Filter by:Post-stroke walking abnormalities present significant rehabilitation challenges. Visual deprivation training has been shown to be more effective than open-eye training. The investigators intend to examine the changes in electroencephalography patterns in stroke patients during visually deprived walking tasks. The stroke participants will be fitted with a brain cap. The participants will walk with their eyes open for 60 seconds, and then their eyes will be blindfolded as they continue walking for another 60 seconds. Electroencephalography will monitor the signals in real-time during both walks.
The goal of this study is to observe the enhancement of trunk balance ability, pulmonary function, and diaphragm function in stroke patients after treatment of external diaphragm pacing（EDP）, and analyze the potential correlation between trunk balance ability and respiratory function metrics. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of EDP treatment on trunk balance and respiratory function in stroke patients? - Is there a correlation between trunk balance ability and respiratory function? Participants admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group： - The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy for 4 weeks. - The observation group received EDP treatment in addition to conventional rehabilitation therapy for 4 weeks.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are conducting a research study to see how combining brain, nerve, and hand stimulation affect hand movement after stroke. The primary purpose of this study is to examine changes in the connection between the brain and the weak hand muscles after the combined brain, nerve, and hand stimulation. The primary hypothesis is that the combined brain, nerve, and hand stimulation will increase the the connection between the brain and the weak hand muscles. The secondary purpose of this study is to examine changes in weak hand's movement and function after the combined brain, nerve, and hand stimulation. The secondary hypothesis is that the combined brain, nerve, and hand stimulation will increase weak hand movement and function.
Interventional study of the effects of vibro-tactile feedback on behavioral deficits and learning during motor training in patients with stroke.
Stroke is responsible for about 7% of disabilities in the European population. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents 15% of stroke cases in Europe. In order to avoid disabling sequelae, an essential role is played by early rehabilitation, which has also proved effective for ICH. In addition to its role in physical recovery, it plays a fundamental role in the psychological well-being of patients with ICH. Impairments in trunk function are a common sequela and are related to reduced mobility, balance and functional independence. Trunk exercises could improve trunk control, postural control, and functional recovery. The hypothesis is that a specific exercise program, based on core stability, will induce clinically significant and long-term improvements from the point of view of trunk control, and secondly in postural control, disability and quality of life in subjects with hemorrhagic stroke outcomes, versus general physiotherapy, and that these improvements will be maintained at least one year after the intervention.
The CLAAS® device will be evaluated for safety and efficacy by establishing its performance is non-inferior to the commercially available WATCHMAN® and Amulet™ left atrial appendage closure devices in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Patients who are eligible for the trial will be randomized to receive either the CLAAS device or the WATCHMAN or Amulet™ devices and will be followed for 5 years after device implant.
Delipid Extracorporeal Lipoprotein filter from Plasma (DELP) has been found to improve neurological function and life ability of AIS patients and approved for the treatment of AIS by China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). A recent study imply that the neuroprotective effect of DELP involved multiple neuroprotective mechanism such as anti-inflammation, free radical scavenging, and decreasing MMP-9. Based on the multiple mechanisms, the investigator argues that DELP may exert neuroprotective effect on acute cerebral hemorrhage (ACH). In this context, the prospective, random, open-label, blind-endpoint, multi-centre study is designed.
The researchers have developed games controlled by electromyographic (EMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) activity recorded by a sensor. These will provide biofeedback to participants post-stroke about the activity of their paretic muscles. The researchers anticipate that providing visual biofeedback will allow subjects to observe the level of co-activation in an agonist-antagonist muscle pair, and therefore initiate interventions to reduce their level of co-activation. Similarly, the researchers will provide additional haptic feedback using an assistive robot at the ankle joint (i.e., M1) and compare the results with the pure visual feedback condition. At the end, the main objective is to compare 1) conventional robotic continuous passive movement (CPM) training to 2) training with visual biofeedback and 3) training with both visual and haptic biofeedback.
The primary objective of the study is to confirm the efficacy of compound Edaravone Injection via intravenous infusion every 12 hours in the patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke(AIS) in a double-blind, active-controlled manner. The study is also to examine the safety of compound Edaravone Injection for the AIS patients.
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.
