Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of PDE-3 inhibitor, cilostazol, in prevention and treatment of vascular dementia, in those with brain white matter lesions and vascular risk factors.
The hypothesis of this study is that chronic stroke survivors, more than one year post-stroke, with a motor problems in the lower extremity will be able to walk and move the affected leg better after 30 treatments with a new robotic therapy device, the AMES device. The device rotates the ankle while vibrators stimulate the tendons attached to muscles that move the ankle. Testing will be done before, during and after the treatments to determine response to the therapy.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac cause of ischemic stroke. Detecting atrial fibrillation after a stroke or TIA is critical because highly effective secondary stroke prevention therapy is available for individuals who are recognized to have atrial fibrillation. However, atrial fibrillation is likely under-diagnosed after stroke and TIA because atrial fibrillation is often difficult to detect as it is frequently paroxysmal and asymptomatic, and patients do not routinely undergo prolonged screening. The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic yield of a novel 30-day cardiac event monitor compared to a repeat 24-hour Holter monitor for detecting occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with a recent ischemic stroke or TIA of undetermined etiology after completion of a standard clinical stroke work-up (including an initial negative Holter monitor.)
Personality type as a predictor to develop depression and reduction in quality of life among stroke survivals.
After 4 weeks of training the hypothesis that the more natural training program would yield greater functional changes was proven correct.
Complex project of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western Medicine (WM) project under stroke unit mode contrast,assuming that the efficiency of TCM on early rehabilitation and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke is same or better than that of WM.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of constraint-induced aphasia therapy.
It should be shown that Cerebrolysin in combination with Alteplase, the medication that should recover the blood flow through the brain, is an effective and save medication to treat ischeamic stroke.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the effect of a modified constraint induced therapy to the treatment described originally by Taub et al.. This study will determine if LICITE will lead to similar improvements than the original described method.
Individuals taking warfarin often need frequent dose changes as the international normalized ratio (INR) gets too high or too low which could result in a higher risk of thromboembolism, bleeding and early discontinuation of a highly useful therapy. This study will compare two approaches to warfarin dosing to examine the utility of using genetic information for warfarin dosing.
