Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

The goal of this clinical trials is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness for the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset or last seen normal. Subjects will undergo mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a clot in the brain which is preventing blood flow), with the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System. Participation in the trial is for 90 days.

The purpose of the study is to measure the outcomes of a standard care, an ultrasound guided mini-invasive percutaneous procedure, performed on recent stroke patients on reduces pain, increases function & quality of life The primary objective of the project is to reduce shoulder and/or knee pain in patients who have had a stroke so that they can more readily engage in rehabilitation. Secondary objectives are to reduce analgesic medications, increase independence and improve range of motion, to promote non-drug treatment measures in the medical toolkit, and to include an interdisciplinary care team in patient selection for interventions.

The Smart Ankle-Foot Orthosis (Smart AFO) system is an investigational system that combines a diagnostic ankle-foot orthosis with a mobile application to assist clinicians in optimizing an AFO user's gait by adjusting AFO stiffness and range of motion settings, and quantifying functional walking improvements in post-stroke individuals. The purpose of the clinical testing is to evaluate the Smart AFO system with its target users: post-stroke AFO users and orthotists. This may include, but is not limited to, identifying any aspects of the Smart AFO system that could be improved through clinical testing and evaluating the gait of post-stroke AFO users walking with an AFO adjusted using the Smart AFO system.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of early administration of tirofiban in patients treated with tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke.

After a stroke, people can experience memory problems, including difficulty remembering to do things in the future - termed "prospective memory". This can impact their ability to carry out important activities of daily living (e.g., taking medication), independence, and quality of life. Technology-based memory aids, including smartphone applications, can compensate for memory difficulties and are recommended as a 'practice standard' for improving prospective memory impairment following stroke. ApplTree is a smartphone application that was designed for people with memory and attention problems. Users can enter details of future tasks and events and ApplTree then prompts them to remind them to complete these at a pre-specified time. This study will investigate whether ApplTree helps people who have had a stroke and experience prospective memory difficulties to successfully complete prospective memory tasks. It will also explore whether they find ApplTree helpful and easy-to-use.

The objective of this study is to create a comprehensive, real-world, multi-center observational registry of consecutive patients admitted to hospitals with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO), who are treated with either endovascular therapy (EVT) or the best available medical management (BMM).

The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of receiving intravascular hypothermia treatment for patients experiencing endovascular treatment after acute ischemic stroke(AIS) due to a large vessel occlusion.

Primary research purpose: -Prospective study to screen post stroke patients with sarcopenia and evaluate its effect on recovery Secondary research purpose: To determine the degree of sarcopenia and correlation with poor functional prognosis of stroke in the stroke patient group. To determine the degree of sarcopenia and correlation with dixon MRI of thigh muscle To evaluate surface EMG (SEMG)-based signals and correlation with sarcopenia To determine the degree of sarcopenia and correlation with brain morphometric changes

ASPHALT is an academic-driven open-label randomized controlled trial of Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) deployment versus standard care in France, with blinded assessment of efficacy endpoints. 450 patients with confirmed acute ischemic stroke will be recruited over a 3-year period, with 3-month follow-up.

One of the most common complications in stroke patients is cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment affects a large part of the life of stroke patients. However, the relationship between cognitive impairment and fear of falling in stroke patients has not been investigated in any study yet. Various treatment approaches have been developed to improve cognitive function. While some of these approaches focus on improving cognitive function, others aim to reach the maximum functional level with various compensation methods taught to the patient in the current cognitive situation. As a result of cognitive interventions, stroke patients' participation in daily life, adherence to treatment and quality of life increase. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of cognitive interventions on motor performance, balance and fear of falling. This study will contribute to the literature by investigating these effects of cognitive rehabilitation.
