Filter by: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.
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) experience physical and psychological discomfort, including pain. Anxiety is a condition frequently encountered in the ICU. The hospital environment, especially the ICU, is reported as a significant cause of anxiety for patients. Comfort is a holistic, subjective and multidimensional concept that is affected by physical, environmental, social and psycho-spiritual contexts and changes over time and space. Comfort in intensive care is often associated with pain relief and end-of-life care. Assessment tools have been developed to measure patient comfort in the ICU, including levels of pain, delirium, and sedation. This work; Patients who are monitored in intensive care under high-flow and oxygen are treated with a mixture of lavender, thyme and eucalyptus oil (20 ml; lavender oil 5 drops, thyme oil 4 drops, eucalyptus oil 3 drops and 20 ml almond oil) twice a day for three days. This study was conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage applied for a total of 30 minutes on some physiological parameters, pain, anxiety and intensive care comfort of the patients.
The goal of this observational study is to use a genetic test to help doctors prescribe the most effective medications after a patient has a stroke. One type of stroke is caused by a blood clot in brain vessels. After a patient has this kind of stroke, they are often given a combination of two blood thinners to prevent it from happening again. One of these blood thinners, called clopidogrel, is less effective in some people due to differences in their DNA. Clopidogrel needs to be activated by a specific enzyme in the body known as CYP2C19. This enzyme does not work as well if there are variations in the section of DNA that tells the body how to make CYP2C19. It can be predicted who has less CYP2C19 enzyme activity with a genetic test. If these patients are given a different blood thinner, it can reduce their risk of another stroke compared to if they are given clopidogrel. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - What are the best strategies to implement this genetic test in the hospital? - Does implementation of this genetic test change providers' decisions on which medication to prescribe after a participant has a stroke? Participants in this study will have a genetic test done onsite looking for variations in the section of DNA that tells the body how to make CYP2C19. This genetic test will only look for 11 known variations; the genome will not be sequenced. The investigators will alert the doctor of the patient's test results so they can prescribe the appropriate blood thinner. Through this, the investigators will learn the best practices for successful implementation of this genetic test.
This is a single-center, pilot study of up to 25 subjects with residual upper extremity deficits at least six months after an ischemic stroke. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the initial clinical safety, device functionality, and treatment effect of non-invasive electrical stimulation of the trigeminal and/or vagus nerves (nTVNS) using the NeuraStasis Stimulator System adjunctive to rehabilitation. Subjects will either receive the intervention or control-sham stimulation. The study will inform the design and implementation of a pivotal study.
The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) nested in a prospective cohort, is to investigate the superior effect of late-phase robot-assisted versus standard training on motor function, physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in a moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke population following subacute rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of the study is: Robot-assisted training has a superior effect on motor function (Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity Assessment; primary outcome), physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke-affected individuals in comparison to standard training.
A prospective, single-center study would be carried out in the Neurology Department of the University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González" in order to analyze the effect of cerebrolysin on the blood-brain-barrier in patients with ischemic stroke with personal history of type-2 diabetes
Objectives of Study:To explore the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet therapy in patients with non-cardiogenic cerebral infarction under the guidance of platelet aggregation function.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences on Psychological Condition and Experience in ischemic stroke patients using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the control group will use Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will compare Psychological Condition and Experience of two groups.
Acute ischemic stroke has a high incidence, ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion is serious and has a poor prognosis, and its triggers in the short term before onset are not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term risk of acute ischemic stroke caused by multiple triggers. In this trial, through a case-crossover study design, patients were asked about the exposure to each trigger in the previous year and the exposure during the preictal risk period (the exposure observed during the risk period) for each potential trigger of acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. To evaluate the relative risk of ischemic stroke resulting from exposure to triggers, comparing exposure during the dangerous period with the usual frequency of exposure. Relative risks and corresponding 95% CIs were estimated for past-year exposure and past-year mean exposure (assessed as chronic risk factors) and time to last exposure (assessed as triggers). Scientifically evaluate exposure to a range of potential triggers, including infection, mood, smoking, alcohol consumption, diarrhea and vomiting, extreme temperature changes, and several factors that increase blood pressure and their risk of developing acute ischemic stroke.
