Filter by:We plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine whether usual rehabilitation plus an iPad application-based intervention improves post-stroke depression symptoms compared to usual rehabilitation alone. The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to investigate the feasibility of the final randomized controlled trial.
The investigators aim to explore the relationship between gut microbiota composition and earlier poststroke depression via 16S rRNA sequencing.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dry needling method in addition to neurodevelopmental therapy on spasticity, upper and lower extremity functions, balance and independence level in patients with stroke who have spasticity.
To describe the frequency and thresholds for sarcopenic obesity in neurodisabled persons and the fat and lean mass distribution based on various neurodisabilities
The study aims to evaluate the appropriateness of initiating oral anticoagulation for stroke risk reduction in dialysis populations with atrial fibrillation. Specifically, the study will assess the overall safety, tolerability, and efficacy of initiating treatment with Warfarin in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis and atrial fibrillation.
Paired associative stimulation (PAS) is a non-invasive stimulation method which is known to modulate corticospinal excitability through mechanisms related to long-term potentiation and long-term depression. The purpose of this study is to determine the reliability of individual subject's response (i.e., change in corticospinal excitability) to PAS in patients with chronic stroke (>6 months) with upper limb motor deficits.
This a single blind randomized control study comparing standard of care for nursing hospital discharge education versus same with an additional experimental enhanced educational intervention. It is planned that 300 patients will be enrolled in the study. There are two initial groups: the enhanced stroke education vs usual stroke education.
Despite the improved treatment of acute stroke over the past decades, those suffering from stroke still are at an increased risk of functional and cognitive decline in the long term. The most common consequences of stroke are functional impairments, cognitive impairments, depression and fatigue. These are also regarded as barriers to achieve optimal adherence to the guidelines regarding secondary prevention. The primary aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal individualized intervention to prevent functional decline in the long term after stroke.
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain signals relating to motor function, using electroencephalography (EEG) technology. The aims of the study can be separated into 3 specific study objectives: 1. Record EEG data from control participants and individuals with stroke during basic motor tasks and build a database of EEG signals to enable analysis of motor control. 2. Apply signal processing algorithms to extract EEG features related to motor control. 3. Develop a framework/the motor score (M-Score) that uses the EEG signals, in combination with machine learning approaches, to quantify motor control ability.
This pilot study for stroke patients with chronic upper limb hemiplegia will examine the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on hand motor control and corticospinal excitability. Specifically, this study will investigate the effects of timing and delivery of tDCS in conjunction with contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation.
