Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Infarction"

Stroke is one of the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries. Stroke is broadly classified into ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is more common than hemorrhagic stroke. In Indonesia, the prevalence of ischemic stroke is 42.9% compare to hemorrhagic stroke 19.9%. Ischemic stroke defined as an episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal cerebral, spinal, or retinal infarction. One of the main therapy in ischemic stroke is administration of anti thrombotic agent. DLBS1033 is a bioactive protein fraction isolated from Lumbricus rubellus. DLBS1033 possessed quadruple activities that inhibit platelet aggregation, induces fibrinogenolysis, fibrinolysis, and thrombolysis. This is a new proposed medication nowadays. There is still a limited study about DLBS1033. To our knowledge, research concern on the usage of DLBS1033 in stroke patients is very limited in Indonesia. This study aimed to Measure the benefit of DLBS1033 as add on therapy for ischemic stroke patients. The hypothesis of this study : a. The use of DLBS1033 improve functional status of ischemic stroke patients at hospital discharge. b. The use of DLBS1033 improve functional status 30-days after stroke onset.

Russian prospective multicenter registry study of intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke.

This is a multi-center registry study. The investigators will include 10,000 patients with confirmed acute ischemic stroke in China. The aim of the study is to survey current treatment situation in China and compare the effectiveness and safety between different intervention regimens.

The investigators expect to find higher levels of both classical and minor antiphospholipid (APL) antibodies among the stroke cases. Furthermore, the investigators expect to find not only classical APLA but also minor antibodies. The investigators believe that minor antibodies have a major role in the hypercoagulability state.

The primary objective of this study is to compare effectiveness of five different neuroprotectants, including butylphthalide, edaravone, citicoline, cerebrolysin, and piracetam, among patients with acute ischemic stroke. The secondary objectives of the study are as follows: To compare safety of five different neuroprotectents, including butylphthalide, edaravone, citicoline, cerebrolysin, and piracetam, among patients with acute ischemic stroke. To compare cost-effectiveness of five different neuroprotectents, including butylphthalide, edaravone, citicoline, cerebrolysin, and piracetam, among patients with acute ischemic stroke.

To determine the revascularization rate, clinical efficacy and safety of the CE-marked MindFrame System in ischemic stroke patients

Patient Registration Study of Acute Ischemic Stroke/transient ischemic attack(TIA) With Atrial Fibrillation (AISWAF) is a single-center prospective, consecutively, observational study, was conducted in patients with acute ischemic stroke/TIA with atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to understand the stroke mechanism, the regularity of stroke recurrence and its influencing factors, to establish a risk stratification model for stroke recurrence, and to preliminarily explore the relationship between stroke mechanism, risk stratification and antithrombotic regimen in this population.

The main aim of the study is to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation and concurrent carotid atherosclerosis. Additionally, this study will investigate the effect of concurrent carotid atherosclerosis on the outcomes of recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction and death during follow-up

A pilot, prospective, comparative study. To include both male and female patients who have presented an ischaemic stroke (full stroke or TIA) or an ACS, 5 to 30 days prior to inclusion. The proposed study aims to investigate and analyse the differences in functional and structural arterial properties between the patients who presented an ischaemic stroke and those who presented ACS. The hypothesis is that the patients in both groups will present differences partly in terms of their "traditional" cardiovascular risk factors, but also in terms of their arterial properties. All of the confounding factors studied (cardiovascular risk factors, treatments) will be taken into account in order to explain the differences in the arterial properties found between the two groups. Furthermore, the prevalence of signs and symptoms in the two populations will be studied.

Medication adherence is a major factor to prevent vascular recurrence after a first ischemic stroke. Nevertheless, it is suboptimal and the implementation of specific interventions are needed to improve it. A patient - centered and pluriprofessional structured intervention, targeting the medication, introduced at hospital discharge and continued at home (by regular telephone contact) could improve medication adherence one year after stroke. This intervention would consist of semi structured interviews patient-pharmacist at different times during one year after stroke. The information about the therapeutic management of the patient will be shared between healthcare professionals : general practitioners (GP) and community pharmacists (CP), hospital clinical pharmacist (HCP) and physician (HPhys). It will allow for decrease of the recurrent stroke and others cardiovascular complications based on a better adherence to preventive medication. Furthermore the decrease of the iatrogenic events and the improvement of the quality of life of patients may be also associated.
