Aspirational Rehabilitation Coaching for Holistic Health (ARCH): A Pilot Pre-Post Experimental Study
The ARCH programme is a novel, strength-based, dyadic, multicomponent psychosocial intervention that blends together psychoeducation, psychosocial support and self-compassion practices to aid first-time stroke survivors and their family caregivers with their psycho-socio-emotional and spiritual challenges following discharge from in-patient care. A pre-post experimental design with a feasibility and acceptability assessment …
Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Stroke Rehabilitation Outcomes
This study is designed to explore the effects of a 4-week protocol of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) at 50% maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) on respiratory function, diaphragm thickness, balance control, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people after stroke. To ascertain the effect of IMT on the relationship between …
Standardized Goal-Directed vs. Self-Directed Valsalva Maneuver for the Assessment of Patent Foramen Ovale
Ischemic stroke represents a major public health issue, leading to significant disabilities and deaths worldwide. When no clear cause for stroke is found following a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation (no atrial fibrillation, cardiac masses, or atherosclerosis) i.e. cryptogenic stroke, it is recommended to search for a patent foramen ovale (PFO), especially …
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 …
Effect of Neural Constraints on Movement in Stroke
This study investigates the effects of Tizanidine on the voluntary movement controls of the arms of participants who have had a stroke and have not had a stroke by measuring medication-induced changes in upper extremity kinematics, pupillometry, and brain activity. Tizanidine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. …
Interaction Between the Brain Hemispheres - Key to Motor Recovery After Stroke
Rationale: Acute stroke leaves many patients with functional deficits, of which upper extremity motor impairment is one of the most disabling. Evidence from imaging and electrophysiological studies converge on the idea that impaired motor function after stroke is associated with disrupted network activity in the brain. Non-invasive brain stimulation methods, …
Aha BOOST Arm-hand BOOST Therapy to Enhance Recovery After Stroke: Clinical, Health Economic and Process Evaluation
The overall aim of this study is to establish the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of the arm-hand BOOST therapy when delivered on top of the usual care program in the sub-acute phase post stroke and to perform a process evaluation. In this phase III RCT, 80 patients with stroke will be …
R01.Aim 2.Study 1: IsoReach
To determine the effects of 3D isometric movement training in healthy participants and impaired participants due to a stroke.
Bilateral Robot-assisted Upper Extremity Rehabilitation on Motor Recovery in People With Subacute Stroke
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the clinical effects of a robotic rehabilitation treatment through a bilateral exoskeleton (Bilateral Robot-Assisted Therapy-BRAT) during standard rehabilitation, on motor recovery, compared to conventional arm re-education in people suffering from stroke in the subacute phase. The main question it aims to …
Dynamic Perturbation Training for Home-Based Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Chronic Stroke
Study procedures: After acquiring clinical-demographic, neurophysiological and clinical-functional data to describe the extent of upper limb impairment at baseline at the facilities of the Rehabilitation Medicine Unit (UMR) of the Ferrara University Hospital (Department of Neuroscience), patients will undergo a 10-day home rehabilitation programme (two consecutive weeks, five days a …
