Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

A randomized, double blind, multicenter, multinational, placebo controlled, parallel group, single dose, adaptive phase II/III study (respectively Part 1 and 2). The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of glenzocimab (1000 mg IV over 6 hrs including initial bolus of 15 minutes) on top of the best standard of care.

The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of digital interactive technology with artificial intelligence and biofeedback Smart glove "SensoRehab" for restoration of in-hand manipulation in patients with ischemic stroke in the early and late recovery periods.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common complication of stroke that leads to dysfunction and reduces the quality of life. PSD exacerbates cognitive dysfunction, delays the recovery process, and increases the disability, mortality and recurrence rates of stroke. Therefore, early clinical treatments for PSD are important to improve the prognosis and restore the social functions of stroke patients. Integrated rehabilitation has significant advantages in the treatment of PSD. First of all, there is a wide range of rehabilitation methods, such as acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which have been proved to be effective for PSD. However, as the application of integrated rehabilitation becomes more and more widespread, its shortcomings are gradually emerging. For example, most of the treatment protocols used in clinical studies are based on personal experience of the investigators, a unified protocol has not yet been formed; treatment methods are still insufficient in standardization and reproducibility. More studies focus solely on the improvement of a certain symptom by a certain rehabilitation therapy, but ignore the important theoretical basis of the "holistic concept", thus showing the uneven clinical efficacy. For the above existing problems, it is necessary to conduct original and innovative research.

Loss of arm function is a common and distressing consequence of stroke. Neurotechnology-aided rehabilitation could be a promising approach to accelerate the recovery of upper limb functional impairments. This multicentre randomized controlled trial is aimed at assessing the efficacy of robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation in subjects with sub-acute stroke following a stroke, compared to the traditional upper limb rehabilitation.

The purpose of this clinical pilot study is to evaluate the effects of the MR-010 on tolerability, biomechanics and walking speed in the acute stroke care setting in addition to its impact on length of stay.

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). Our 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, DELP was used to investigate the effect on acute ischemic stroke receiving endovascular treatment.

The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether intravenous rhTNK-tPA prior to endovascular treatment can improve 90-day functional outcome of stroke patients with large vessel occlusion who are thrombolysis-eligible within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) results from the rupture of small vessels damaged by chronic hypertension, amyloid angiopathy or other disease. Currently, ICH has been a devastating type of stroke that lacking effective therapy. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), a systematically protective strategy, has been found to have neuroprotective effects by in patients with ischemic stroke. In addition, animal studies show that RIC is safe in ICH model and it could accelerate the absorption of hematoma. In a previous clinical study (RICH-1), RIC have been found to be safe and well-tolerated in patients with ICH. Therefore, the investigators plan to undertake this study to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of RIC in patients with ICH. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with RIC will accelerate the absorption of hematoma and improve patients' functional outcomes. Results of this study can potentially bring into account new means to improve the outcomes of ICH patients.

Stroke is a medically relevant problem for the aging population. Individuals with stroke experience a high amount of arm functional deficits despite receiving rehabilitation. Functional deficits can be improved by combining rehabilitation with innovative rehabilitative tools that target the brain mechanisms that guide the recovery early after stroke. This study aims to explore the feasibility of implementing an EMG controlled device in the acute rehabilitation for stroke survivors with severe arm deficit. This study will determine if adding such a technology improve the clinical outcomes for subjects with severe arm impairments beyond the levels achieved by standard care in attempt to increase their chances to independently perform activities of daily living.

The traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation for the post-stroke cognitive impairment will be intervened, which can promote the recovery of post-stroke cognitive function patients, reduce the disability rate and improve the quality of life.
