Filter by:To investigate the impact of algorithms utilizing artificial intelligence technology and computer vision on the recovery of motor functions within the context of rehabilitation practice for patients who have experienced a cerebral 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.
- In this study, large-scale ECG data (Electrocardiogram data of all patients stored in the MUSE system by measuring standard 12-guided ECG at Severance Health Checkup at Severance Hospital from November 1, 2005 to October 31, 2022) are combined with electronic medical records, National Health Insurance Corporation data, and National Statistical Office death cause data, and the artificial intelligence algorithm is used to extract ECG features to analyze the association between death, stroke, and various health conditions, and to conduct external verification or transfer learning using public databases (e.g., UK Biobank data). - Intended to use a web-based artificial intelligence platform to distribute computational loads generated during large-scale data processing and improve analysis accuracy and efficiency.
Multi-center, randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind, longitudinal, experimental clinical study to investigate functional recovery effects on the upper limb in chronic stroke patients and the accompanying neural plasticity mechanisms after the application of a brain-computer interface (BCI)-driven functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy supported by an assistive device (hand orthosis). All the equipment used during the study will be applied in compliance with the indications and methods of use for which it is authorized. Therefore, the results will not extend the indications for the use of the equipment and will not explicitly target industrial development. The study is non-profit and is aimed at improving clinical practice. The study involves two clinical centers. The promoting center is the Vipiteno Neurorehabilitation Department, Italy. The aggregate experimentation center is the Neurology Department of Hochzirl Hospital, Austria. The University of Essex, United Kingdom is the technology provider and data analysis center.
This clinical trial aims to examine the effects of combining HIIT on a semi-recumbent cycle ergometer (HIIT-RCE) with conventional physiotherapy on impairments and activity limitations in early subacute stroke. We hypothesized that HIIT combined with conventional physiotherapy would be more effective than conventional physiotherapy in improving workload capacity.
Exploring the Efficacy and Safety of Emergent Endovascular Treatment in Patients with Mild Ischemic Stroke Caused by Acute Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion based on Perfusion Imaging Screening
Mortality rates after acute ischemic stroke remain high despite continuously improving treatment. In this context, it is important to note that a relevant portion of acute ischemic stroke patients die from adverse cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, rather than from complications associated with the stroke itself. A possible reason might be that this patient group often suffers from at least moderate asymptomatic coronary artery disease. This study seeks to integrate cardiac computed tomography angiography into the standard-of-care diagnostic protocol of acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this prospective mono-centric trial is to enable accurate diagnosis of therapy-relevant coronary artery disease, other concomitant cardiac findings and cardiac causes of acute ischemic stroke, without delaying stroke therapy. In the long-run, the goal is to investigate whether cardiac computed tomography angiography and the resulting therapeutic measures (interventions or medications added) can improve functional outcome and rate of adverse cardiac complications in patients with acute ischemic stroke compared to a retrospective matched-cohort of patients without cardiac CT imaging.
The study is planned to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two types of anesthesia (regional and general) for carotid endarterectomy in 100 patients with acute stage of stroke: 50 patients will be operated under regional anesthesia and the remaining 50 patients under general anesthesia. Patient inclusion criteria: 1. Ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory 2. Ipsilateral stenosis of the internal carotid artery more than 50% 3. Neurological deficit at the time of surgical treatment: the modified Rankin scale (mRs) score of 0-4 and the US National Institutes of Health (NIHSS) stroke scale score no more than 12 4. The size of the ischemia focus: no more than 1/3 in the territory of the middle cerebral artery brain supply 5. Terms of operation: from 1 to 28 days from the moment of ischemic stroke The primary intra-hospital and/or 30-day study endpoints: 1. Perioperative ipsilateral ischemic stroke. 2. Any stroke: contralateral ischemic or any hemorrhagic stroke. 3. Myocardial infarction. 4. Hemorrhagic complications that required surgical revision of the operating wound or transfusion of blood components. 5. Surgical site infection 6. Death 7. Main adverse cardiovascular events (stroke + myocardial infarction + death).
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the influence of chronic RIC on collateral status evaluated by DSA in ischemic stroke patients with LAA etiology.
