Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhagic Stroke"

A double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized trial to evaluate the effect of preventative treatment of depression in survivors of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), a type of stroke.

The overall goal of this study is to increase health care provider awareness for common risk factors and comorbidities in patients with hemorrhagic stroke that are related to impaired brain health, to ultimately improve patients management and associated outcomes. The specific objective is to test the performance and effectiveness of a custom electronic health record (EHR)-based notification module at time of index hospitalization and at follow-up for hemorrhagic stroke survivors, before disparities in access to outpatient care may limit opportunities to intervene. The investigators hypothesize that notification of health care providers through the EHR will increase measurements of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and glycated hemoglogbin A1c (HbA1c) and increase evaluation and management rates for obstructive sleep apnea and hearing impairment.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of CVA-FLOW, a digital health AI based Telestroke system developed by CVAID Ltd. Company aims to assist certified medical staff to triage acute ischemic stroke patients using dedicated algorithms in order to support application for market approval for CVA-FLOW device.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of aerobic exercise and BDNF on patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke during a computerized cognitive training. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a moderate intensity aerobic exercise, prior to a cognitive training, allow a better performance? Is it possible to exploit the timing of rehabilitation interventions to obtain greater effects? Participants will be divided in 2 groups. The experimental group will first perform 20 minutes of pedaling as a moderate intensity aerobic exercise. It will then participate in one-hour cognitive training sessions, with the aim of training attentional, working memory and executive functions. The control group will carry out the same interventions but in reverse order. The researchers will compare the results of the cognitive training in the two groups to verify if the order of the interventions influences the results themselves.

A stroke is a vascular condition that can suddenly cause the loss of neurological functions. The disability derived from a stroke can imply reduced communication and limited activities of daily living in the long term. Thus, specifically walking rehabilitation is crucial in order to restore the lower limbs' function and to re-establish the social participation of patients. Robotics has been demonstrated in being a suitable and effective tool in order to assist and treat post-stroke patients, thanks to its capability to deliver intensive and task-oriented training. Specifically, the exosuits, are a sub-group of robotics devices designed in lighter materials that assist the patients by actively moving the hip, knee or ankle. Given this framework, the aim of this work is to conduct a pilot study on the usability and perceived effectiveness of a lower-limb exosuit, the Myosuit device, on post-stroke patients. The secondary aims of the study concern the evaluation of the functional performances of the patients both with and without the device and before and after the treatment.

The goal of this research project is to develop a tele-rehabilitation programme, which will constitute an original care pathway for brain damaged patients. It will aim to improve their impairments, activities and social participation. The programme will deliver a therapeutic education and self-education programme targeting the upper and lower limbs, and will assess the patients by means of a diary and self-evaluation questionnaires.

Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) has developed an innovative strategy to enhance recovery of motor and sensory function after neurological injury termed targeted plasticity therapy (TPT). This technique uses brief pulses of vagus nerve stimulation to engage pro-plasticity neuromodulatory circuits during rehabilitation exercises. Preclinical findings demonstrate that VNS paired with rehabilitative training enhances recovery in multiple models of neurological injury, including stroke, spinal cord injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. Recovery is associated with neural plasticity in spared motor networks in the brain and spinal cord. Moreover, two initial studies and a recently completed Phase 3 clinical trial using a commercially available device demonstrates that paired VNS with rehabilitation is safe and improves motor recovery after stroke. The purpose of this study is to extend these findings and evaluate whether VNS delivered with the new device paired with rehabilitation represents a safe and feasible strategy to improve recovery of motor and sensory function in participants with stroke.

Stroke is responsible for about 7% of disabilities in the European population. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents 15% of stroke cases in Europe. In order to avoid disabling sequelae, an essential role is played by early rehabilitation, which has also proved effective for ICH. In addition to its role in physical recovery, it plays a fundamental role in the psychological well-being of patients with ICH. Impairments in trunk function are a common sequela and are related to reduced mobility, balance and functional independence. Trunk exercises could improve trunk control, postural control, and functional recovery. The hypothesis is that a specific exercise program, based on core stability, will induce clinically significant and long-term improvements from the point of view of trunk control, and secondly in postural control, disability and quality of life in subjects with hemorrhagic stroke outcomes, versus general physiotherapy, and that these improvements will be maintained at least one year after the intervention.

Stroke can lead to weakness and spasticity in the arm or hand. The purpose of this study is to optimize the design of gentle vibratory stimulation delivered to the hands of individuals with chronic stroke, and explore the effect on range of movement and spasticity.

This study assess the relationship between lower limb spasticity and trunk movements during static and dynamic balance in post-stroke patients who also underwent conventional physical therapy, visual feedback balance training and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy intervention.
