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 …
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 …
Feasibility and Efficacy of HABIT for Enhancing Daily Hand-Use Post Stroke
This experimental design will assess the feasibility & initial effectiveness of HABIT - a novel occupational therapy to increase the daily hand-use of the affected upper extremity post stroke. Assessments will be conducted at four time points: baseline, pre, post the HABIT intervention and follow-up (by phone) .
Electroacupuncture and rTMS for Post-Stroke Motor Recovery
This study aims to evaluate the combined efficacy of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Electroacupuncture (EA) in improving motor function recovery post-stroke, compared to rTMS combined with sham EA. Participants will receive either active EA or sham EA alongside standard rTMS treatment. Outcomes will be assessed using standardized clinical …
Characterization and Clinical Trial of a Variable Friction Shoe
More than one million Americans present with foot drop after stroke. As the aging population grows in the United States and across the world, incidence of stroke will grow as age is a key risk factor, thus there will be a need for low-cost, easy-to-use, and scalable solutions to administer …
Passive Robots for Stroke Rehabilitation: A Feasibility Study
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel, multimodal approach that combines passive devices with noninvasive neuromuscular stimulation for upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke.
Cultural Modification of an Evidence Based Healthy Lifestyle Intervention for People Post Stroke Who Identify as Hispanic/Latino
The purpose of this trial is to examine weight loss for Hispanic/Latino people with stroke (CVA) who take part in a healthy lifestyle program that has been culturally modified for Hispanic/Latino people
