Filter by:This is a 50-patient, Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, hybrid decentralized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily subcutaneous (SC) injection of TXA127 in post-ischemic stroke patients. Subjects will receive either TXA127 0.5mg/kg or placebo for 12 weeks started 6 to 24 months post ischemic stroke, and they will have a 12 week follow up visit after treatment has ended. The primary efficacy outcome measure is individual patient absolute change from baseline in motor and sensory functions as measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) 12 weeks after start of treatment.
The present study will use transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) with conventional physical therapy in sub-acute (at least 2 weeks after stroke onset) to chronic stroke within 2 years to investigate the effect on cortical activity and upper and lower limb motor function. The findings may support the usage of tES for improving brain activity and motor function in a clinic setting.
The EMBOL-AF is a multicenter, international, observational study designed as a retrospective registry that will investigate the characteristics of systemic arterial embolic events after treatment of atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation. Due to the retrospective nature of the study, the registry is specially focused on cerebral embolism (stroke and TIA) because these are not only the most frequent and clinically relevant but also the most susceptible to underreporting. However, all embolism associated to AFAbl will be included. This study will gather all clinically relevant aspects and data of all cases of arterial embolism that have occurred over the last 5 years in the centers that will participate in the registry. Based on these reported cases, the incidence, management and outcomes of embolic events (particularly stroke and TIA) will be studied.
This is a prospective cohort study to investigate the early impact of evolocumab on patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in China. Evolocumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin taye 9 inhibitor, can significantly reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and has a positive effect on improving cardiovascular events. However, existing studies have focused almost exclusively on the long-term effects of Evolocumab, and the early effects of Evolocumab on AIS patients remains unclear.
To assess the efficacy and safety of tirofiban administration after intravenous thrombolysis for patients with AIS.
The goal of this proof of concept study is to determine if the visualization of the middle cerebral artery and its perforators, through 3D transtemporal ultrasound imaging, is possible thanks to an off-line analysis by 3D ultrasound localization microscopy. Visualization of these vessels would allow us to conclude on the presence, or absence, of an ischemic stroke in the region of the middle cerebral artery. To answer the question asked, 20 participants who suffered a stroke will carry out a transtemporal ultrasound examination specifically for research in the 7 days following his stroke. The data obtained will be analyzed by the CNRS medical imaging laboratory, in order to characterize the presence of a stroke and to compare the data obtained with that of standard examinations (CT and MRI).
The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effects of Human Urinary Kallidinogenase on improvement of neurological outcome, and early cerebral perfusion in acute ischemic stroke.
Objective. To assess the effect of innovative "High-Intensity Interval Training" (HIIT) on Heart Rate Variability, a strong biomarker of positive outcome after stroke. Design. A randomized controlled study with blinded assessment of the main criteria. Population. NIHSS<20 post-stroke patients, hospitalized in secondary care stroke-units within the first 3 months (sub-acute phase). Selection. Eligibility test on a semi-recumbent cycloergometer Intervention. In addition to a standard neurorehabilitation program (3±1 sessions daily, including cognitive and occupational therapy, physiotherapy with strengthening-stretching exercises), the aerobic group will benefit from a HIIT procedure (HIIT group) with a semi-recumbent cycloergometer, for 6 weeks representing 16 sessions; while the non-aerobic group will undertake a "Low-Intensity Group-Gymnastic Training" (Control or LIGT Group) (=segmental strengthening-stretching and proprioceptive exercises mainly), with the same training volume and frequency for both groups. Main outcome measure. Standard Deviation of Normal-to-Normal RR intervals (SDNN) from 24h Holter-ECG recordings at W4, W8 and M6. Modifications in patients' medical management are expected, as generalization of AT in moderate to severe stroke patients at the sub-acute phase, with "Low volume HIIT" and simple devices.
The goal os this clinical trial is to develop and validate a gamified, fully immersive, and stroke-specific virtual reality software to improve physical disability and quality of life in patients with stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the effects of a gamified, fully immersive and stroke-specific virtual reality 10-week intervention combined with usual care rehabilitation, compared to usual care rehabilitation alone and in combination with a commercially available VR system, on disability in patients with stroke. - To assess the effects of a gamified, fully immersive and stroke-specific virtual reality intervention combined with usual care rehabilitation, compared to usual care rehabilitation alone and in combination with a commercially available virtual reality system, on quality of life, upper-body motor function, gross manual dexterity, handgrip strength, static and dynamic balance, and cognitive function in patients with stroke
Stroke is defined as sudden neurological disruption of blood supply to brain. It is most common disease that causes severe disabilities like hemiparesis which is most common motor impairment that leads to persistent upper limb dysfunction. In this study we use two techniques to improve upper limb motor dysfunction and reduce spasticity. One is task-based activities which is used to improve motor function and focus on active participation rather than normal movement pattern and other is neural mobilization which aims to reduce spasticity which is most common in stroke patients.
