Filter by:The present study aims to determine the effect of the ten-session dual tDCS combine with physical therapy on gait performance, balance, and lower limbs muscle strength in patients with subacute stroke.
The proposed 2-phase project will first refine the TargetEd MAnageMent (TEAM) intervention to ensure acceptability across a broad range of Ugandans at risk for stroke and then test the effects of TEAM in reducing stroke risk in a 3-site, prospective, 6-month randomized controlled trial (RCT).
This clinical trial will evaluate two non-surgical devices designed to improve eye lid opening for patients with severe Blepharoptosis (incomplete opening of the eyelids).
To explore the safety and feasibility of intra-arterial neuroprotective strategy in acute ischemic stroke patients who missed recanalization operation.
Few treatments are available for post-stroke rehabilitation. The current study aims to develop a novel, short-term, high-dose repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) based intervention to improve post-stroke cognitive problems. This study will test the safety as well as changes in cognitive function and brain activation with the administration of an accelerated rTMS protocol in chronic stroke.
More than 12.000 patients suffer acute stroke in Norway every year, but less than half of them reach hospital within the current treatment window for thrombolysis. Stroke is the third-highest cause of death and the number one cause of severe disability requiring long time care at institutions. Consequently this has a high impact on society, patients and relatives, in addition to high costs related to care estimated to approximately 10 billion NOK per year. Although there are few studies on emergency medical communication centres (EMCC) in Norway, some have shown that the performance of the emergency medical communication centres can be improved. This project will seek to amend EMCC´s handling of acute stroke inquiries using artificial intelligence (AI), thus contributing to getting the patient to hospital in time for optimal treatments.
To test capacity of chronic cerebellar stroke patients and healthy individuals to learn and retain a complex bimanual motor skill, trained on the neurorehabilitation robot REAplan® (bimanual version).
The overall goal of this study is to minimize morbidity due to Atrial Fibrillation (AF). The specific objective is to develop and implement a rational and personalized approach to AF risk estimation that can inform management decisions with ischemic stroke. The investigators propose to develop a clinical AF risk estimation tool in the electronic health record and to test the effectiveness of implementing a clinical AF risk estimation tool into care for use by stroke neurologists during the care of acute ischemic stroke patients at Massachusetts General Hospital. The investigators will evaluate cardiac monitoring utilization calibrated to AF risk by stroke neurologists using a custom electronic health record (EHR) notification module. The investigators hypothesize that cardiac rhythm monitoring utilization will be positively correlated with the predicted risk of AF.
This cluster randomization study aims to compare the village-doctor led telemedicine integrated care versus usual care to improve compliance with the Atrial Fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway components and outcomes for older patients with atrial fibrillation in rural China.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and potential outcomes of a first version of a web-based intervention in occupational therapy focusing on empowering an active everyday life for people with stroke.
