Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether simple, evidence-based clinical screening be quickly and feasibly implemented (>85% of patients in an average of <6 minutes) in large-volume urgent transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke clinics to identify individuals at high risk for the three most common and devastating post-stroke co-morbidities (depression, obstructive sleep apnea and cognitive disorders).
To use repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat stroke patients is getting a popular idea. Previous studies seemed to support its effects on facilitating motor recovery after stroke. This study focuses on the motor recovery of lower extremities. Investigators conducted the study to evaluate the treatment effect of rTMS on the functional performance of lower extremities in terms of postural control, balance, and mobility in stroke patients. Investigators hypothesized that these performances could be improved through the better motor control of lower extremities caused by rTMS.
This study examines aphasia treatment response among Veterans and non-Veterans living with aphasia. It seeks to identify cognitive and neural factors which are predictive of positive response to treatment targeting naming impairments in aphasia. It also examines the dose-response relationship for naming treatment. More broadly, it seeks to determine who aphasia therapy works best for, and how much aphasia therapy is sufficient to achieve positive treatment response.
To study the result of intravenous fluid in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 72 hours.
Stroke is one of the main severe disease of public health importance. Increasing evidence suggests that inflammatory mechanisms plays a significant role in stroke. So, immune targets are supposed to be an effective one. The sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor regulator Fingolimod(FTY720)is an effective immunology modulator which has been widely used in autoimmune disease and has been testified effective on stoke animal models.
The purpose of this study is to clarify efficacy and safety of MRI-based intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase for patients with acute wake-up ischemic stroke and those having acute ischemic stroke with unknown time of symptom onset.
The purpose of this controlled, randomized intervention is to investigate whether a fat-based (ketogenic) diet given for a week has a positive effect on blood sugar, mortality and function in patients hospitalized with acute stroke compared to the effect of a usual diet. The study hypothesis is that a ketogenic diet and reduced availability of glucose to the brain cells will reduce the volume of neuronal damage in the brain and improve function. The intervention will take place at the neurological units of Glostrup and Bispebjerg Hospital in Denmark.
An exploratory clinical study on a Variable Speed and Sensing Treadmill system(VASST) for hemiparetic gait rehabilitation after stroke. Building upon the positive results of VASST I conducted in 2012, VASST II will be an open label pilot trial of 11 subjects screened for eligibility by TTSH medical and rehabilitation team Study hypotheses : Training on VASST may result in a gain of +40% - 50% for distance walked and +10-20% of gait speed compared to baseline and response rate of 85% and serious adverse event rate of <10%.
The primary objective of the study is to compare the effect of 90-day treatment with ticagrelor (180 mg [two 90 mg tablets] loading dose on Day 1 followed by 90 mg twice daily maintenance dose for the remainder of the study) vs acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-aspirin (300 mg [three 100 mg tablets] loading dose on Day 1 followed by 100 mg once daily maintenance dose for the remainder of the study) for the prevention of major vascular events (composite of stroke, myocardial infarction [MI], and death) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).
Hypothesis/Specific Aims: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of training with the Stride Management Assist (SMA) device vs. Impairment based physical therapy (IPT) on descending corticospinal drive to the lower limb muscles in patients post stroke. The investigators hypothesize that long-term SMA use would strengthen the connections between the motor areas of the brain and the lower limbs. Specifically, individuals in the SMA group will show higher corticospinal excitability of the lower limb muscles compared to those in the IPT group.
