Active clinical trials for "Stroke"

This is a pilot study and a randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded clinical trial for patients who will complete the inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Program in the Department of Medical and Geriatrics of Tai Po Hospital and Shatin Hospital from June 2018 to March 2019. The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of video-guided exercise program and standard paperbased home exercise program on adherence of exercise, self-efficacy and improving functional outcomes in patients with stroke within 3-month follow-up.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of a combined mirror therapy and task oriented/repetitive task training on upper extremity function of persons with hemiplegia due to cerebrovascular accident or stroke.

Among the sequelae of stroke, gait disorder is directly linked to the degree of autonomy in the daily life of patients. It is considered significant effects on their Quality of Life(QOL). Further methods of rehabilitation are required for convalescent patients to recover their function soon and better, due to a multitudes of recovery patient with troubles such as gait problem. This trial is studying to investigate the effects of gait training with a functional electrical stimulation (FES) 'WalkAide[R](WA)' to improve the lower-limb function and ambulation in convalescent stroke patients.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of alteplase when administered between 3 and 4.5 hours after onset of stroke symptoms in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke

This blinded end point RCT will recruit high risk TIA and mild stroke patients (through the emergency TIA clinics and the acute stroke services at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital) who require anti-hypertensive therapy to examine the clinical and cost effectiveness of self-monitoring and self management of Blood Pressure compared to self monitoring alone and treatment as usual.

This pilot study intends to evaluate an online exercise video rehabilitation program for stroke survivors with moderate disability compared to usual care. The intervention videos combine aerobic and resistance training using a latex resistance band, Thera band® elastic band, specifically designed for rehabilitation. This study will aim to show that for patients suffering acute ischemic stroke resulting in disability, at-home physical therapy with aerobic exercise videos will improve depression level and aerobic capacity more than usual care.

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tCES) is contemporarily important issues in the advanced rehabilitation medicine. tCES can selectively change the excitability of regional cortex with non-invansive and safety properties. Therefore, the investigators aim to develop a set of tCES system with special waveforms for using in clinical rehabilitation of upper extremities. This developed tCES system is smaller than all commercial available products, which could be conveniently and portably wore on head for clinical rehabilitation. In addition, the present tCES system with special waveforms developing by the investigators is much more efficient on improving neuroplasticity than the traditional transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in rats. The investigators hope the tCES system combined with the rehabilitation of body extremities will become a routine treatment for stroke patients at hospitals or residential rehabilitation in the future.

This is a randomized controlled behavioral intervention trial to assess the efficacy of investigating program of food preparation on diet improve patients with stroke.

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation training based on brain-computer interface in improving the upper motor function, self-care ability in daily life and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. This study adopts centralized uniform random 1:1 grouping, subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. Randomization schemes are generated by statistical professionals using SAS software.

This quasi experimental design study aims to examine the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a home hazard management program to reduce the rate of falls and fear of falling among Malaysian community dwelling stroke survivors. This study will be conducted in three local government hospitals in central Malaysia.
