NCT06757764
Currently, aspirin plus clopidogrel is considered as a standard acute treatment of ischemic stroke, based on results of CHANCE and POINT trial. However, still a considerable portion of patients showed early stroke recurrence, especially in those with stroke due to large artery atherosclerosis. Cilostazol may have benefit in reducing early stroke recurrence of neurologic deterioriation. The post-hoc analysis of CSPS.com showed that use of cilostazol after 15 days of stroke was effective for preventing subsequent stroke. The effect of adding cilostazol was more effective in those with large artery atherosclerosis and those receiving clopidogrel than aspirin.
NCT07140406
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of different needling strategies with moxibustion needles on upper limb function in post-stroke patients. Method: 105 patients with upper limb dysfunction after stroke were randomly divided into an extensor treatment group, a flexor treatment group, and a control group, with 35 patients in each group. Patients in the extensor treatment group were treated with extensor group moxibustion, patients in the flexor treatment group were treated with flexor group moxibustion, and patients in the control group were treated with conventional moxibustion. Observe the upper limb movement trajectory, surface electromyographic signals (sEMG) of extensor and flexor muscle groups, MAS scale scores, and FMA-UE scores of two groups of patients under specific tasks detected by a three-dimensional motion capture system before and after treatment, and determine the clinical efficacy. Result: Moxibustion therapy with moxibustion is helpful in improving upper limb dysfunction in stroke patients, safe and reliable, and worthy of application. The efficacy of needling the flexor muscle group with moxibustion is better than that of needling the extensor muscle group and conventional acupuncture, providing certain evidence and guidance for the selection of moxibustion sites in clinical practice.
NCT07121088
The objective of this observational study is to understand the long-term effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intervention on patients with cerebral infarction onset within \<48 hours and comorbid diabetes. The primary question it aims to address is: Can long-term TCM intervention for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease comorbid with diabetes improve patients' neurological deficits and self-care ability? Participants receiving TCM intervention (universal treatment combined with syndrome-specific treatment) as part of routine cerebrovascular disease management will undergo follow-up assessments at 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months within 1 year to evaluate neurological status (e.g., mRS score, NIHSS score) and quality of life indicators.
NCT03186456
The purposes of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of treating acute ischemic stroke patients with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC).
NCT06834750
1. To observe the inducing and promoting effect of kinesio taping technique on the recovery of upper limb function in early-stage stroke patients. 2. To compare the different effects of kinesio tape and sports white tape on the induction and promotion of limb function in patients. 3. To verify that kinesio taping technique is a safe and promotable technical means for stroke patients.
NCT06708065
This study investigates the effectiveness of combining Armeo Power robotic therapy with conventional rehabilitation techniques to improve upper limb motor function in patients with hemiplegia caused by supratentorial cerebral infarction (a type of stroke). The study aims to evaluate how robotic-assisted therapy can enhance recovery by measuring motor function improvements over three weeks of treatment. Participants will undergo standard physical and occupational therapy alongside Armeo Power training, with results compared to those receiving only standard rehabilitation. The findings aim to provide valuable insights into advanced therapeutic options for stroke rehabilitation.
NCT03741400
The Virtual Reality Glove for Hand and Arm Rehabilitation (vREHAB) trial is a randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial aiming to evaluate the safety, usability, and efficacy of a virtual reality biofeedback system (Neofect RAPAEL Smart Glove) to promote recovery of distal arm and hand function in the acute and subacute period after stroke, as compared to standard of care therapy. The aims of the study is to demonstrate: 1. the effect of Smart Glove use on functional recovery, in addition to standard of care rehabilitation therapy. 2. the feasibility of increasing the dose of rehabilitation in acute stroke patients with the Smart Glove. 3. the effect of Smart Glove use on quality of life.
NCT06486792
Patients who have recently had an ischemic stroke with no clear cause might have undetected atrial fibrillation (AF) that isn't caught during their initial hospital stay. After discharge, these patients are typically monitored for AF using devices like Holter monitors or implantable loop recorders. Treatment options during this period include anticoagulants or aspirin. Anticoagulants are more effective in preventing recurrent strokes if AF is present, offering an 80% risk reduction compared to aspirin's 20%. If AF is detected, anticoagulant treatment continues; if not, patients may switch to aspirin after 6-12 months. Despite the clinical rationale for using anticoagulants during this search period, their benefit-risk ratio compared to aspirin has not been fully evaluated.
NCT03281590
This is a single institutional registry database for the patients with stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Despite extensive research, most of the patients die or suffer from varying degree of post-stroke disabilities due to neurologic deficits. This registry aims to understand the disease and examine the disease dynamics in the local community.
NCT04973774
Branch atheromatous disease (BAD), is regarded as one of the important etiologies for acute isolated subcortical infarction, especially in Asian population. However, due to the fact that the existing imaging techniques cannot depict small vessel changes, the clinical diagnosis, therapy and research of BAD are facing challenges. We have started a multi-center prospective observational study of BAD in China, aiming at establishing a large-sample clinical-radiological cohort of BAD, analyzing predictors for functional outcome, and exploring the efficacy of tirofiban on BAD. A standardized Case Report Form (and eCRF on website) is used to collect baseline and follow-up information on epidemiological, clinical, radiological（MRI, SWI, MRA, HRMRI,3TVWI）and blood test. The primary outcome was mRS on 90 days with blind evaluation.
NCT03703986
This study set out to explore the risk factors of early neurological deterioration (END) occurred in patients with acute ischemic stroke and to investigate the corresponding predictors.
NCT02248233
Massive cerebral infarction is an ischemic stroke caused by complete blockage of the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, or their cortical branches. The widespread infarction, pathological severity and high fatality rate associated with massive cerebral infarction pose a major threat to affected patients. However, there is a lack of unified diagnostic criteria. Many researchers use Adams' classification, in which massive cerebral infarction is diagnosed when the following criteria are met: infarct size \> 13 cm2; a major brain-feeding artery is involved; the focal site affects more than two cerebral lobes; infarct diameter line ≥ 3 cm in internal capsule of striatum. Prolonged cerebral ischemia/reperfusion can induce complex secondary changes in brain tissue, so the use of neuroprotective agents is very important. Remarkable progress has been made over the last decade in understanding the protective effect of calcium antagonists against cerebral ischemia. In particular, the liposoluble dihydropyridine Ca2+ antagonist nimodipine selectively acts on cerebral vessels and neurons and can protect ischemic brain tissue, providing a new way of treating ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Preclinical and clinical tests have shown that nimodipine has a protective effect on ischemic brain tissue, and indicate that patients should take the drug as soon as possible. However, there are no reports of double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trials addressing the administration of nimodipine via intravenous drip within the time window for successful treatment of acute massive cerebral infarction.
