Filter by:Biomedical and Engineering approaches form a key element to neurological rehabilitation of upper limbs. Brain Computer Interface (BCI) using Motor execution and Motor Imagery are known to aid motor recovery in stroke. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Noninvasive Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) based EEG based BCI using motor execution and Motor Imagery tasks can aid in rehabilitation of upper limb movements in chronic stroke. The project aims to explore an SMR-based BCI system that can exploit the sensorimotor rhythm voluntary modulation to play a virtual game as neurofeedback using motor executory tasks and imagined hand movements by stroke patients, who suffer from upper limb disability.
The TIME study is a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate impact on early measures of neurodevelopment and the safety profile of therapeutic hypothermia in term neonates with Mild Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy who are < 6 hours of age. Neurodevelopmental outcome will be assessed at 12-14 months of age. The study will enroll 68 neonates randomized to therapeutic hypothermia or normothermia across 5 centers in California.
This study will test the hypothesis that patients presenting within 8 hours of onset with cerebral ischemia in the setting of proximal large vessel occlusions (LVO) and low baseline NIHSS scores (0-5) will have better 90-day clinical outcomes (mRS distribution) with immediate mechanical thrombectomy (iMT) compared to initial medical management (iMM).
This study aims to determine the safety of HB-adMSC infusion and treatment effects of HB-adMSC infusion on brain structure, neurocognitive/functional outcomes, and neuroinflammation after subacute and chronic neurological injury in adults.
In the present prospective, multicentric, randomized, double-blind, parallel, saline-controlled phase II clinical study; the investigators plan to evaluate the efficacy of sovateltide (IRL-1620 or PMZ-1620) therapy along with standard supportive care in patients of acute ischemic stroke.
This was a prospective, multicentric, randomized, double blind, parallel, saline controlled Phase II clinical study to compare the safety and efficacy of PMZ-1620 (INN: Sovateltide) therapy along with standard supportive care in patients of acute ischemic stroke.
This is a multicenter observational clinical study in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of glycemic variability (GV) on stroke outcome (mortality, functional recovery) of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Glycemic variability will be assessed using a subcutaneous device for continuous glycaemia motorization during 96 hours; also capillar glycaemia will be measured every 6 hours.
Hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI) is the main cause of death in patients who are comatose after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Current guidelines recommend to target a mean arterial pressure (MAP) above 65 mmHg to achieve an adequate organ perfusion. Moreover, after cardiac arrest, cerebral autoregulation is dysregulated and cerebral blood flow (CBF) depends on the MAP. A higher blood pressure target could improve cerebral perfusion and HIBI. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive method to study CBF and its variations induced by MAP. The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of an early-goal directed hemodynamic management with TCD during the first 12 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
Thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are standard of care procedures to treat thoracic aortic aneurysm or severe aortic stenosis, respectively. Both procedures have a high risk of stroke and silent infarction. Gas has been detected in the cerebral vasculature during these procedures and associated with DWI positive lesions on MRI. The hypothesis is that air emboli contribute to stroke and silent infarction. The investigators propose addressing air emboli by flushing the device with carbon dioxide prior to flushing with saline. This is a pilot study comparing standard saline flush alone to carbon dioxide flushing with saline flush.
Hyperoxygenation for resuscitation of abnormal fetal heart rate tracings has been routine obstetric practice. However, there have not been any studies to support this practice. Recent literature have either found no associated benefit to intrapartum maternal oxygen administration, or in a number of studies demonstrated higher risk of neonatal complications. Despite these studies, the evidences have not been adequate to change the clinical practice because the majority of these studies either focused on biological differences rather than clinical outcomes data or were retrospective rather than randomized trials. Therefore, the investigators propose a large single center randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of maternal hyperoxygenation therapy for the treatment of fetal heart rate tracing abnormalities.
