Italian Translation and Transcultural Validation of Frenchay Activity Index and Walking Handicap...
Stroke SequelaeThis study is aimed at providing an Italian version of two assessment tools for participation in stroke patients, the Frenchay Activity Index (FAI) and the Walking Handicap Classification (WHC) by a standardized translation and transcultural validation protocol. The protocol includes a pre-test of the Italian version on ten patients, a final revision, and a validation on a sample of 60 stroke patients.
Trial of pRehospital Intervention With trAditional Chinese Medicine for Acute strokE
StrokeAcute Ischemic Stroke1 moreThe main purpose of this trial is to observe whether Xingnaojing, intravenously administered within 24 hours of symptom onset on pre-hospital emergency ambulance, improves the Early neurological deterioration of acute stroke at 3 days.
The Establishment and Analysis of the Clinical Prediction Model of Acupuncture and Moxibustion for...
StrokeElectronic health records of stroke convalescent patients will be selected from the third affiliated hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2012 to December 2019. Relevant clinical data will be extracted according to case data, and model-based decision tree analysis will be conducted to establish and evaluate the clinical prediction Model.
Poststroke Depression of Clinical Trial Registration
StrokeDepressionThe investigators aim to explore the relationship between gut microbiota composition and earlier poststroke depression via 16S rRNA sequencing.
Rural CT Examination and Thrombolytic Treatment for Stroke
StrokeTo counteract long term sequelae from stroke, ultrarapid diagnosis and treatment, high quality multidiciplinary in-hospital care and optimal long term rehabilitation is required. In this study, the investigators are moving the essential first diagnosis and treatment out into the community close to where the patient live, thus shortening the all important time from debut of symptoms to thrombolytic treatment improving the prognosis of stroke patients.
Correlation Between Ultrasonography Finding and Shoulder Range of Motion in Stroke Patients
Cerebral StrokeFrozen ShoulderLimitation of range of motion in the shoulder joints is common in stroke patients. The causes are stiffness, CRPS, and frozen shoulder. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between frozen shoulder and shoulder LOM in patients with cerebral infarction using ultrasonography.
COVID-19 Stroke Apical Lung Examination Study
Covid19Stroke4 moreMulti-centre prospective study evaluating computed tomography angiography studies performed for stroke patients as a diagnostic and prognostic imaging biomarker.
Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Between 2004 and 2020
Atrial Fibrillation; Stroke PreventionPrevention of thromboembolic complications is an important part in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). European and American guidelines recommend the use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) over therapy with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in most AF patients. The number of patients treated with NOACs has increased significantly during the last few years. In the primary randomized controlled trials leading to their approval, compared to warfarin, NOACs were shown to be either noninferior or superior for stroke prevention in AF, with similar or reduced rates of bleeding, especially intracranial haemorrhage. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of oral anticoagulants using, espescially apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban, and the predictors of their prescription in a group of hospitalised patients with AF.
A Study on the Status of Nutritional Risk Screening and Nutritional Therapy in Neurology Hospitalized...
Acute StrokeStroke is the leading cause of premature death and disability, and early recognition and treatment of dysphagia is fundamental to stroke management. Early and full tube feeding in the acute phase of stroke helps to address nutritional problems resulting from dysphagia and impaired consciousness and helps to reduce morbidity and mortality and poor outcomes. Current guidelines for acute stroke management do not address the goal of tube feeding of enteral nutrition for energy and protein. In the treatment of acute stroke, there is a strong global focus on pharmacological thrombolysis or mechanical thrombolysis, with nutritional interventions being a less explored topic. Real-world evidence on large samples, feeding attainment and outcomes, and nutrition in the acute phase of stroke is lacking in China . The aim of this study was to understand the current status of nutritional therapy in stroke hospitalization in neurology and its impact on prognosis nationwide, and to improve the standardized management process of enteral nutrition therapy in the acute phase of stroke.
Non-disabling Ischemic Cerebrovascular Event With Apathy
ApathyMinor Stroke2 moreThe burden of non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events (NICE) is significantly increased. However, few previous studies have focused on affective impairment after transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke. Stroke survivors are often described as apathetic. Even though post-stroke apathy (PSA) affects one in three stroke patients,it has not hitherto received much attention. NICE-A is a prospective study aimed to explore the association between baseline apathy and probable incident stroke in a population-based sample of TIA and minor stroke adults.
