Filter by:The main purpose of the study is to find out if MBSR (Mindfulness) in addition to occupational therapy, can improve the therapeutic results in stroke-patients and help relatives of stroke patients to improve their quality of life.
The goal of the study is to determine the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the premotor cortex on training-related improvements in motor performance and associated neural plasticity.
Role of anti-platelet in treatment of acute ischemic stroke to determine the safety of immediate anti-platelet therapy .that is started as soon as possible within the first 24 hours of the onset of symptoms.
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the third most common cause of disability. The effects of stroke are variable and may include impairments in motor and sensory systems, emotion and neuropsychological deficits such as a disorder of spatial awareness known as unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Approaches to ameliorate USN could be categorized in interventions as involving either bottom-up or top-down processing. The specific mechanisms underlying these effects on a number of manifestations of the USN syndrome may include the restoration of defective representations of the side of space contralateral to the lesion (contralesional), and of the ability to orient spatial attention contralesionally, through complex patterns of activation of both the damaged right hemisphere, and the contralateral left hemisphere, with differences related to the specific stimulation delivered to the patient. In recent years, increasing cutaneous stimuli through neuromuscular kinesiotaping has been proposed to enhance somatosensory inputs (24) and such as method could have positive effects on USN. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of KTM applied on the sternocleidomastoid muscle controlateral side of the lesions in improving USN deficits in individuals with stroke patient in sub-acute phase. The hypothesis is that the KTM application could improved cognitive tests for assessing USN, motor deficits and kinesthetic neck sensibility.
A prospective double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized cross-over trial to evaluate the effect of lowering cerebral blood flow on the ventilatory chemoreflexes (acute hypoxic and hypercapnic ventilatory responses).
Ischemic stroke has a variety of treatments and currently drug therapy is one of the main treatments.A number of clinical studies have proved that alprostadil (PGE1) has pharmacological effects of significant dilation of blood vessels, inhibition of plate aggregation, anti-atherosclerosis and increased cerebral blood flow.Evaluate the 90-days efficacy by comparing two groups of patients'(one with alprostadil,another with placebo) mRS.
After a stroke caused by a blockage (clot) in a blood vessel in the brain, patients may have the clot removed by threading a catheter from the groin up to the affected area of the brain. An anesthesiologist is involved in the patient's care during this procedure to maximize patient safety and procedural efficiency. The options for anesthesia for this procedure are general anesthesia (where the patient is unconscious) or sedation (where the patient is in a relaxed, calm, sleepy condition). Currently, it is unclear which of these anesthetic options contributes to the best patient outcome. The investigators would like to investigate whether or not one method of anesthesia (general or sedation) is better to use than the other when removing the clot.
The investigators plan to undertake a phase II study to investigate the efficacy and side effects of intravenous ketamine to reduce neuroexcitotoxicity, and thus provide neuroprotection in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke.
This study evaluates the addition of Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection to aspirin in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.Half of patient will receive Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine Injection(25mg once/day D1-D14) and aspirin(300mg loading dose,then 100mg once/day D2-D14) in combination, while the other half will receive aspirin(300mg loading dose,then 100mg once/day D2-D14).
This study aimed to examine the effects of functional action observation training on gait ability in chronic stroke patients.
