Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

The researchers designed a software based on a head-mounted displays for virtual reality (HMD-VR) to evaluate the reaction time to stimuli presented at right or left visual field. The study will recruit 100 stroke patients with hemisphere lesions (50 patients for right and left each) and 100 age-matched healthy controls. The participants will conduct a simple reaction time task in VR, with stimuli designated in the left or right hemi-field. The stroke patients will also received traditional tests for hemi-neglect. Test-retest reliability of the assessment will be conducted in a subset of the control group. The stroke patients will be followed in 3-4 weeks.

This study is an investigator initiated placebo controlled double blinded trial. The hypothesis is that treatment with modafinil positively will affect behavioural and cognitive rehabilitation after stroke, causing the treatment group to experience decreased fatigue, increased endurance, improved skills of sustaining attention and faster reaction times. The cognitive rehabilitation will show in increased muscle mass, decreased osteoporosis and better physical performances due to a higher level of physical activity.

Telerehabilitation refers to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to provide rehabilitation services to people remotely in their homes or other environments. By using ICT, patient access to care can be improved and the reach of clinicians can extend beyond the physical walls of a traditional healthcare facility, thus expanding continuity of care to persons with disabling conditions. The concept of telecare, when telerehabilitation is used to deliver services to patients in their homes or other living environments, empowers and enables individuals to take control of the management of their medical needs and interventions by enabling personalized care, choice and personal control Research Goal and Objectives To investigate the clinical feasibility and usability of the Gertner Tele-Motion-Rehab system in post-stroke patients, in their homes. To evaluate Gertner Tele-Motion-Rehab system clinical improvement within the patient's home in terms of: function of the weak upper extremity performance of ADL

This study is a prospective, partly randomized, multi-center, Phase III, controlled trial, designed to show that the onset-to-puncture time (OPT) for good functional outcome (defined by modified Rankin Scale score at 3 months, 0-2) can be set depending on collateral status based on multiphase CT angiogram. The purpose of this study is to prove that (1) for patients with poor collaterals, there will no difference in good outcome rate between endovascular treatment and best medical treatment group if onset-to-puncture time is between 150 minutes and 600 minutes, and 2) for patients wih good collaterals, the rate of good outcome is equal to or greater than 42% (10% greater than historical control) if onset-to-puncture time is between 150 minutes and 600 minutes. Patients will initially be classified into 3 arms based on both collateral status on multiphase CT angiography and whether or not receiving endovascular thrombectomy: group 1, patients with good collaterals and receiving endovascular thrombectomy, 2) group 2a, patient with poor collaterals and receiving endovascular thrombectomy, and 3) group 2b, patients with poor collaterals and not receiving endovascular thrombectomy. Patients with good collaterals will receive endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) if onset-to-puncture time is between 150 minutes and 600 minutes after last seen well time. Of the patients with poor collaterals, they will be randomized into endovascular treatment and best medical treatment group, if onset-to-puncture time is between 150 minutes and 600 minutes, (onset-to-puncture time is not possible within 150 minutes but possible within 600 minutes after last seen well). Primary endpoint is the rate of good outcome at 3 months. The number of subjects needed with statistical power of 0.8 and alpha value of 0.025 is estimated 309 patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes of upper extremity training using the Armeo Spring system in a chronic post-stroke population with impaired upper extremity function.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether the combination of thrombolysis and hypothermia is superior to thrombolysis alone for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

To evaluate the hypothesis that an ultra-fast triage with one-stop in angiography suite based on cone-beam CT compared to traditional protocol offers a better outcome in the distribution of the modified Rankin Scale scores at 90 days in acute ischemic stroke patients with suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) within 6 hours from symptoms onset.

In this prospective cohort study, the investigators aim to investigate the incidence of ICM-detected AF in unselected ischemic stroke patients and its association with anticoagulation initiation and stroke recurrence.

The K-NET registry is a prospective, multicenter, observational registry study for all consecutive patients who received intravenous tPA therapy and/or endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke. This study is attended by 40 of the 58 Primary Stroke Centers in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is located in the Tokyo metropolitan area and has a population of 9.24 million. Patient enrollment for this study began in January 2018.

This is a randomized, crossover design trial that will compare how anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) versus sham tDCS administered during multiple sessions of scripting therapy affects the acquisition and retention of trained scripts.
