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.
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.
This study aimed to investigate gastrocinemius function massage on physical parameters of stroke patients.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to assess the effectiveness and performance of Methinks AI stroke imaging software platform in acute Code Stroke patients, and as a comparator to study sites utilizing existing AI imaging stroke platforms. The main question[s] it aims to answer is: • Performance of and outcomes associated with the use of the Methinks AI stroke imaging medical device in real-world clinical practice.
Individuals surviving Chronic Ischemic Stroke have lingering walking deficits long after their infarct. The main goal of this study is to compare two high intensity treadmill walking programs to see which improves walking more. The main question we aim to answer is: How does blood flow restricted high-intensity treadmill training impact walking function? Participants will be randomly separated into two groups. One group will perform the high intensity treadmill training with blood flow restriction on their Stroke affected leg, while the second group performs high intensity treadmill training only. Every week participants will be asked to walk on the treadmill for a total of 75 minutes during 2x 1-hour sessions. On visit 1, participants will undergo strength, balance, and walking testing. They will then be treated 2x weekly for 4 weeks (visit 2-9) and be re-tested to track progress on visit 10. Participants will again be treated 2x weekly for 4 more weeks (visit 11-18) and be tested to see the end results on visit 19. Researchers will then compare both groups to see if blood flow restriction training changes walking function, strength, and balance.
The APPEND-CT registry is an investigator-driven multicenter retrospective observational database intended to compile cardiac CT follow-up data after Watchman FLX device implantation and function as a platform for answering clinical and research questions within LAAC follow-up. The derived studies should support therapeutic decision-making, improve risk-stratification in LAAC and help generate hypotheses for potential future clinical intervention trials.
Virtual reality-based aphasia rehabilitation has been shown to improve the language skills of individuals with aphasia in the chronic period after stroke. However, non-immersive or semi-immersive rehabilitation methods have often been adopted in the studies. Considering the importance of the visual given to the patient for naming, it can be thought that full immersive therapy may be more effective. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cue-based aphasia naming therapy in a fully immersive virtual reality environment on aphasia severity and aphasia-related quality of life and to compare it with standard cue treatments.
This multicenter prospective cohort study aims to compare the difference in the effects of medical treatment within 1 year between the two groups of ICAS patients divided hemodynamically by Magnetic Resonance Fractional Flow Reserve. PC MRA will be applied for FFR measurement. The primary outcome is the composite of ischemic stroke or death related to the qualifying artery territory for 1 year.
