Filter by:The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy using the ANA funnel catheter to treat people with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset. The device facilitates the placement of other devices such as stent retrievers and intravascular catheters during the procedure.
Telerehabilitation is an effective rehabilitation method that allows patients to receive physiotherapy remotely in their homes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of home-based remote group training for balance and mobility on activities and body functions.
The acute vertebrobasilar occlusion associated with the poor prognosis, particularly tandem occlusion. However, few data on the efficacy of the endovascular therapy was indicated in this occlusion. The investigators reported whether the additional rescue extracranial stenting improved clinical outcome by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score within 3 months after the procedure
This observational study was designed for observe the cerebral hemodynamics and dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. And analysis the relationship between the dCA damage degree and hemorrhage transformation (HT) and clinical outcome. Patients: patients with AIS caused by middle cerebral artery or internal carotid artery occlusion who accepted EVT. dCA Examination: dCA examinations were performed at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 5 days after EVT. The objectives of the study were as follows: The changes of cerebral hemodynamics and parameters of dCA in different time periods after EVT were analyzed. So as to determine the correlation between hemodynamics and dCA change and HT and clinical outcome after EVT and to explore the predictors of HT and adverse clinical outcomes.
The efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone in acute ischemic stroke patients with large infarct cores (ASPECTS score < 6) due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion have not been clearly established. This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to investigate early combination therapy with methylprednisolone for reperfusion in acute large core infarction.
Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever large-vessel ischemic stroke patients treated with clopidogrel assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.
Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever minor stroke or TIA patients treated with clopidogrel and aspirin assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.
Several clinical trials have produced variable conclusions regarding the effects of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering in post-EVT acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients. Although two trials indicate harm from very intensive target-based treatment (SBP <130 mmHg), the others neutral effects in the SBP range 140-160 mmHg. The ENCHANTED3/MT domain of the ACT-GLOBAL platform trial aims to test different approaches to the treatment of elevated SBP in post-EVT AIS patients to find an optimal BP management strategy. ENCHANTED3/MT will randomize (1:1:1) up to 2,000 patients with SBP ≥150 mmHg post-EVT to conservative (no or minimal SBP reduction by 5-10mmHg or a target of 175-180mmHg if very-high baseline SBP [≥180mmHg]), moderate (SBP reduction by 10-20mmHg or a target of 160 ± 5, whichever is higher; no control if low-high baseline SBP [150-160mmHg]), or intensive (SBP reduction by 30-50mmHg or a target of 140±5 mmHg, whichever is higher) BP management.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how visual orientation discrimination and metacognition (i.e., perceptual confidence) are affected by occipital stroke that causes hemianopia and quadrantanopia in adults. This research will provide insight as to how the residual visual system, which not directly damaged by the occipital stroke, processes orientation (assayed in terms of orientation discrimination) and metacognition (by measuring perceptual confidence for orientation discrimination). These measures will be used to refine computational models that attempt to explain how the brain copes with loss of primary visual cortex (V1) as a result of stroke. This knowledge is essential to devise more effective visual rehabilitation therapies for patients suffering from occipital strokes.
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.
