Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

One source of shoulder pain can be myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). MTrPs are localized, hyperirritable points in the skeletal muscles that are associated with palpable nodules in muscle fibres. MTrPs can be classified into active and latent. Latent MTrPs demonstrate the same clinical characteristics as active MTrPs but they do not provoke spontaneous pain. Numerous studies have shown that MTrPs are prevalent in patients with chronic non-traumatic neck and shoulder pain.

The aim of this study is to describe the population of patients admitted to the ICU in neurosurgery for stroke requiring secondary care in intensive care and their future.

Observe and describe the relationships between impairments and function, systematically characterize recovery patterns and examine short and long term rehabilitation outcomes. This project is purely observational, descriptive and non-experimental. N=273

Stroke is the second most frequent causes of mortality in the word after cardiovascular disease and the most frequent cause of disability. The majority of strokes are ischemic (87%). Ischemic stroke may benefit from efficient therapy if the delay from stroke onset not exceeds 4H30 (intra-venous thrombolysis). In case of irreversible cerebral lesion, the long term functional recovery is largely dependent from the ability of the brain to reorganize. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging represents the most sensitive tool to diagnose stroke at the acute phase. However, up to now, no imaging tool is available to determine the time of stroke onset. Moreover, no imaging tool is available to precisely quantify the functional and structural plasticity mechanisms occurring after stroke. The main objective of the present study is to test the accuracy of sodium MRI to determine the time of stroke onset. The secondary objectives of the study are to determine the ability of non-conventional MRI techniques to quantify the degree of tissue damage and brain reorganization after stroke. Thirty patients will be included during the first 24 hours after stroke onset. Multimodal MRI (including perfusion MRI, sodium MRI, resting-state functional MRI, high resolution anatomical MRI) and clinical evaluation will be carried on at the inclusion, after 24 hours, at 3 months and at 12 months.

To determine the incidence and predictors of augmented renal clearance (ARC) in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Magnetic Resonance Imaging may predict the risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage for patients with ischemic stroke who receive indefinite oral anticoagulation

Gait analysis is commonly performed in clinical practice. However, it is complex and requires an understanding of the activation of muscles in lower limbs, trunk, and upper limbs in a specific spatiotemporal pattern and the appropriate joint positions which support and advance the body weight in different phases of gait cycles. In study, we plan to pilot the application of 3D gait analysis with statistical modelling in 2 common causes of gait deviation: unilateral hemiplegic stroke and unilateral lower limb amputation.

The aim of this study is to examine the functional recovery results of the Bobath (NDT) approach in patients with primary brain tumors and compare the results with those of stroke patients.

In subacute stroke patients, dynamic time series data of brain imaging and motor function measurement were obtained from 7 days to 6 months (total 9 times) after stroke onset

Observational Study to investigate the technical feasibility, implementation into current diagnostic and treatment pathways and the diagnostic accuracy of the remote patient assessment by using mobile telecommunication ahead of hospitalization.
