Filter by:The Stroke Recovery Initiative is a nation-wide participant recruitment registry that connects people who have had a stroke with researchers who are working to develop new approaches to improve recovery after stroke.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) of carotid artery plaque is a novel method that enabled direct visualization of neovessels in the vulnerable plaque. Plaque enhancement with CEUS showed correlation with the histologic density of neovessels within the carotid plaque and the previous cardiovascular events. Vulnerable plaques with a high risk of thromboembolic complications and rapid progression is associated with acute ischemic stroke. The prognostic value of vulnerable carotid artery plaque depicted with CEUS has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study is to define prognostic value of plaque enhancement on carotid CEUS in acute stroke patients. Research question is; in acute ischemic stroke patients with ipsilateral carotid plaque as probable etiology of stroke, is the presence of carotid plaque enhancement on CEUS independent predictor of future stroke.
Stroke is a leading causes of death and disability. At least 20% of strokes occur during sleep, so- called 'wake up stroke'. Thrombolysis with the clot-busting drug alteplase is effective for acute ischaemic stroke, provided that it is given within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Patients with wake-up stroke are currently ineligible for clot-busting therapy. Previous studies indicate that many wake-up strokes occur just before awakening. In this study, patients with wake-up stroke will be randomized to thrombolysis with tenecteplase and best standard treatment or to best standard treatment without thrombolysis. Tenecteplase has several potential advantages over alteplase, including very rapid action and that it can be given as a single injection. Prior to thrombolysis, a brain scan must be done to exclude bleeding or significant brain damage as a result from the stroke. We will use a CT scan to inform this decision. CT is used as a routine examination in all stroke patients. Other studies testing clot-busting treatment in wake-up stroke are using alteplase and more complex brain scans, which are not routinely available in the emergency situation in all hospitals.
This prospective, randomized, single-center clinical trial is designed to figure out the most optimal algorithm of remote ischemic conditioning on patients with chronic cerebral ischemia.
Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of JPI-289 in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
The Purpose of this open-label randomized controlled multicenter trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mono-drug therapy with oral anticoagulant compared to combination therapy with antiplatelet drug, in ischemic stroke patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and atherothrombosis.
To study safety and feasibility of mild therapeutic hypothermia after successful recanalization by mechanical endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke and proximal arterial occlusion.
This study evaluate the effects of acupuncture method on the recurrence of ischemic stroke patients.Half of participants will receive "Huo Xue San Feng" acupuncture combining 1 antihypertensive medication on the routine ischemic stroke treatments' basis. While the other half will receive 1 antihypertensive medication and basic treatments for ischemic stroke.
The investigators design a randomized, control study to evaluate the therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture using Jiao's motor area for motor dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients using the following outcomes: motor function, activity of daily living,quality of life.
The first purpose of this study is to find out the clinical benefit and risk of oral aspirin for unruptured intracranial aneurysm (small than 7mm) combined with cerebral ischemia in patients in the real world. The second purpose of this study is to get the prediction model of aneurysm's rupture in patients who has unruptured intracranial aneurysm (small than 7mm) combined with cerebral ischemia , and find out who is suitable for oral aspirin.
