Filter by:A randomized positived-controlled study of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) vs Ginaton in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) was conducted between7/2013 and 4/2014. The study was designed to test efficacy of DGMI for IS. Post hoc analysis of this trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of DGMI in elderly (agedā„65 years) IS patients.
This is a retrospective, multi-center, real-world study. The researchers plan to include 10,000 cases of ischemic stroke patients using butylphthalide and 10,000 cases of ischemic stroke patients using Edaravone. The main purpose is to analyze the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide and establish the drug risk assessment management plan.
This is a prospective, open, single-arm, the real world of clinical trials. The researchers plan to recruit 300 eligible patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide in the treatment of ischemic stroke, and to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of butylphthalide in elderly patients to explore its blood drug concentration. Correlation with its efficacy and adverse reactions.
This is a multi-intervention randomized controlled trial that aimed to develop a management pattern for stroke survivors. The program consists of monitoring the recovery process, early detecting the physical and mental disorders, suitably intervening for each patient to improve their quality of life. New intervention techniques will be firstly applied for post-stroke patients in Vietnam such as using the portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) device to explore cortex frontal hemodynamic and motivational interviewing for psychological adjustment. A total of registered 92 stroke patients in Vietnam National Geriatrics Hospital will be included in the study for 6 months. Included patients will be randomized to an intervention group and received the long-term follow-up program or to a control group receiving standard care. The mental health and physical functioning of participants will be assessed at 0, 1, 3, and 6 months follow-up. This work was funded by Vingroup Joint Stock Company and supported by the Domestic Master/Ph.D. Scholarship Programme of Vingroup Innovation Foundation (VINIF), Vingroup Big Data Institute (VINBIGDATA).
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a 4-week lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity function to a 4-week attention-controlled education program on lower extremity clinical outcomes, quality of life, and healthcare resources utilization among community dwelling adults with stroke across Canada.
Silent brain infarctions (SBIs) are a manifestation of covert cerebrovascular disease, without obvious clinical deficit, noted very often in patients presenting with a new stroke or new transient ischemic attack. SBIs are linked to a significant increase in risk for subsequent stroke and cognitive decline. However, no biomarker is currently available that can predict the recurrence of these subclinical lesions. Coated-platelets are a measure of platelet procoagulant potential significantly increased in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack compared to unaffected controls. Higher coated-platelet levels are strongly associated with both the presence and number of SBIs. Among medications approved for preventing stroke recurrence, we identified clopidogrel as a pharmacological agent leading to a decrease in coated-platelet levels. In this project, we plan to evaluate if clopidogrel can decrease the rate of occurrence of new silent brain infarctions. The result will enhance the investigators understanding of the relationship between platelets and silent brain infarcts, leading to improved health care delivery and also potential targets for novel preventive pharmacological interventions.
This is the largest study to evaluate incidence and distribution of silent cerebral infarction (SBI) following endovascular repair for disease of the aortic arch. Also, it is the first cohort to include total endovascular arch repair and devices flushed with carbon dioxide (CO2) to prevent gaseous cerebral embolization.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Urinary Kallikrein has an additional effect on enhancing collateral circulation in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic patients under clopidogrel and aspirin dual antiplatelet therapy.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the first cause of physical disability and dementia worldwide. Ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO) is responsible for the vast majority of deaths and disabilities. A very effective and safe treatment, called mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is available for LVO patients. Nevertheless, no blood biomarkers able to identify LVO patients rapidly and to direct them to CT angiography and thrombectomy currently exist. The TIME study is an observational prospective cohort study. All Patients referred to the emergency department or stroke unit with a suspected stroke as identified by paramedics, nurses or clinicians will be enrolled in the study. A panel of blood biomarkers will be analysed retrospectively via standard laboratory assays. The main outcome of the TIME study will be the evaluation of the clinical diagnostic performance of a panel of blood biomarkers, in conjunction with clinical data, for the identification of large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke subtype. This study will allow the identification and evaluation of a final panel of biomarkers and will prompt the development of a test for LVO stroke diagnosis.
The aim of this study is to compare time delay and safety parameters of stroke patients initially admitted to a rural primary stroke center (PSC) who receive endovascular treatment (EVT) by a Flying Intervention Team with patients who receive EVT after secondary transfer to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC).
