Filter by:This study aims to observe the safety and effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke in real-world clinical practice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of cognitive sensory motor relearning, and sensory-motor relearning program alone on manual ability, sensation, gross and fine movements, and cognition in post-stroke patients. The main aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated approach and its impact on motor function, sensory processing, and cognitive skills in sub-acute stroke patients, with the goal of contributing to the development of more efficient rehabilitation interventions for UL sensory-motor impairments after stroke.
This study compares two approaches for rehabilitating stroke patients: Perturbation-Based Training and Bobath-Based Trunk Exercises. The perturbation based training focuses on challenging patients with unexpected movements to improve their balance and stability. While the Bobath method, concentrating on facilitating normal movement patterns. The study aims to determine which approach yields better outcomes in terms of trunk control, balance, and functional recovery for stroke patients. This study will also enable the individual to be more independent and minimize their falls.
In the acute posterior circulation strokes, the vertebrobasilar occlusions frequently related to worse outcomes than the anterior ones. However, few studies mentioned the benefit and safety of the emergent stenting in the successful recanalization at these complex occlusions. The investigators investigated whether the improvement of clinical outcome was achieved in postprocedural 3-month.
To evaluate the effects of the 1-year pharmaceutical care program offered by the clinical pharmacist to the patients admitted to the neurology service with the diagnosis of stroke, on medication adherence, quality of life, and clinical outcomes of the patients.
To assess the effects of a dual-task exercise program on cognitive-motor interference during dual-task walking and the associated changes in brain activity.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the functional recovery based on Barthel index (BI) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) while the secondary objectives are to assess the survival and re-admission rate as well as to investigate the inflammatory response in a subclinical study within 1 year of Neuroncell-EX infusion in participants with acute ischemic stroke.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of upper extremity single and double task training using virtual reality on upper extremity functions, cognitive functions and dual task performance in stroke patients. Our aim is to determine the effectiveness of dual-task upper extremity training compared to single-task training.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 6-weeks of reactive balance training (REACT) with and without neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to paretic lower limb muscles on biomechanical, clinical, neuromuscular and neuroplastic outcomes of reactive balance control. This project is a Phase-I study and incorporates a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial design. Methods: Forty-six individuals with chronic stroke will be recruited and screened for determining their eligibility for the study. Once enrolled, they will be randomized into either of the two groups: intervention group (23 participants) and control group (23 participants). Both groups will undergo series of pre-training assessments which includes a postural disturbance in the form of a slip- or trip-like perturbations and walking tests in laboratory environment. After the pre-training assessment, individuals will undergo 6-weeks of training (2 hour per session, 2 sessions per week). The intervention group will receive NMES with the REACT training and the control group will receive ShamNMES. NMES will be applied to the different muscle groups of the paretic lower limb using an advanced software which is able to synchronize muscle activation with the time of perturbation onset and according to the phases of gait. After training, both groups will again be tested on all the assessments performed pre training. This study will help us understand the immediate therapeutic and mechanistic effects of REACT+NMES and inform stroke rehabilitation research and clinical practice. Our study will provide foundational evidence for future use of NMES to implement clinically applicable neuromodulation adjuvants to reactive balance training, which could be leveraged for designing more effective future interventions for fall-risk reduction.
Introduction: Cerebrovascular damage (stroke) can generate motor or cognitive sequelae, making rehabilitation (such as the Pilates method) necessary to improve autonomy and quality of life. However, there are no studies on the efficacy of the method in the recovery of the upper limb and the improvement of autonomy after stroke. Methods: Randomized double-blind clinical trial with patients with stroke in semi-acute period, randomized into experimental group (EG) (conventional rehabilitation and Pilates) or control group (CG) (conventional rehabilitation). After randomization and initial evaluation, the intervention will begin (2 sessions per week, 3 months). After completion, there will be post-intervention assessment, and another one at 1 month. Intervention: The CG will receive 30 minutes of physical therapy and 30 minutes of occupational therapy. The SG will receive 20 minutes of physiotherapy, 20 minutes of occupational therapy and 20 minutes of Pilates. Assessment instruments: Mean Functional Independence; Functional Range Test; Timed 'Up and Go'; Nine Hole Peg Test; Box and Block Test; Arm, Shoulder and Hand Disabilities Questionnaire; Client Satisfaction Questionnaire.
