Filter by:The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
Researchers aim to determine whether the ReTrieve system for tactile training can improve tactile function (sense of touch) in the hand after brain injury when used at home for 6 weeks.
Stroke is a major cause of disability, with 2-3% of Americans reporting stroke related impairments (Tsao 2022). Following stroke, over half of Medicare patients are discharged to post-acute care facilities or receive home-based health care (Tsao 2022). Inpatient rehabilitation guidelines are lacking, with many interventions based on research of patients with chronic stroke. There is great need for randomized clinical trials during the early subacute period (Bernhardt 2017, Jordan 2021). Clinical practice guidelines recommend high intensity gait training (HIGT) for ambulatory patients with chronic stroke (Hornby 2020). Outpatient HIGT protocols incorporating variable stepping demonstrate equivalent effectiveness to forward stepping protocols (Hornby 2019) and have yielded superior results to lower intensity therapies (Hornby 2019, Hornby 2016). Research suggests that HIGT with variable stepping is feasible during inpatient rehabilitation (Hornby 2015, Moore 2020). Pre-post studies suggest that participation in HIGT during inpatient rehabilitation yields greater improvements in walking without an increase in adverse events. (Moore 2020). Despite this, there are no randomized controlled trials evaluating HIGT in the inpatient setting. The subacute phase of stroke recovery may be a critical time for neuroplasticity (Dromerick 2021). Not only might rehabilitation interventions be more effective when initiated earlier (Biernaskie 2004, Dromerick 2021) but because inpatient rehabilitation represents the transition from hospital to home, interventions during this timeframe have the potential to improve discharge disposition, enhance quality of life, and reduce utilization of post-discharge services. In this randomized controlled study, investigators will determine how participation in HIGT during inpatient rehabilitation affects balance, ambulation, and quality of life after 14 and/or 21 days of inpatient rehabilitation, and 8 weeks post-discharge. Investigators will also determine if HIGT reduces health care burden with a cost-effectiveness analysis.
Stroke is a major health problem and can cause long-term disability. Among these sequelae, there are balance and mobility disorders, but also a higher rate of anxiety or depression disorders. This impairments impact activity of daily living, and social reintegration. That why the investigators need to explore options for long-term sustainable interventions that which takes into account the patient as a whole. In particular, regular physical activity is recommended, but it must be adaptable to the patient's impairments. Teaching yoga may be an interesting option. Indeed, yoga is a mind-body practice which become increasingly widespread in the world. Recent studies highlight positive effect of yoga for this population. However, accessibility to yoga classes can be limited by many factors: lack of transportation, lack of available health professionals, confinement requirements... Therefore, it seems relevant to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga delivered through tele-rehabilitation. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a tele-yoga program adapted to stroke survivors to improve their functional balance. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness of the adapted tele-yoga program in improving functional mobility, anxiety, depression and reintegration into normal life.
This study is a multi-center, multi-phase, multi-cohort, prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint (PROBE), non-significant risk (NSR) device study including up to 420 evaluable subjects measured with the study device(s) and up to 40 non-evaluable subjects for the training phase.
Large cerebral infarctions are frequent and associated with a poor outcome. Previous cohort studies results suggest that patients with an acute ischemic stroke with large core and substantial penumbra on perfusion imaging benefit from EVT while those with no salvageable ischemic tissue did not. The Investigator aim to demonstrate in a randomized controlled trials (RCT) that EVT (Endo Vascular Treatment) in addition to BMT (Best Medical Treatment) increases the rate of functional recovery (mRS 0-2) at 3 months in patients with a LVO-related AIS with a large core and substantial penumbra evolving for less than 24hrs
A prospective, multicenter, single-arm objective performance criteria trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of SINOMED ADPAT for Recanalization Therapy in acute large-vessel occlusive stroke.
The Life University Center for Chiropractic Research is conducting a research study to better understand how 12-weeks of chiropractic care differentially affects the post-rehabilitation brain electrical patterns and body movement patterns of individuals who have experienced hemorrhagic versus ischemic stroke The study will involve visits to the Life University Center for Chiropractic Research (CCR) in midtown Atlanta. During the 12 weeks of focused care, chiropractic visits could be several times a week depending on the care plan. In addition to the chiropractic care, individuals will receive a physical examination and three follow-up assessments. The assessments in the CCR will include a non-invasive evaluation of the brain wave patterns using electroencephalography (EEG), completion of a few surveys, a balance assessment and a movement assessment. Qualified individuals will receive study treatment and care at no cost.
Stroke and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) represent a major cause of long-term disability among survivors. Many psychological difficulties can also occur including: depression, anxiety, fatigue, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This has a marked impact on health service usage. Despite certain interventions being offered to support stroke survivors and individuals with brain injury, there is still an outstanding need to increase and improve psychological resources for this population. This research proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of a group therapy intervention, using a model called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for stroke survivors and adults with ABI. This ACT group aims to promote positive adjustment and improve wellbeing, whilst also aiming to reduce levels of distress. The research will comprise of two parts (one quantitative and the other qualitative).
Stroke has the characteristics of high morbidity, disability and fatality rate, which brings heavy spiritual and economic burdens to the family, society and the country. In my country, 33%-50% of ischemic strokes are attributed to intracranial atherosclerosis. Studies have shown that oxidative stress, increased blood viscosity, and damage to vascular endothelial cells are important mechanisms for the development of cerebral infarction. Salvia miltiorrhiza is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in traditional medicine in my country. Salvia miltiorrhiza polyphenolic acid is the effective ingredient of salvia miltiorrhiza. It is the water-soluble active part of salvia miltiorrhiza. It can resist oxidation, anticoagulation, antiplatelet, cell protection, and expand blood vessels, thereby achieving protection Cardiovascular system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects and adverse effects of salvianolic acid on acute ischemic stroke onset within 72 hours, and to evaluate the improvement of patients' ischemic area perfusion and clinical function scores.
