Feasibility Study of Caregiver-Assist Strategy Training
The goal of this study is to examine the feasibility of delivering an innovative intervention, caregiver-assisted strategy training (CaST), targeting enhancing activity functions in community-dwelling adults after stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is CaST acceptable to stroke survivors with functional limitations? Does CaST show positive effects …
Brain STimulation for Arm Recovery After Stroke 2
Rationale: Every year, about 40,000 people in the Netherlands have a stroke. After the initial admission to the hospital, about 15% of stroke survivors is admitted to a rehabilitation center because of remaining disabilities. Three out of four of these patients have upper limb dysfunction, hampering activities of daily living. …
A Pilot Return-to-Work Cognitive Intervention After Stroke
This study addresses the growing burden of stroke in Singapore and highlights the lack of rehabilitation services for return to work after stroke. Despite functional physical recovery, many stroke survivors experience persistent impairments that hinder return-to-work. To bridge this gap, the study will implement a community-based brain health programme targeting …
Myofascial Dysfunction in Post Stroke Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is extremely common after stroke and occurs in 30-70% of patients. The pain may begin as early as one week after stroke, although peak onset and severity occurs around four months, and persists into the chronic stage. Chronic post stroke shoulder pain (PSSP) interferes with motor recovery, decreases …
Brazilian Adaptation of an Intervention Developed in Ireland to Promote Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Post-stroke: a Feasibility Study
Introduction: Low- and middle-income countries, such as Brazil, are most impacted by the high burden of recurrent stroke. These countries also lack structured interventions to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors in the context of stroke secondary prevention. In contrast, high-income countries, such as Ireland, which invest more in …
Investigating the Effects of Transcranial Stimulation to Advance Stroke Rehabilitation
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has the potential to boost rehabilitation after stroke by creating a 'pro-plastic' environment, where the brain is more adaptable in response to movement (motor) training. However, responses to classical NIBS protocols are highly variable. Movement-related changes in specific brain rhythms have previously been shown to be …
Focal Muscle Vibration and tDCS on Motor Recovery in Stroke
Although tDCS and FV have shown some benefit as stand-alone treatment, researcher suggest that combining intervention with complementary mechanism can lead to additive or synergistic benefits which might yield more significant improvement in functional outcome hence the author propose to plan the combination of FV with tDCS for motor recovery …
Addiction & Stroke
Modifiable stroke risk-factors, which include poor lifestyle habits, account for 90 % of the risk of stroke. Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) related to cerebrovascular disorders rely on three main factors, including the severity of stroke-related symptoms, the occurrence of stroke complications, and stroke recurrences. Stroke complications and the risk …
Wether VNS in Early Stage (3 Months) is Safe and More Beneficial for Post-stroke Motor Rehabilitation
Upper-extremity impairment after stroke remains a major therapeutic challenge and a target of neuromodulation treatment efforts. In previous study, Vagus nerve stimulation was constricted to patients 9 months after stroke. In this randomized phase I trial, we would apply vagus nerve stimulation in an early stage (<6 month) and observe …
Neurophysiological and Behavioral Effects of Combining Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Modified-Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT)
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of different types of tDCS modulation with mCIMT in improving affected upper-limb motor function for stroke patients. The main question it seeks to answer: Which type of tDCS (bi-hemispheric, anodal, or cathodal) combined with the mCIMT program leads to greater improvement in …
