Efficacy of Trans-auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Upper Extremity Motor Recovery in Stroke Survivors
The aim of this clinical trial is to determine if trans-auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is effective in improving upper extremity function in stroke survivors. The primary objectives include: Investigating whether taVNS improves motor function in stroke survivors. The secondary objectives include: Assessing any potential side effects associated with the …
An Exploratory Study of a Wearable Robotic Hand Orthosis
Upper limb deficits usually remain in 75% of the stroke survivors despite completing full rehabilitation. This is due to lack of effectiveness of rehabilitation and the degree of support and resources available. In this study, the investigators plan to study the use of assistive technologies in chronic stroke survivors.
Telerehabilitation With Digital Technologies for the Continuum of Care of Stroke Patients
The goal of the pragmatic study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based telerehabilitation protocol for patients with post-stroke disabilities, compared to a home-based educational program. The main question it aims to answer is: Is home-based neuromotor and cognitive rehabilitation using digital tools more effective than a traditional educational …
A Space-expanding Shield in Decompressive Hemicraniectomy for Stroke
Instead of the standard decompressive hemicraniectomy with subsequent cranioplasty a single surgery with the implantation of an individually molded space-expanding shield is investigated in for patients with increased intracranial pressure due to a malignant stroke.
Cranial Nerve Neuromodulation to Improve Arm Function and Brain Plasticity in Stroke
Following a stroke, persistent residual muscle weakness in the upper limb (UL) drastically impacts the individuals' quality of life and level of independence. Training interventions are recommended to promote UL motor recovery, and recent studies have shown that training must be tailored to each individual's recovery potential to maximise training …
Art Therapy and Its Effect on Non-Motor Function Rehabilitation in the Subacute Phase of Stroke Recovery
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide, with the number of stroke patients steadily increasing due to the aging population. While traditional rehabilitation methods, such as pharmacological treatment, physical therapy, and cognitive therapy, can improve physical function to some extent, many stroke patients still face …
Comparative Study of the Effects of Dry Needling and Botulinum Toxin Type A as a Treatment for Lower Limb Post-stroke Spasticity
This is a randomized parallel group clinical trial which will be conducted in three countries (Spain, Canada and Belgium) comparing Botulinum Toxin type A (BTX-A) and Dry Needling (DN) effectiveness for post-stroke spasticity in participants who had a first stroke in the previous 12 months and have plantar flexor spasticity. …
A Caregiver-Assisted Rehabilitation With Strategy Training (CAR-ST) for Stroke Patients
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine if involving the caregivers in the strategy training (i.e. caregiver-assisted rehabilitation with strategy training, CAR-ST) works to improve activity functions in community-dwelling adults after stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does CAR-ST and strategy training alone lead …
Effects of Appropriate Technology for Home-based Rehabilitation in Patients With Post-stroke Physical Dysfunction
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of S-HRAT to improve patients' motor function and activities of daily living.
fNIRS-BCI Neurofeedback in Stroke Rehabilitation
Objectives: 1) To compare the effects of closed-loop brain-computer interface (BCI) driven observational imitation training versus sham BCI open-loop observational imitation training on improving upper limb motor functions in patients with stroke; 2) To investigate whether stroke patients receiving closed-loop training exhibit higher activation levels in the mirror neurons, measured …
