Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

Prospective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with acute stroke of carotid artery bifurcation origin undergoing endovascular treatment using the Micronet-covered CGUARD Stent to seal the culprit lesion under proximal cerebral protection (by transient flow reversal using balloon catheter such as the MoMa or FlowGate) with thrombus retrieval achieved through active aspiration ± stentriever use. A study involving clinical and cerebrovascular imaging data evaluation in consecutive patients with acute stroke of carotid artery bifurcation origin, presenting in the time-window and/or cerebral tissue window allowing guideline-indicated reperfusion by interventional management. A registry of consecutive patients with the study condition. An open-label study, without randomization - a single arm, single-center study in John Paul II Hospital in Krakow, Poland.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a person-centered stroke prevention program implemented in primary healthcare. It is a primary prevention program aiming to reduce stroke risk and thereby prevent stroke through the enabling of lifestyle changes by introducing health beneficial engaging everyday activities promoting healthy activities and habits.

Further studies are needed to provide more detailed information on the potential effects of robotic gait training in general, as well as on the influence on gait movement patterns in particular. Patient perspectives and feedback contribute to the continuous development of exoskeletal technology. For these reasons, the main objective of this study is to decipher the relationship between EksoNR's robotic control settings and walking biomechanics in stroke patients and healthy subjects; the second objective is to discover the user experience during the use of EksoNR.

Edaravone dexborneol, comprised of 2 active ingredients, edaravone and (+)-borneol, has been developed as a novel neuroprotective agent with synergistic effects of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in animal models. The TASTE trial (Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke with Edaravone Dexborneol) administered edaravone dexborneol or edaravone alone to stroke patients within 48 hours after stroke onset, finding that 90-d functional outcome was better in edaravone dexborneol group. However, the TASTE trial excluded patients undergoing reperfusion therapy (i.e., intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy). Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of edaravone dexborneol in addition to mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of acute ischemic stoke.

Cognitive impairments such as memory impairments, word-finding difficulties, compromised orientation and perception are often observed in stroke patients. Low serum-mg-concentrations are associated with cognitive impairments in ischemic stroke patients one month after stroke onset. It is not clear, if cognitive impairments after stroke is caused by the mg-deficiency or by the stroke itself. Until now, no studies investigating the relationship between mg-concentration, stroke severity and cognition during treatment course are available. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between mg-concentration and cognition of stroke patients.

Support for physical activity is necessary to sustain health and reduce the risk of stroke recurrence after stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Still, rehabilitation services are not available to many of those who potentially would benefit from such services largely due to barriers related to accessibility. While telehealth is a promising strategy to support physical activity, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the implementation of technology that meet the needs of people post stroke or TIA in order to foster adherence and engagement in physical activity. This project therefore seeks to improve health and reduce the risk of recurrent stroke among people post stroke or TIA by increasing the access to physical activity through telehealth. The present project builds on experiences of telehealth-delivered physical activity in Australia where restricted access to health-care services is a longstanding problem. Collaborating researchers in Australia have developed a telehealth program (ENAbLE program) which has been designed and tested in collaboration with end users, through a series of feasibility and pilot studies. The ENAbLE program provides support for physical activity through physical exercises supervised by a physiotherapist and behavior change techniques for physical activity (i.e. individual counseling, information, recommendations, goal-setting, self-monitoring and structured follow-ups) across 6 months. The intervention is delivered to people post stroke or TIA in their own homes via video-meeting. This study, which is conducted in Sweden, aims to evaluate if the ENAbLE program supported by a new mobile application could be delivered as intended through a pilot randomized controlled trial in order to determine the feasibility and preliminary effects in people post stroke or TIA living in urban and rural regions of Sweden.

This multi-center, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TB006 in participants with an Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) event with 57 days of treatment.

The goal of this phase 2, before-and-after interventional study is to investigate the effect of colchicine treatment on serum biomarkers of inflammation in patients with a history of stroke and atherosclerosis. Participants meeting inclusion criteria will have blood samples drawn at baseline, will be dispensed colchicine 0.5mg daily for a treatment period of 30 days and have blood samples drawn again at follow-up. All blood samples will be analysed for a panel of inflammatory blood markers and the change in blood inflammatory markers from baseline to end of treatment will be calculated.

This is a functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) study designed to screen for risk of falls after diagnosis of stroke and initial intervention.

The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pBFS-guided cTBS combined with iTBS for the rehabilitation of language functions in patients with post-ischemic stroke aphasia.
