Filter by:CRISIS I is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, to asses the impact of intensive blood pressure control on clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients with successful recanalization after endovascular therapy.
This observational, prospective cohort, pilot study aims at investigating usability, operational, and economical factors around 'traditional' and 'technology-supported' approaches to promote a healthy life-style in stroke survivors, after discharge from an in-patient clinic. The investigators primary objective is to evaluate the adherence to prescribed behavioral changes in dieting and exercising up to one year after clinical discharge. This pilot study will follow and document the observations of two groups of patients, one offered a 'traditional' and another one a 'technology-supported' approach by the healthcare provider. The investigators secondary objective is to gain insights on how to efficiently (and securely) facilitate remote counselling once patients get discharged from the clinic.
The investigators will perform a pilot 4-week at home study with 48 individuals with stroke and 10 therapists working with stroke patients to examine the feasibility and effect of a wearable focal muscle vibration device on upper limb strength and function.
Randomized clinical trial comparing two monitoring strategies, the use of a 48-hour Holter (routine care branch) and an event recorder for 7 days (intervention branch). Patients admitted for cryptogenic stroke will be included. Enrollment and randomization of patients will be carried out during the index case hospitalization, while follow-up will be done on an outpatient basis until day 7.
Subjects will receive non-invasive stimulation of nerves on their arm and intensive motor training of their arm. The timing of the stimulation in relation to the training will vary by group.
Individuals who experienced a stroke over one year ago will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 4 different conditions of brain stimulation. All individuals will receive therapy of the hand and arm following the stimulation. This study will try to determine which brain stimulation condition leads to the greatest improvement in hand and arm function.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had dramatic effects on health systems and on non-COVID health care. Using French inpatient claims data and retrospectively collected clinical data, the investigators will assess the changes in hospital admissions for acute cardiovascular and neurovascular conditions in France during and after the national lockdown.
The purpose of this study is to assess inter- and intra-rater reliability of the 6MWT in people with acute stroke who require various levels of assistance with walking.
The main objective of this monocentric prospective study is to evaluate the amplitudes and angular velocities of extension of the hand and wrist joints during passive mobilization by a physiotherapist in healthy subjects and stroke patients with spastic hands. Secondary objectives: - To compare amplitude and angular velocity values between the group of stroke patients and the group of healthy volunteers, - To compare amplitude and angular velocity values according to the two types of mobilization (i,e, thumb or fifth finger), - To assess pain due to mobilization in stroke patients.
CASTRO1 is a study to investigate the reduction of C-reactive protein (CRP) by therapeutic apheresis (CRP-apheresis) in patients after primary treatment of ischemic stroke. The term therapeutic apheresis commonly refers to medical procedures, where pathogenic constituents are being removed from the circulating blood. Elimination is performed by adsorbers outside the body in an extracorporeal circulation. For removal of the pathogenic substances the plasma is separated from the blood (circulation) to pass the adsorber. The purified plasma is merged with the solid blood components thereafter and returned to the patient. The adsorber "PentraSorb® CRP" used for CRP apheresis is CE-certified. It is designated to the selective depletion of C-reactive protein from human blood.
