Filter by:Post-stroke motor recovery is compelling but limited. Current rehabilitation has less impacts on the plateau that spontaneous biological recovery could be expected. The advances in non-invasive neuromodulation and neurophysiological characterization of critical motor recovery period enable breaking the proportional recovery limitation. Our pilot studies demonstrated the safety and responsiveness of combing dual transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and motor training in subacute stroke patients. There is also strong evidence that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can substantially increase the effects of tDCS and improve motor function after stroke, even in the absence of depression. This proposal aims to prove the potential of combining of tDCS and the commonly used SSRI citalopram to improve response to a daily motor training intervention in acute stroke patients (Co-STARS trial).
To explore the safety and efficacy of edaravone dexborneol for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients who received thrombolysis.
Turning is a challenging task for stroke patient. Previous studies showed that turning is one of the activities which resulting in falling frequently in stroke. However, the assessment tool of turning performance is still lack of reliability and validity. Furthermore, the main factors which affected turning ability in stroke are not approved yet.
The Axem Home study is a randomized open label trial analyzing the safety and feasibility of coupling the Axem Home prototype device with exercise to improve motor recovery following a stroke.
The use of rescue intracranial stenting is thought to be associated with better outcomes than with patients received medical treatment only after failed thrombectomy as Reperfusion technique. This raised the questions about the factors that affect outcomes of rescue intracranial stenting angioplasty, so the best outcomes can be achieved.
Firstly, the application effect of the existing predictive models, SOAR and GWTG-Stroke, was verified in Guangdong acute ischemic Stroke population, and the clinical application effect of the existing predictive models was verified. Secondly, the predictive value of clinical indicators was analyzed, SOAR and GWTG-Stroke scores were optimized, and an improved prediction Model (New Model) was constructed. The third is to apply the New Model to clinical practice, collect clinical data and evaluate the prediction effect of the Model, and evaluate the prediction efficiency of the improved prediction Model.
The research team will develop a novel training tool to improve finger joint coordination, to address the unmet need in the current rehabilitation, thereby enhancing hand function and contributing to improved independence and quality of life for Veterans with stroke.
stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. More than half (54.5%) of the 56.9 million deaths worldwide in 2106 were due to the top 10 causes. Ischemic heart disease and stroke are the world's biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15.2 million deaths in 2106. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years. Recent clinical trials have shown that endo-vascular thrombectomy is an effective and safe recanalization modality for acute ischemic stroke patients . Meta-analysis results show that endovascular treatment is associated with a high ratio of successful recanalization rate and a low rate of symptomatic hemorrhage . Approximately 2.2-37.5% of patients with acute ischemic stroke might encounter early neurological deterioration (END). Definition of END: An increase in NIHSS ≥4 or an increase in Ia of NIHSS ≥1 within 72 h after recanalization treatment.
As human beings live longer, geriatric disease develop, one of which was stroke whose prevalence elevated by aging. Increased spasticity is a common symptom after stroke and may hinder patient from rehabilitation. The spasticity was evaluated by subjective judgement before. However, in the recent studies, the electrophysiological test, an objective evaluation, showed possibly positive correlation with the spasticity. They compared stroke patients' hemiplegic side with non-hemiplegic side by H/M ratio which showed significant difference. The stroke patients included in studies had stroke onset over 2 years. Therefore, investigators wonder if H/M ratio can evaluate spasticity in stroke patients onset within 2 years and if H/M ratio is correlated to spasticity.
Using EEG and metabolomics to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xinglouchengqi decoction in improving nerve injury in the acute stage of stroke and the mechanism
