Radiosurgery Treatment for Spasticity Associated With Stroke, SCI & Cerebral Palsy
A scientific study is being done to test a special treatment for people who have spasticity or tight muscles. This treatment is called "stereotactic radiosurgery dorsal rhizotomy." It uses very accurate beams of radiation to target certain nerves in the back to help loosen up the muscles. In this study, …
Patient-tailored Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Improve Stroke Rehabilitation
In a double-blinded sham-controlled study the effect of patient-tailored transcranial direct current stimulation during rehabilitation training will be examined.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Dual-task Performance in Stroke
Stroke often impairs lower limb control, resulting in gait abnormalities and difficulties in dual-task performance, such as walking while engaging in cognitive activities. This study examines the effects of a single session of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on dual-task walking performance in …
Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Treating Post-stroke Dysphagia
The aim of the present project is to use transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (t-VNS) for the treatment of dysphagia in acute stroke patients to improve swallowing function and reduce mortality and disability related to this condition. 30 patients will be randomized into one of the two arms of the …
RAPID AFib Decision Aid for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the utility of a new electronic patient decision aid for stroke prevention therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the patient decision aid acceptable to both patients and physicians? Does the patient …
Tongue Brush (Orabrush) for Reducing Aspiration Pneumonia in Stroke Patients
The investigators conduct a controlled prospective experimental intervention study to examine whether the use of a tongue brush (Orabrush) can improve the rate of aspiration pneumonia and dysphagia in patients with ischemic stroke. Secondary outcomes include the impact on bacterial tongue colonization, the Tongue Coating Index, and the length of …
Movement Amplification Gait Training to Enhance Walking Balance Post-Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting approximately 795,000 people annually. The Veteran's Health Administration provides over 60,000 outpatient visits for stroke-related care annually at a cost of over $250 million. Among ambulatory people with chronic stroke (PwCS), impaired balance is a common health concern …
Emergency Stroke Unit for Acute Cerebrovascular Events ( ESU-ACE-B )
To compare the door-to-puncture time of patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke (between 4.5-6 hours after the onset of symptoms) treated in a standard stroke unit adherent to guidelines versus treated in Emergency Stroke Unit (a new stroke unit based on low-field magnetic resonance imaging).
Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients on DOAC
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have emerged as safe and efficacious ischemic stroke prophylaxis for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). All four DOACs - apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban - were associated with lower risks of major bleeding compared to warfarin. Listed as core essential medicines by the World Health Organization, DOAC prescriptions …
Robotic Rehabilitation Vs Occupational Therapy Chronic Stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation
The functional recovery of the upper limb represents a critical element in post-stroke rehabilitation; hemiplegic/hemiparetic patients who achieve optimal recovery are a minority, and incomplete recovery has relevant consequences both on functioning and on quality of life of those who survive a stroke. The project aims to assess the effects …
