Filter by:PROACTIA is a prospective, event-driven observational study. It aims to propose a composite scoring system in order to evaluate the risk of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in patients after acute cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether acupuncture and taping are effective in the treatment of spastic upper limb after stroke.
This study evaluates the outcomes of stroke patients treated for intravascular thrombectomy, using either a local anesthetic with sedation, or a general anesthetic. Historical data will be used for those treated with the local anesthetic, and prospective data will be used for those treated with the general anesthetic.
The Addressing Real-world Anticoagulant Management Issues in Stroke (ARAMIS) registry is designed to provide important and timely insight into the management of acute stroke patients who are on novel oral anticoagulants in community practice.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a lifestyle modification telehealth program on health-related behaviours in community-dwelling individuals living with stroke.
It has proposed the use of ST without microbubble treatment in randomized association with both intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis, but combined treatment (rtPA + U.S.) associated with MB diagnostic not yet been investigated in a randomized study. The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy of the combined treatment (r-rtPA+US+MB) vs the standard rtPA treatment in a randomized study in consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke. We expect to demonstrate that the combined treatment (rtPA+US+MB) will be statistically superior to standard treatment in terms of recanalization rate.
The overall goal of this study is to conduct a three-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) in stroke survivors with depression to determine if a brief psychosocial-behavioral therapy intervention delivered in-person (arm A) or by telephone (arm B) is better than usual care (arm C), in terms of percent reduction in depressive symptoms and % of participants achieving remission of symptoms.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gait training on ground level with partial body weight support (BWS)in individuals with stroke during overground walking with no BWS.
The AMES device is designed to produce functional cortical changes by:(1) assisting the subject as he/she attempts to move the limb (assisted movement) and (2) enhancing movement sensation by vibrating the muscles during movement (enhanced sensation). The primary hypothesis is that the combination of assisted movement and enhanced sensation from muscle vibration can increase the amount of motor recovery in individuals disabled by a stroke.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used to improve speech in chronic stroke patients with aphasia. Aphasia patients can have problems with speech production. The rTMS procedure allows painless, noninvasive stimulation of human cortex from outside the head. Chronic aphasia patients have been observed in our functional magnetic resonance brain imaging studies to have excess brain activation in brain areas possibly related to language on the right side of the brain (opposite side to where the stroke took place). It is expected that suppression of activity in the directly targeted brain region will have an overall modulating effect on the neural network for naming (and propositional speech) and will result in behavioral improvement.
