Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

Assess the ability of the Visor System to detect hemispheric bioimpedance asymmetry

The aim is to describe the rate of delayed stent thrombosis after endovascular management of consecutive tandem lesions, in a patient series with systematic follow-up of stent patency. In addition, Investigatros aim to research baseline patient characteristics that are associated with a higher risk of delayed stent thrombosis and to evaluate the clinical consequences of stent thrombosis

In stroke survivors, atrial fibrillation is typically detected with short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in the stroke unit. Prolonged continuous ECG monitoring is impractical and requires substantial resources while insertable cardiac monitors are invasive and costly. Chest and thumb-ECG could provide an alternative for atrial fibrillation detection post-stroke. The primary objective of our study is to assess the incidence of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation during 28 days of chest and thumb-ECG monitoring in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Secondary objectives are to assess Health-related Quality of Life using Short Form-36 and the feasibility of the Coala Heart Monitor in patients with stroke.

A prospective, multicenter, cohort study to explore the stroke mechanisms of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis, the dynamic changes under aggressive medical treatment and their associations with clinical events using conventional MRI sequences plus high-resolution magnetic resonance (HR-MRI).

In the rehabilitation of stroke patients, the emphasis is on the treatment of physical pathologies such as increased range of motion and muscle strength, reduction of spasticity and pain. All these treatments provide increased physical capacity of the patient. But these are not enough for perform the activity daily living. In order to be successful in activity daily living of the patient, performance based treatment methods should also be applied. The use of Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement (COPM), which measures patients' defined problem areas in daily practice should contribute to the patient-oriented approach process.

This study was planned to investigate the validity and reliability of the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire in patients with acute stroke. The objectives of the research are: To evaluate the validity of the Kinesthetic and Visual Imaginery Questionnaire in acute stroke patients aged 50-75 years To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the Kinesthetic and Visual Imaginery Questionnaire in acute stroke patients aged 50-75 years

This study aims to evaluate, in hemiparetic patients, changes in muscle ultrasound structure about the focal treatment of spasticity with botulinum toxin type A. For this purpose, the analysis of the mean echo intensity will be carried out on ultrasound acquisitions, identifying the possible correlations between the muscle echogenicity, the variations in the pennation angle, and the length of the fascicles. For image processing operations, ImageJ software was applied.

Title: Conduct of anaesthesia during acute ischaemic stroke: a retrospective case series of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. Design: This study will be a retrospective consecutive observational case series

The CT-DRAGON score can predict long-term functional outcome after acute stroke treated by thrombolysis. However, implementation in clinical practice is hampered by a lack of validation in the broad spectrum of stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy, whether or not in combination with thrombolysis or conservative treatment. Furthermore, the CT-DRAGON score considers multiple items, which are not always readily available in every setting. This study aims to investigate whether either a simplified version of the CT-DRAGON score with only three clinical items or a machine learning technique could be as powerful and more feasible.

Stem cell theray in old stroke patients is a study to treat stroke patients approved before in our hospital. We recruit these patients who received stem cell therapy and completed the study. We adopted movement-related cortical potential,and cortico-cortical inhibition to assess the stroke patients with or without stem cell therapy. Further analyzing the correlation of the motor related cortical potential and cortico-cortical inhibition among them. We wanted to find out if there are changes in cortical excitability in subjects with chronic stroke after stem cell therapy.
