinical application value of the existing prediction model in local AIS patients with intravenous thrombolysis; (2) Develop a modified risk assessment model suitable for hemorrhage transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS patients in Guangdong area, and evaluate the risk early Provide guarantee for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
The purpose of this study was to administer intervention based on self-supporting care model in home environment and to explore the effects of this intervention on stroke patients' activities of daily living, movement, cognition, nutritional status, and quality of life.
In recent publications evaluating scapular kinematics after stroke, it is emphasized that scapular muscles, which affect the performance of upper limbs in daily life, should not be ignored. When the literature is analyzed for these reasons, the studies in which scapular training was added to the treatment plan of upper limb rehabilitation of stroke individuals are inadequate and the existing studies have methodological deficiencies. Also, it is seen that studies which investigate the effects of these exercises on scapular kinematics, the parameters of periscapular muscle thickness and shoulder subluxation are not included. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of scapular training on scapular kinematics, periscapular muscle thickness, shoulder subluxation and upper extremity functionality in stroke individuals. The study was planned to include 2 groups, 1 treatment and 1 control group. The control group will receive Neurodevelopmental Treatment - Bobath exercises, while the treatment group will receive exercises for the muscles around the scapula in addition to Neurodevelopmental Treatment - Bobath exercises. Muscle thickness of periscapular muscles, shoulder subluxation, 3D scapular kinematics, upper extremity and trunk performance, pain, activities of daily living and quality of life will be assessed before and after 8 weeks treatment program. As a result; effectiveness of scapular training in addition to Neurodevelopmental Treatment and relationship between scapular kinematics, periscapular muscle thickness, shoulder subluxation, and upper extremity performance will be examined.
The aim of this trial is to investigate whether endovascular treatment can improve the 90-day functional outcome of acute large vessel occlusion in the posterior circulation.
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the UK. There are few treatment options that improve long-term disability outcomes after stroke. Animal studies indicate that aerobic exercise training can improve brain repair and reduce disability after stroke. However, in clinical practice it is difficult for stroke survivors to undertake aerobic exercise due to lower-limb disability and a lack of accessible exercise equipment. This study will assess the feasibility of implementing a 5-day aerobic exercise training intervention, beginning in the acute phase of stroke (1-7 days post-stroke), using a power-assisted exercise bike. Feasibility outcome measures: recruitment rate (30 participants recruited within 18 months), completeness of data (>80% of planned measurements recorded) and the safety (<10 adverse events related to the intervention) and acceptability (>3/5 comfort scale) of the intervention. We will also investigate the acute effects of aerobic exercise on cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler ultrasound, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (serum and plasma).
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind (patient and evaluator), sham-controlled study to be conducted in stroke patients with upper-extremity spasticity. The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance and safety of the MyoRegulator® device in active- versus sham-treated patients after 5 consecutive days of treatment. The MyoRegulator® device is a non-significant risk (NSR) investigational non-invasive neuromodulation device that uses multi-site direct current (multi-site DCS) stimulation for the treatment of muscle spasticity.
This is a Phase I, first-in-human, dose ascending, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study to assess the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ApTOLL in healthy volunteers. ApTOLL is an aptamer able to antagonize TLR4 receptor and, therefore, to reduce the inflammatory response.
Stroke is the most common cause of non-traumatic disability in adults and ranks second among causes of dementia and third among causes of death. In France, stroke affects around 140,000 patients each year and entails enormous economic costs. Given the average age of onset of stroke, its prevalence is expected to increase with increasing life expectancy and the advancing age of the population. Clinically, depending on the region of the brain affected, stroke results in a sudden and abrupt onset of sensorimotor, cognitive, emotional and / or behavioral manifestations, associated with variable recovery from patient to patient. Stroke has psychological, social and family consequences. Indeed, its occurrence could affect patients on a physical and psychological level (direct physical and cognitive sequelae of stroke, decrease or even absence of autonomy and dependence of the entourage, associated psychological changes) and generate repercussions on the dynamics. family or that of the couple (ie, changes in activities, redistribution of tasks, changes or even inversion of roles, alteration of the intimate sphere), as well as professional and social life. This could hamper the quality of life of patients and their loved ones and cause collateral damage to their social or family environment. After discharge from the hospital, the patient's relatives will play a major role in taking charge of home care (e.g. household activities and personal care around hygiene, food, mobility and administration. treatments) as well as in the community (eg purchase of clothes or food, accompaniment to medical visits), although these helpers do not have the professional knowledge and skills in care. Despite the positive effects that caregivers can have in connection with the care they provide (ie, feeling of accomplishment and usefulness, development of a sense linked to this helping role, better self-esteem, improvement of personal skills), their continued investment in their sick relatives could deprive them of their resources, making them "hidden or invisible patients / victims". In addition, the gap between caregiver capacities to provide care and the health needs of patients could result in caregiver burden (i.e., caregiving burden). Caregivers of stroke patients experience an impaired quality of life, neglect of their own health, reduced work and leisure activities, as well as psychological suffering involving feelings of abandonment, loneliness and helplessness. uncertainty. In the context of a stroke, caregivers may be overwhelmed by the emotions of their ill loved ones as well as their own emotions. Emotional regulation is essential in such a context rich in emotional experience; it is the set of strategies that enables individuals to influence the emotions they feel, when they appear, and how they experience and express them. Reviews of the literature have highlighted the lack of studies addressing the burden on caregivers and the need for research to identify those at risk and implement appropriate interventions. No French study has specifically addressed the notion of the burden of caregivers of stroke patients, their coping strategies, their experiences or emotional regulations. This type of study would however constitute a step towards the design and implementation of personalized care (eg: psychotherapies), by strengthening effective / adaptive strategies and modifying those which are less effective / poorly adaptive. This could improve the well-being of caregivers and their sick relatives, and direct health policies to reduce the economic impact of this aid.
