Filter by:The aim of DETECT is to prove the feasibility of a multicenter phase III trial testing the hypothesis that intensive blood pressure control immediately after successful endovascular stroke thrombectomy can improve patient outcomes. Patients with stroke who have ongoing high blood pressure after successful clot retrieval will be included. Participants will be randomly placed (like flipping a coin) in one of two groups. There will be a 50% chance of each patient being placed to either group. The first group will be allowed to have a higher blood pressure range that is consistent with current recommendations. The second group will be given medications to bring their blood pressure down into a normal range. These blood pressure targets will be maintained for 48 hours. We will collect patient brain images and levels of stroke disability up to 90 days after their clot retrieval.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a single dose of nerinetide can reduce global disability in people who have had a stroke and are selected for endovascular therapy without the use of a tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase, tenecteplase, or equivalent).
Prehospital providers encounter patients with suspected stroke frequently. Stroke and COVID-19 are related potentially putting these healthcare workers at risk of COVID-19 infection. In addition, prehospital providers need tools to help triage large vessel stroke patients to comprehensive stroke centers.
For the clinical benefit of intravenous thrombolysis "IVT" or intra-arterial thrombectomy "IAT" time is the most crucial factor. Reducing the time between stroke onset en treatment is therefore a major goal. Since IAT is only suitable for stroke due to large anterior vessel occlusion "LAVO" which is only performed in specialized comprehensive stroke centers "CSC", triage of LAVO-patients in the prehospital phase (i.e. in the ambulance) in order to directly allocate them to such a specialized CSC will save vital time (time=brain!). Several LAVO-prediction scales for clinical triage have been developed but most were tested in- hospital by experienced neurologists. Consequently, there is a great need for validation of these scales in the prehospital setting by Emergency Medical Services "EMS" personnel. Objective: to recalibrate, validate performance and assess feasibility of several existing LAVO-prediction scales in the prehospital phase (i.e. assessment by EMS personnel). Study design: multiregional, multicenter observational cohort study to investigate performance and feasibility of LAVO-prediction scales a. Study population: all patients potentially eligible for IVTIAT according to the protocol used by EMS personnel except for when younger than 18 years.
Consecutive patients with diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke and candidate of thrombolytic therapy during Jan 2017-Mar 2019 in BuAli Sina Hospital ,Sari, Iran, enrolled to this cohort study. The demographic data, stroke characteristis, lab data and ... recorded. Then patients evaluate every 3 month until 12 month for fallow up.
The study will look at the stickiness of a new skin adhesive incorporated into a new next generation geko™ device called the geko™ X-T3 and compare it to the adhesive currently used into the geko™ T3 device. The study is for people who are in hospital in the Acute Stroke Unit, and who will be receiving daily treatment with the geko™ T3 device in line with UK guidelines as part of their standard acute stroke care and venous thromboembolism prevention.
At CHUS Fleurimont, one in five patients hospitalized for this condition needs to be transferred to an intensive functional rehabilitation unit (URFI) located in another establishment of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de service sociaux de l'Estrie - Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS de Estrie-CHUS). Patients and their relatives must therefore adapt to a new environment and a new care team, which can cause additional concern and uncertainty for their new condition. Thus, the importance of educating the patient and their family so that they understand the nature of the stroke, as well as the elements and stages of rehabilitation that lie ahead, are essentials so that they can make an informed choice about acceptance and type of rehabilitation. However, to date, little material is available to facilitate communication between the professional and the patient and his/her family. In this perspective, our research team has developed a video which aims to improve the knowledge of people and loved ones on intensive functional rehabilitation (RFI) and its care settings. The objectives of this study are: 1. Evaluate the effect of viewing the video on post-stroke patients and their relatives on: - Perceived stress - Anxiety - Knowledge on intensive functional rehabilitation 2. Measure participants satisfaction regarding the video 3. Evaluate the association between socio-demographic outcomes (age, sex, degree of impairment, relation with the patient, NIHSS, MRS) and perceived stress, anxiety and knowledge regarding rehabilitation.
This study aims to investigate whether Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) improves rheo-erythrocrine dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke
