Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess inter- and intra-rater reliability of the 6MWT in people with acute stroke who require various levels of assistance with walking.
The study tests the efficacy of a non-invasive device with low intensity electromagnetic field dedicated treatment to enhance the recovery of stroke patients impaired hand motor function
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of a constraint intervention combined with visual-spatial cueing strategy in patients with acute stroke to improve their daily life activities.
The purpose of this academic lead study is to explore the ideal nutritional support strategy for patient with acute severe stroke.
Thrombectomy is now the standard of care of revascularization in acute ischaemic stroke. Data tend to show that final neurologic outcome is superior if the thrombectomy procedure was performed under conscious sedation. The Rothschild Foundation is a high output centre with more than 400 thrombectomy procedures every year. We report a rate of 5% of these procedures requiring general anesthesia despite conscious sedation being the standard of care. This study aims to identify clinical factors associated with a risk of conversion of a conscious sedation to a general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor commonly used for depression, enhances visual recovery after an acute ischemic stroke.
A. Specific Aims: 1. There is one specific aim of this study. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of early standardized task-specific training (ESTT) in persons with acute stroke. B. Hypothesis: 1. It is our hypothesis that subjects who receive ESTT will walk faster and more symmetrically than published reports of gait outcomes in persons with stroke.
In the acute phase of stroke, dysphagia (difficulty/inability to swallow) is a common problem that can have serious consequences such as aspiration pneumonia, increased lenght of hospitalisation, and death. It would be interesting to enhance the therapeutic effect of swallowing retraining by means on non-invasive brain stimulation such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Hypothesis: during the acute phase of stroke, applying tDCS over the brain during the revalidation and/or supervised feeding improves dysphagia significantly when compared to sham tDCS.
To evaluate the hypothesis that mechanical embolectomy with the Solitaire FR device is superior to medical management alone in achieving favorable outcome in the distribution of the modified Rankin Scale scores at 90 days in subjects presenting with acute large vessel ischemic stroke < 8 hours from symptom onset.
This investigation will address the safety and feasibility of distal, intra-arterial sampling through endovascular access, in acute stroke patients. Levels of Magnesium will be measured in the region of infarct in patients who had been treated with intravenous Magnesium therapy following an acute stroke. This study attempts to address whether the traditional intravenous means of neuroprotectant administration achieves adequate concentration of the therapeutic agent in the area of diseased tissue.
