Filter by:The objective of the NEUTROSURGERY study is to describe the local and locoregional immuno-inflammatory activity in patients suffering from malignant sylvian ischaemic cerebral accident and treated with decompressive hemicraniectomy compared to a control population of patients to be operated on in neurosurgery for another neurosurgical pathology.
Change and effect of cerebral autoregulation during targeted temperature management in neurocritical patients
IMMUNOSTROKE study aims to describe the immuno-inflammatory and thrombo-inflammatory profiles during the course of AIC management by reperfusion treatment and to monitor changes in these different parameters over time. Post-hoc analyses will make it possible to correlate the immuno-inflammatory and thrombo-inflammatory profiles and their evolution with the clinical outcome in terms of post-AIC functional and cognitive disability.
Brain lesions in the adult have dramatic consequences, because the spontaneous capacity of the brain to functionally recover is limited. Besides existing rehabilitative therapeutic approaches (e.g. physiotherapy), several lines of research aim at developing treatments to promote and refine brain plasticity to enhance functional recovery following brain injury. This pilot clinical study aims at enrolling subjects victim of a stroke with neuronal destruction leading to a disabling motor deficit. Usually these patients benefit from intensive neurorehabilitation which allows them to progress up to a certain point but when their recovery plateau is reached; current medicine is disarmed and no effective treatment allows, to date, to improve further their performance. This monocentric pilot study aims at evaluating the feasibility and safety of Autologous Neural Cell Ecosystems (ANCE), which is a cortical autograft intended to be used on stroke patients, for the replacement of motor neurons destroyed during an ischemic stroke.
Magnesium has a neuroprotective role so the investigators aim to evaluate the role of intravenous magnesium sulphate in improving the clinical outcomes as assessed by the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
In this trial, The investigators are going to investigate the improvement of neurological functions and infarced area of the brain in ischemic stroke patients after ingestion of omega 3 products that have high concentrations of DHA and EPA in comparison to control group. The study will assess the improvement by computerized calculation of the size of the infarcted area before and after the intervention and neurological assessment tools. The researchers will follow the scientific and ethical regulations prevent any harmful effect on recruited subjects.
Stroke can be defined as an abrupt loss of brain function that is caused by decreased cerebral blood flow. Stroke can occur at all stages of life, but presentation is variable depending on age, involved artery, and underlying risk factors.
An extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) revascularization is the most widely used treatment to improve cerebral perfusion in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD), and it has been shown to reduce the risk of subsequent stroke and neurological deficit. However, perioperative changes in cerebral hemodynamics can induce fluctuations in cerebral perfusion that may lead to transient or irreversible neurological deficits. Our preliminary single-center study suggests that postoperative intravenous administration of dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) may alleviate perioperative neurological deficits and improve the neurological outcomes after EC-IC revascularization for MMD. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, single-controlled, add-on to standard of care study of NBP in patients with MMD of high risk for ischemic cerebrovascular events after EC-IC revascularization surgery.
Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet agent used to inhibit blood clots. Variation in response to clopidogrel has been reported among different population and may lead to reoccurring ischemic events. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the incidence of clopidogrel resistance in ischemic stroke patients from different ethnicities in Northern Israel and to find different strategies to overcome high platelet reactivity including clopidogrel dose adjustment or the choice of alternative agents. Quantification of platelet aggregation will be determined by vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) assay.
This is a non-blinded randomized study that will investigate whether the use of a novel, non-invasive perfusion enhancement system (The Guardian System) impacts motor recovery and hospital length of stay in acute ischemic stroke patients.
