Filter by:This Phase 1b multiple center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is a dose escalation trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK characteristics and efficacy of SY-007 after injection in acute ischemicstroke patients. The immunogenicity of SY-007 will be evaluated and this study will provide the recommended dosage for subsequent clinical trials.
The aim of this trial is to investigate whether endovascular treatment can improve the 90-day functional outcome of acute large vessel occlusion in the posterior circulation.
Application of Virtual Reality therapy and occupational therapy versus and standard physiotherapy and occupational therapy to patients with post-stroke sequelae, using specifical assessment tools, standard physiotherapy and occupational therapy programs.
The aim of this study is to validate the G-walk for several gait parameters, tested against a gold standard three dimensional camera system. This research will inform researchers and practitioners as to whether the G-Walk is a suitable and valid tool to easily assess walking ability in people with chronic stroke.
ENCHANTED2 is an international, multicenter, prospective, randomised, open, blinded end-point assessed (PROBE) trial, to assess different approaches to manage blood pressure (BP) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who have undergone mechanical thrombectomy (MT). There are two nested substudies evaluating different approaches to secondary prevention in this high-risk stroke population.
This study will evaluate the potential efficacy and safety of using virtual reality gaming in conjunction to standard therapy regimen care as an approach to promote upper-limb motor recovery, cognitive function and quality of life after stroke. The investigators believe that allowing users to interact with a computer-simulated reality environment will result in a pleasant experience, which will likely result in motivation and therapy engagement.
When a patient is received with the context of acute stroke, they undergo a fast neurological evaluation and obtain a basic appraisal composed of a non-contrast endovascular cerebral scan and an angiography scan of intracranial blood vessels and the neck. Once the structural lesion (hemorrhage, tumor, etc.) is absent, signs of early infracts and confirmed acute intracranial arterial occlusion, the possibility of a pseudo-stroke dwells in the differential diagnostic. Certain characteristics of history and clinical evaluation create sufficient doubt to evoke the possibility of a pseudo-stroke. In fact, this population is mostly female and the cardiovascular risk factors are less prevalent in this group than for the group of stroke victims. It is on average the youngest and presents a less severe deficit. For the rest, medical antecedents often help to evoke a diagnosis of pseudo-stroke.
Stroke and silent cerebral infarction are a real risk with thoracic enodvascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The investigator propose to prospectively observational study with enrolment of all patients undergoing TEVAR for thoracic and thoracoabdominal conditions including aneurysmal degeneration, Type B dissection and acute aortic syndromes over a 24 month period, equating to a minimum of 20-30 patients per year. Patients undergoing juxtra-renal and infra-renal aortic stenting will form a control group.
This study proposes to use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a technique by which a very small electrical current (2 mA) is applied to the scalp, along side speech therapy in patients with subacute stroke and aphasia in order to enhance language recovery. Aphasic patients in an inpatient neurorehabilitation facility who have experienced a stroke between one week and three months prior to enrollment will be invited to participate. Participants will receive either real or sham tDCS to the left hemisphere of the brain for a minimum of 5 consecutive sessions to up-to a max of 10 sessions depending on the length of their rehab stay . Stimulation will be paired with with the patient's normal speech therapy schedule. Participant's language skills will be assessed at baseline and immediately after the last session of therapy in order to determine whether tDCS is associated with either transient or persistent improvement in language.
Stroke can affect the physical, emotional and social aspects of the patient and their family members. It is the main cause of complex disability, with a high number of people living with its effects. Stroke can result in impairments in motor function, language, cognition, sensory processing, cognition, and emotional disturbances, which can affect the performance of functional activities and mental health status. Getting patients involved in art therapy (AT) class has shown to alleviate stress and promote a sense of wellbeing, which can aid their recovery and rehabilitation. The benefits of art therapy for people living with different health conditions worldwide have been reported, however, its effect on Egyptian patients with stroke has been neglected.
