Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

This is a single center, randomized, double-blind (patient and evaluator), sham-controlled study. The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance and safety of the MyoRegulator® device in active versus sham treated stroke patients with lower-limb spasticity after 5 consecutive days of treatment.

Rationale: Recently, two prospective multicenter RCT reported a potential beneficial effect of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with an acute symptomatic basilar artery occlusion (BAO). However, the high rate of crossover in BEST study and the long-term of recruitment in BASICS study influenced the validity of the results. Besides, a recently prospective clinical registry with large sample size (BASILAR) showed a significantly beneficial effect of EVT in BAO patients. Objective: To assess the effect of EVT in addition to best medical management (BMM) compared to BMM alone, in patients with BAO, caused by a CTA/MRA confirmed occlusion of the basilar artery on functional and safety outcome. Study design: This is a parallel group, randomized clinical trial of EVT with BMM versus BMM. The trial has observer blind assessment of the primary outcome and of neuro-imaging at baseline and follow up. Study population: Patients with acute ischemic stroke and a confirmed basilar artery occlusion by CTA/MRA. Main study parameters/outcomes: The primary effect parameter will be favourable outcome at day 90 defined as a modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 0-3. The estimate will be adjusted for the known prognostic variables age, pre-stroke mRS, time from onset to randomization, stroke severity (NIHSS) and collaterals and adjusted and unadjusted estimates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be reported.

Stroke is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality and the leading cause of disability in adults all around the world. Stroke survivors can suffer several neurological impairments and deficits which have an important impact on patient's quality of life and which increase the costs for health and social services. After stroke, impairments in ADLs and functional status, deterioration in health related quality of life can be seen. The purpose of this study is to Determine the effect of high intensity speed based treadmill training on Balance, Walking capacity and quality of life in sub-acute stroke.

Stroke has become the first cause of death and disability among Chinese adults. 70%-80% of patients cannot live independently due to disability, which has brought a heavy burden to families, medical institutions and society. How to better evaluate and improve post-stroke motor and cognitive dysfunction has always been a hot research topic. With the rapid development of brain-computer interface technology, rehabilitation assessment based on quantitative EEG analysis is gradually being applied in the medical field. So we designed a brain-computer interface based on hierarchical task induction-pedaling rehabilitation training system to investigate the effectiveness on the rehabilitation of stroke patients.

This study is to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) simulation-based individualized stimulation compared to conventional stimulation and sham stimulation.

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise on body weight-supported treadmill in stroke patients on gait parameters, activity, body functions and quality of life, and to determine whether it has an effect on balance when applied in addition to conventional therapy.

Stroke survivors may have a latent, propulsive capacity of the paretic leg, that can be elicited during short, intensive gait training interventions. The aim of this study was therefor to investigate the effect of a five-week gait training on paretic propulsion, propulsion symmetry, gait capacity, and daily-life mobility and physical activity in chronic stroke survivors.

This protocol will developed an assessment of the T-FLEX device controlled by Brain-Computer Interface in patients with Stroke.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect or ordinary and differential learning based physiotherapy for torso control, balance and gait on subjects with ischemic stroke in the second phase of rehabilitation

Stroke is one of the commonest causes of severe disability in adults. Stroke often results in spasticity and motor impairments in the upper limb. Permanent upper extremity impairments can lead to limitations in activities of daily living, social participation, and quality of life. Spasticity may obscure motor learning ability after stroke. Spasticity control is one of the main aims of most therapists in the rehabilitation process for patients with chronic stroke. Traditional approaches for managing spasticity may not be enough for gaining satisfactory results. Virtual reality-based therapy is one of the most innovative and developments in rehabilitation technology. It could be effective in accelerating motor recovery and modulating spasticity for the involved upper limbs. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of virtual reality-based therapy on upper limb spasticity and motor functions in patients post-stroke.
