Filter by:Post stroke headache occurs in approximately 10-23% of all stroke patients. Its onset is shortly after experiencing a stroke, or stroke like event, and persists for at least three months. These headaches have features which resemble migraine or occur in people who have a previous history of migraine that was once infrequent. Botox is a treatment that is currently approved for the treatment of chronic migraine, that is migraine headaches occurring for at least 15 days a month for at least 3 months. Given the clinical similarity in character and frequency of post stroke headache and migraine, and the fact that stroke affects structures like the blood vessels in the brain that are also affected in migraine, this study is to investigate the possible role that Botox would have in the treatment of Post-Stroke Headache.
Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) has developed an innovative strategy to enhance recovery of motor and sensory function after neurological injury termed targeted plasticity therapy (TPT). This technique uses brief pulses of vagus nerve stimulation to engage pro-plasticity neuromodulatory circuits during rehabilitation exercises. Preclinical findings demonstrate that VNS paired with rehabilitative training enhances recovery in multiple models of neurological injury, including stroke, spinal cord injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. Recovery is associated with neural plasticity in spared motor networks in the brain and spinal cord. Moreover, two initial studies and a recently completed Phase 3 clinical trial using a commercially available device demonstrates that paired VNS with rehabilitation is safe and improves motor recovery after stroke. The purpose of this study is to extend these findings and evaluate whether VNS delivered with the new device paired with rehabilitation represents a safe and feasible strategy to improve recovery of motor and sensory function in participants with stroke.
A prospective cohort minimal risk study to determine the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on outcomes of neurologically injured ICU patients.
Object: To determine the effect of cerebrolysin on prolonged disorders of consciousness caused by hemorrhagic stroke. Participants: patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness due to severe traumatic brain injury Intervention: 30 ml cerebrolysin + 70 ml normal saline, days 4-17, once/day, intravenously or 100 ml normal saline, days 4-17, once/day, IV Comparison: cerebrolysin group versus control group Outcome: Coma Recovery Scale-revised, FDG-PET signal
Fundoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCTA) are established examinations and bear minimal risks. The recognition of retinal microvascular signs will enhance the pathophysiological understanding of the vasculopathy in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and might serve as prognostic and diagnostic indicators.
There are over 7 million stroke survivors in the US alone, with approximately 795,000 new cases annually. Despite the best available physiotherapy, 30-60% of stroke survivors remain affected by difficulty walking, with foot weakness often being the main cause. Given that post-stroke gait impairments remain poorly addressed, new methods that can provide lasting improvements are necessary. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology may be one such novel approach. BCI technology enables "direct brain control" of external devices such as assistive devices and prostheses by translating brain waves into control signals. When BCI systems are integrated with functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems, they can be used to deliver a novel physical therapy to improve movement after stroke. BCI-FES systems are hypothesized to stimulate recovery after stroke beyond that of conventional physical therapy.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity recovery among community-living stroke survivors across Canada.
The objective of the study is to determine RNA blood biomarker based on 9 genes already identified in experimental studies, whose expression would be significantly increased in patient with ischemic stroke compared to controls.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Shengdi Dahuang Decoction in the treatment of acute hemorrhagic stroke by the randomized, controlled, double-blind, multi-center trial design project.
Severe strokes, including large artery acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, continue to be the leading cause of death and disability in adults in the U.S. Due to concerns for a poor long-term quality of life, withdrawal of mechanical ventilation and supportive medical care with transition to comfort care is the most common cause of death in severe strokes, but occurs at a highly variable rate. Decision aids (DAs) are shared decision-making tools which have been successfully implemented and validated for many other diseases to assist difficult decision making. The investigators have developed a pilot DA for goals-of-care decisions for surrogates of severe, critically ill stroke patients. This was developed through qualitative research using semi-structured interviews in surrogate decision makers of traumatic brain injury patients and physicians, and adapted to severe strokes. The investigators now propose to pilot-test a DA for surrogates of critically ill severe stroke patients in a feasibility trial.
