Filter by:The primary study objective is to assess the safety of afamelanotide while the secondary objective is to assess whether the therapy affects the size of the penumbra, by increasing blood flow, restoring oxygen supply to the brain, and reducing the amount of cerebral oedema (fluid) which is seen as a result of the stroke. Positive findings would indicate that the drug is able to support brain tissue-at-risk and provide overall neuroprotection and benefit to stroke patients.
Objective: To explore the effectiveness of raising serum nao granules in reducing the risk of bleeding in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis in the real world
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 4-meter walk test and 10-meter walk test is currently applied to assess gait speed.These tools are frequently used in clinical trials and were also shown to be reliable measurement methods. There are ocassions where it is not possible to have a long corridor to measure gait speed. It is necessary to have a tool to evaluate gait speed in a small space as 4-meter walk test.
In recent years, the positive results of trials for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have brought a new era for large artery occlusion patients, especially those beyond the time window of intravenous thrombolysis. However, interventional procedures can cause endothelial injuries leading to local activation of platelet aggregation and subsequent thromboembolic complications or early re-occlusion.Tirofiban is a specific antagonist of the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor, which is considered highly effective against the final common pathway of platelet aggregation and preventing vascular reocclusion. However, there is no consensus on if AIS patients treated with MT also benefit from intravenous tirofiban. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of profiles of tirofiban during MT and provide reliable clinical evidence for the treatment of tirofiban in AIS patients.
Ischemic stroke is a major public health issue, likely to cause functional disability. It is well known that sleep has an impact on brain plasticity, and after an ischemic stroke, studies have shown subjective sleep quality alterations and sleep architecture abnormalities. Furthermore, there is no clear guideline showing the usefulness of a systematic sleep investigation following an ischemic stroke. The aim of the study is to identify retrospectively correlation between polysomnographic abnormalities (sleep apnea, periodic limb movements, disturbed sleep architecture…) and functional recovery after an ischemic stroke. The study also assesses the impact of sleep abnormalities on survival, and the risk of new cardiovascular event.
The ideal blood pressure management strategy during endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke has not been defined. The aim of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to determine whether randomization to a standard versus individual blood pressure management strategy during the EVT procedure is feasible.
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the UK. There are few treatment options that improve long-term disability outcomes after stroke. Animal studies indicate that aerobic exercise training can improve brain repair and reduce disability after stroke. However, in clinical practice it is difficult for stroke survivors to undertake aerobic exercise due to lower-limb disability and a lack of accessible exercise equipment. This study will assess the feasibility of implementing a 5-day aerobic exercise training intervention, beginning in the acute phase of stroke (1-7 days post-stroke), using a power-assisted exercise bike. Feasibility outcome measures: recruitment rate (30 participants recruited within 18 months), completeness of data (>80% of planned measurements recorded) and the safety (<10 adverse events related to the intervention) and acceptability (>3/5 comfort scale) of the intervention. We will also investigate the acute effects of aerobic exercise on cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler ultrasound, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (serum and plasma).
This is a randomized, controlled, active comparator arm, outcome assessor blind, parallel group design on 90 patient with diagnosis of ischemic stroke admitted in Bou-Ali Sina Hospital, Sari,Iran.The aim of study is assess the efficacy of ticagrelor plus aspirin in reduce of minor non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or high risk TIA recurrence during first 3 months.
This is a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase Ib/IIa clinical study to assess the administration of ApTOLL together with endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients who are candidates to receive reperfusion therapies.
