Filter by:Pentoxifylline can improve cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke, possibly by improving the level of cerebral blood flow, affecting the content of blood oxygen and metabolic substances in the brain, and then playing a protective role in the transmission of nerve electrical signals, and ultimately improving cognitive function. The patients with cognitive impairment and non-dementia PSCIND after ischemic stroke were randomly divided into two groups. In addition to the basic drugs of ischemic stroke, the patients were given pentothemine sustained release tablets and blank control respectively to observe the effects of pentothemine on cognitive function and neuronal electrical signals in the patients with ischemic PSCIND. It is expected to explore the possible internal biological mechanism by using transcranial Doppler, oxygen-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging and craniocerebral magnetic resonance pop analysis. Finally, statistical correlation analysis was used to elucidate the specific mechanism of pentoxifylline in improving cognitive function of non-dementia patients with cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke.
Cerebral infarction is the second cause of death and the third cause of disability. More than 13.7 million patients worldwide are diagnosed with stroke every year, and the number of deaths is 5.5 million, of which ischemic stroke is the major type, accounting for 87%. Sequelae of stroke are problems that require long-term medical care. If we can intervene and assist with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at early stage, it will be a great boon for patients. In clinical practice, TCM collects data as the basis for diagnosis through the four diagnostic methods-look, listen, question, and feel the pulse. Among these, tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis belong to the categories of look and feel the pulse. At present, the objective examination instruments of TCM developed are mainly tongue diagnostic instruments and pulse diagnostic instruments. Therefore, we hope to utilize tongue and pulse diagnoses as the main reference to analyze the changes in ischemic stroke stages. The data of this study are collected from China Medical University Hospital and YuanRung Hospital-for further statistical analysis. Ischemic stroke patients (ICD-10: I63) who were hospitalized within 1 week from the date of diagnosis were eligible to join this research project. Tongue and pulse examinations were collected once per week within 1 month. A total of 4 tongue-pulse examinations were collected in each case, which were categorized into acute stage (24 hours to 1 week), subacute stage (1 to 3 weeks) and chronic stage (more than 3 weeks). [30] This research is to study the changes of tongue and pulse diagnoses in acute, subacute and chronic stages among ischemic patients who receive TCM diagnosis and treatment. Through utilizing objective evaluation of Chinese and Western medical examination instruments, we hope to establish clear diagnostic standards for TCM syndrome types, so as to evaluate the efficacy of clinical diagnosis and treatment. The goal is to improve the quality of TCM care and to provide Chinese and Western integrated treatment for stroke patients in the future. This research can also serve as a reference for related TCM research and development.
The main intention of the study is to understand the need and feasibility of transitional care training program among family caregivers of geriatric stroke survivors in Pakistan
The investigators evaluated whether the characteristics of ischemic stroke patients, door-to-needle time, and stroke risk factors were predictive variables for different subtypes of post-alteplase hemorrhagic transformation of brain infarction.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of early administration of BXOS110 for injection in reducing overall disability in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, exploratory Phase II clinical trial. The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of edaravone dexborneol sublingual tablets for post-stroke cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Participants will be required to receive 12 weeks treatment of edaravone dexborneol sublingual tablets or placebo during this study. The safety and efficacy endpoints will be compared in the patients with edaravone dexborneol sublingual tablets or placebo.
CATCHES is a novel intervention for preliminary testing, integrating Task Specific Therapy at home guided by Community Health Workers (CHW) under supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist (PT) guided by telehealth based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reduce task specific fears through repetitive exposure and adaptive behavioral activation strategies and facilitate engagement in physical activity. 1. To integrate and establish feasibility of CATCHES intervention. Hypothesis: A multidisciplinary team providing home based TST with exposure therapy tailored to an underserved urban setting will inform a patient-centered behavioral intervention to reduce fear of falling (FOF) among post-acute stroke patients returning home. Feasibility outcomes will include recruitment, retention, and fidelity of implementation. 2. Test effects of the intervention on hypothesized treatment mechanism of fear of falling. Hypothesis: Therapy will reduce task specific fear of falling Primary outcome will be change in Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale. 3. Explore physical activity measures subjectively and objectively. Exploratory outcomes include pre and post Timed Up and Go test, patient reported outcome surveys and activity as measured by wearable devices.
Phase III Clinical Trial of GD-11 for Injection in the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke - A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Clinical Study with the primary objective of evaluation of the efficacy and safety of GD-11 for injection in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients within 48 hours. The subject has a clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke, within 48 hours from stroke onset to start of study treatment, with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) between 6 and 20, had a total score of upper and lower limbs on motor deficits ≥ 2. The primary outcome is the proportion of subjects with mRS score ≤ 1 at 90 days after treatment.
The principal aims of the clinical investigation involve assessing the safety profile and MTD of human forebrain neural progenitor cells (hNPC01) administered at escalated doses via single-dose intracerebral injection to subjects with stable chronic ischemic stroke.
Sleep disturbance is one of the most common complaints of patients admitted to ICU. Insufficient sleep in intensive care units may be associated with environmental reasons such as excessive light at night, loud warning sounds and mechanical ventilation alarms, as well as non-environmental factors, including the situation at the time of admission. Sleep assessment is subjective in nature, so it is difficult to perform in the ICU. Since communication with the patient is prevented, clear information about perceived rest and disturbing factors cannot be provided. For this reason, night rest is an issue that is often forgotten and ignored. This study applied a mixture of lavender, medicinal chamomile and neroli oil (in 20 ml of sweet almond oil; lavender oil 2 drops, medicinal chamomile 4 drops, neroli oil 6 drops) to patients who were monitored in intensive care on high-flow and oxygen, once a day for three days. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage applied for a total of 30 minutes on sleep quality.
