Filter by:In our study, our aim is to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation added to traditional dysphagia therapy in stroke patients with dysphagia, on functional oral intake status, dysphagia-related symptoms, quality of life, and complications related to dysphagia.
The first aim of this study is if there is any difference between 4 or 8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training ( IMT ) exercises groups and control groups in stroke survivors. The secondary aims of this study is if there is any difference in walking capacity (in 8th, 12th, 24th weeks) and pulmonary complications (pneumonia incidences) in long term follow-ups (6 months) in these aforementioned groups
Retrospective study to assess the incidence of acute complications after thrombectomy for stoke.
This study investigated effects of the neurogenic bladder on the quality of life in stroke survivors. Patients were divided into two groups: the First group consisted of patients with neurogenic bladder and the Second group consisted of patients without neurogenic bladder.
This prospective observational study will be assessing whether it is practical and feasible to use a stroke screening tool (the modified NHISS, mNIHSS) in an adult surgical population. Perioperative stroke is an uncommon but devastating complication of surgery and previous research suggests that stroke symptoms may be missed in this population. This stroke screening tool has been used extensively in non-surgical patients but has not be used in non-cardiac surgical patients. Surgical patients have additional factors that may affect their ability to complete this assessment such as pain medications and sedatives, pain, and use of epidurals and nerve blocks. This study will involve a total of five testing sessions. The first will occur at the time of consent to screen for cognitive impairment via the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), as part of our exclusion criteria. Then over the course of four subsequent visits, participants will be assessed on the mNIHSS to track for any changes before and after their procedure, as well as evaluate the real-life usability of the mNIHSS as a potential tool to screen for stroke in the surgical population.
Background: Biofeedback-Surface electromyography (BIO-SEMG) is a relatively recent physiotherapy technique. Although its use is widespread in sports science and sports performance, its use for the rehabilitation of patients with neurological pathologies is less studied. Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the changes that occur in the application of BIO-SEMG in the muscles responsible for the extension and the dorsiflexion of the hand and the foot in subjects with cerebrovascular damage. Design: A randomized, double-blind, two-arm parallel group study was performed. Patients: A sample of 28 subjects with limited extension of the hand and dorsiflexion of the foot as a consequence of a stroke was randomized divided in intervention or control groups. Methods: The subjects of the intervention group underwent 12 sessions of BIO-SEMG, of 15-minute duration each of them, in the upper and lower members. On the other hand, the control group underwent another 12 sessions of 15-minute duration, in which manual physiotherapy techniques were performed.
This is a multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled, patient- and assessor-blinded, and parallel trial to explore the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) therapy, compared with sham EA, for poststroke shoulder pain.
This pilot protocol is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture therapy for the post-stroke patients with urinary incontinence.
