Active clinical trials for "Ischemic Stroke"

The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of ozonated autohemotherapy in patients of post-ischemic stroke insomnia and to explore its mechanism of action.

The main purposes of this trial are to analyze the pharmacodynamic substances and the effects of Yiqihuayu Decotion for acute ischemic stroke. The trial is a non-randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Ischemic stroke has high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Stroke patients experience physical, psychological, and social problems, and require rehabilitation. The aim of stroke rehabilitation is to support patients in optimizing their physical, functional, mental, social, and occupational aspects. Telerehabilitation-based coaching interventions are among the individualized interventions applied to patients. This study aimed to examine the effects of telerehabilitation-based coaching interventions on self-efficacy, modifiable risk factors, and repeated hospitalizations in patients with ischemic stroke. It is predicted that discharge education in disease management and telerehabilitation-based coaching interventions will increase self-efficacy, reduce modifiable risk factors (blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride, HbA1c levels, body mass index, smoking, and alcohol use), and reduce repeated hospitalizations. With an education booklet prepared for ischemic stroke patients and primary care providers, one-on-one face-to-face education is planned while patients are in the clinic on the fourth or fifth day of stroke. Determination of individual goals with motivational interview, sending educational videos prepared in cooperation with the multidisciplinary health team to the phones or e-mails of the patients, providing telerehabilitation-based coaching a total of seven times for three months after discharge, monitoring the targets set weekly and monthly, and monthly follow-up after three months. It is planned to support patients with practices such as achieving their goals, maintaining healthy lifestyle changes such as diet and physical activity, and monitoring metabolic parameters. The evaluation form of the education booklet, videos prepared with the cooperation of the multidisciplinary team, and phone call evaluation form will be evaluated by 10 experts. The preliminary application will be tested with 6 patients, and the final form will be provided. The second phase of the study was designed as a single-center, single-blind (participant), randomized controlled study. The study will be carried out with a total of 60 patients with ischemic stroke, 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group, who continued to be followed up and treated at the Neurology Clinic of Akdeniz University Hospital.

By inducing endogenous neuroprotection, hypoxic post-conditioning following stroke may represent a harmless and efficient non-pharmacological innovative neuro-therapeutic modality aiming at inducing neuroplasticity and brain repair, as supported by many preclinical studies. The investigators thus hypothesize that hypoxic post-conditioning represents a safe therapeutic strategy post-stroke. The investigators further hypothesize that hypoxic conditioning could enhance neuroplasticity and function in combination with conventional rehabilitative care. The primary study endpoint will be safety. Safety will be assessed through the clinical review of the adverse events over the duration of the study, every 48 hours by a trained evaluator, blinded for the therapeutic intervention. The investigators will further investigate the potential functional benefits of such a therapeutic approach on motor function, gait, balance, and cognition. The neurophysiological substrates of hypoxic conditioning-triggered neuroplasticity at a subacute delay post-stroke will also be investigated, based on biological and imagery markers.

IMMUNOSTROKE study aims to describe the immuno-inflammatory and thrombo-inflammatory profiles during the course of AIC management by reperfusion treatment and to monitor changes in these different parameters over time. Post-hoc analyses will make it possible to correlate the immuno-inflammatory and thrombo-inflammatory profiles and their evolution with the clinical outcome in terms of post-AIC functional and cognitive disability.

The main purpose of this multicentric, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study is the validation of pulsed ELF-MF stimulation as non-invasive and safe tool to promote recovery in acute ischemic stroke patients. 124 patients with acute ischemic stroke will be recruited and randomly assigned to real or sham group. Patients will be stimulated with pulsed ELF-MF (75 Hz, 1,8 mT), for 120 min daily, for 5 consecutive days, starting within 48 hours from the onset of stroke. The primary outcome will consist of reduction of the expected infarct growth at MR measured in the subacute and chronic phase. Secondary outcomes will explore clinical effectiveness, safety and tolerability of pulsed ELF-MF in acute ischemic stroke.

This prospective non-interventional cohort study investigates the pathophysiology of Atrial Fibrillation Detected After Stroke or transient ischemic attack (AFDAS) by comparing the autonomic function and inflammation between patients with AFDAS, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosed before the ischemic event or known AF (KAF), and patients with normal sinus rhythm (NSR) after 14 day of cardiac monitoring following the event onset.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, and controlled clinical study to investigate the effects of DLBS1033 in conjunction with standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone in acute ischemic stroke patients.

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.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of MCI-186 (bolus followed by continuous infusion) in acute ischemic stroke patients through a double-blind, parallel-group comparison with the existing MCI-186 dosing regimen (administration twice daily for 14 days) as the control.
