Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality (VR) as a treatment intervention to increase physical and cognitive function in stroke survivors.
This study is designed to compare the safety, performance and efficacy of blood clot (thrombus) removal in subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke with the NeVa versus the Solitaire stent retrievers.
To analyze the real situation of intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke in China
This study will measure Interleukin 6 (IL-6), a well-documented inflammatory biomarker that is increased in the acute phase of stroke, and to compare its levels after the administration of melatonin - a well-documented anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant - that regulates circadian rhythm, which helps promote sleep.
The investigators propose to conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial to test the effect of a systolic blood pressure target of less than 120 mmHg (intensive treatment) compared to a target of less than 140 mmHg (standard treatment) on the risk of total recurrent stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic) among patients with a recent ischemic stroke. The study findings will help in the development of clinical guidelines for blood pressure management among patients with ischemic stroke and will have an important global impact on reducing stroke-related morbidity and mortality.
Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is a devastating condition, affecting 1.6-5/100,000 children/year. Although their outcome is different, children with stroke do not recover better than adults, with at least 2/3 suffering long term sequels such as developmental (motor, global intellectual, language...) and behavioral disabilities, epilepsy, and low adaptative and academic skills... Stenotic cerebral arteriopathy is identified as AIS etiology in 60-80% of previously healthy children and the course of this arteriopathy is the strongest predictor of recurrent events. 30-40% of these children have a focal unilateral cerebral arteriopathy (FCA). Childhood FCA is suspected to be an inflammatory vessel wall pathology triggered by varicella and other (viral) infections. As recurrences occur for the great majority in the first 6 months after the index event, aspirin 5 mg/kg/day is recommended for at least 18 months to 2 years. As there is a rational for using immunomodulatory drugs at the acute stage of FCA, immunotherapies are currently used by neuropaediatricians in AIS, mainly as steroids for children with stenosing arteriopathies. However, due to weak evidences, the literature cannot either encourage or discourage this practice. The long term course of children with FCA is only approach to date by retrospective studies and controversies about outcome remain (for example, the recurrence risk on antithrombotic treatment varies notably from quasi zero to 25%). And finally, it is shown in childhood stroke, as well as in the global field of longstanding impairment, that parental and medical points of view do not match consistently. Longitudinal studies are needed to deserve this familial approach.
This is a Phase II, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study for subjects with evidence of PSCI.
This is a phase 1, blinded-outcome, randomized, placebo controlled study to investigate the safety and feasibility of super-selective intra-arterial administration of verapamil and citicoline immediately following successful endovascular thrombectomy as a potential neuroprotective synergistic therapeutic strategy in emergent large vessel occlusion stroke. This trial represents the first time that citicoline will be evaluated in human subjects as a superselectively administered neuroprotective agent administered in an acute time frame as an adjunct to intra-arterial thrombectomy. Furthermore, it will represent the first trial to evaluate combinational therapy for acute stroke neuroprotection.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Plasma Factor VIII Levels are related to the treatment of bleeding in ischemic stroke（IS）.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether reducing a patient's body temperature (mild hypothermia of 33 degrees Centigrade) will significantly reduce the risk of brain injury (notably reperfusion injury and hemorrhagic conversion) in patients who have suffered a significant interruption of blood flow to an area of brain (occlusion of large proximal cerebral artery) and have undergone successful removal of that interruption (revascularization).This will be achieved by comparing patients who have undergone hypothermia to those who have not.
