Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Infarction"

The aim is to assess the effects and harms of Xueshuantong lyophilized powder versus placebo in patients with acute ischemic stroke when initiated within 72 hours of symptom onset.

In this trial, The investigators are going to investigate the improvement of neurological functions and infarced area of the brain in ischemic stroke patients after ingestion of omega 3 products that have high concentrations of DHA and EPA in comparison to control group. The study will assess the improvement by computerized calculation of the size of the infarcted area before and after the intervention and neurological assessment tools. The researchers will follow the scientific and ethical regulations prevent any harmful effect on recruited subjects.

The primary purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy of different doses of investigator product and comparator product in patients with acute ischemic stroke in 4.5 Hours after stroke onset, and provide a basis of drug administration for phase Ⅲ clinical trial. The secondary purpose of this trial is to compare the safety of different dose of investigational product and comparator product in patients with acute ischemic stroke in 4.5 hours afterstroke onset .

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-parallel-controlled multiplier designed to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shuxuening injection in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke for 10 days and continue follow-up to 90 days after the onset of the disease.

Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of JPI-289 in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

This clinical research is based on the fundamentals of using Chinese medicine, which will improve Qi and promote blood circulation, to treat patients in the recuperating stages of cerebral infarction with deficiency in Qi and blood stasis syndrome. By assimilating Chinese medical theory, this research aims to study the biological basics of the stroke and the cause for the deficiency in Qi and blood stasis syndrome; explore the therapeutic mechanism of the treatment methods; as well as ascertaining the relationship between Qi, blood and blood vessels.

Confirm central blood pressure reduction effect of Fimasartan, Valsartan and Atenolol and compare correlation with the measured peripheral (central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, and flow-mediated dilation) and cerebral blood flow factors (transcranial doppler findings, cerebral blood flow volume) in acute ischemic stroke patients with hypertension.

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in Europe and United States and the second leading cause of death worldwide and affects more than 10,000 Danes each year. Studies in a late and stationary phase after stroke have shown that physical rehabilitation is of great importance for survival and physical ability of these patients, however many studies show that patients lie or sit next to their bed under hospitalization for more than 88.5 % of the daily hours. Physical activity in stroke patients has never previously been measured immediately after debut of symptoms; furthermore there is no knowledge about the optimal dose of physical rehabilitation for these patients. Accelerometers, small measuring devices, are a relatively new way to measure physical activity precisely, and hence it is possible to obtain an objective measure of how active stroke patients are in the first week after admission. The accelerometers measure a variable voltage, depending on the range and intensity of movement. They can measure movement dependent of the placement of the accelerometer, for instance over the hip, arm or leg. Studies confirm their reliability, even in patients with abnormal gait, such as stroke patients. Another approach of studying the effects of physical activity and rehabilitation is through the examination of biomarkers. Studies have shown that biomarkers released during physical activity can inhibit biomarkers released after tissue injury in the brain, as seen after stroke. These brain biomarkers cause further damage and studies show that the higher the levels, the higher the damage. It is therefore obvious to examine whether physical activity rehabilitation can down regulate this destructive process in patients with stroke. Clarification of the optimal dose of physical activity in stroke patients immediately after debut of symptoms and examination of both the biochemical aspects of physical rehabilitation as well as the optimal dose of physical rehabilitation is of great importance for many patients, their relatives as well as of a great socioeconomic importance. The purpose of the project is to investigate which dose (15 vs. 2 x 30 minutes) of physical activity on a weight-bearing treadmill in the first 5 days after admission after an ischemic stroke, gives patients the best improvement in neurological dysfunction.

Clinical trial; Ischemic stroke; Bu-Yang-Huan-Wu Tang （BYHWT）; Gait parameter; Quality of life Stroke is the third of ten causing death disease constantly, and it also is third of consuming healthy insurance budget. There is 17,000 peoples disable due to stroke every year in Taiwan. Although ischemic stroke patient may use t-PA intravenously treatment within 3 hrs after stroke onset in modern medicine, and no others method may effect to treat ischemic stroke patients, thus, the study about stroke is an important issue. Bu-Yang- Huan-Wu Tang (BYHWT) has been became a main stream for the treatment of stroke after Qing dynasty Wang Qing-Ren theory that is BYHWT may treat stroke due to pattern of qi stagnation and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. A number of researches report that BYHWT can reduce blood viscosity, anti-inflammation, enhancing neuronal regeneration and angiogenesis, but above-mentioned about BYHWT limit in the level of animal study and the scientific evidence is insufficiency in human trial. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of BYHWT treating ischemic stroke by using a strict clinical trial. We designed a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the therapeutic effect of BYHWT treating ischemic stroke. The study expects to finish the assessment of 120 patients with ischemic stroke in three years. The study divided into: 1) control group, receive placebo-BYHWT 3.0 g TID every day for continuously 6 weeks except ordinary medical care; 2) treatment group, the method is identical control group, but receive BYHWY. The main outcome was according to the changes of gait parameter including Speed, Cadence, Strike length, Gait cycle and Double support; and secondary outcome including the changes of Functional independence measurement scores and Barthel index scores, Ten Meters Walk Test, Short Physical Performance Batter, Berg Balance Test and WHO quality of life-brief (Taiwan Brief). We predict the results of the present can provide scientific evidence to proof BYHWT can improve neurological deficit and also can improve quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke.

In order to reevaluate safety and efficacy of human urinary kallikrein in treating acute cerebral infarction ,a multi-center, open label , single group study was designed. Expect to enroll 60 sites and 2186 subjects. Subjects will receive kallikrein treatment according to real clinical practice (suggest above 14days treatment) and 90 days follow up
