NCT07475598
This prospective single-blind randomized controlled trial enrolled 43 hemiplegic patients hospitalized in the neurological rehabilitation unit of the University of Health Sciences Ankara Etlik City Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to a virtual reality (VR) group (n = 23), which received routine physical therapy combined with VR-based balance training, or a conventional therapy (CT) group (n = 20), which received routine physical therapy alone. Interventions were delivered under physiotherapist supervision over 20 sessions, with the VR group receiving an additional 12 sessions of VR-based balance exercises. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, immediately post-treatment, and at an eight-week follow-up, including measures of balance, mobility, functional independence, walking capacity, quality of life, and static balance using the Tecnobody PK252 isokinetic balance measurement system.
NCT07371455
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial featuring both single ascending dose (SAD), food effect and multiple ascending dose (MAD) phases intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and active metabolites of LWP779 after oral administration in healthy participants.
NCT03619772
Evaluation of a new EMG controlled game to improve hand function in chronic stroke survivors.
NCT03992404
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single treatment with administration of 400 Units NT 201 (botulinum toxin) is superior to placebo (no medicine) for the treatment of lower limb spasticity caused by stroke or traumatic brain injury (Main Period). Participants will be assigned to the treatment groups by chance and neither the participants nor the research staff who interact with them will know the allocation. The following 4 to 5 treatment cycles will investigate the safety and tolerability of treatment with NT 201 (botulinum toxin) when administered in doses between 400 and 800 Units (Open Label Extension Period). All participants will receive the treatment and the dose will depend on whether only lower limb spasticity or combined upper and lower limb spasticity are treated.
NCT05093673
The optimal site of neuromodulation for post-stroke aphasia has yet to be established. This study will investigate whether multiple sessions of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) boosts language therapy in helping people recover from aphasia as well as predict who is likely to respond to cerebellar tDCS.
NCT06258538
This study proposes a novel stroke rehabilitation approach for upper extremity training by firstly combining different types of distal robot-assisted and task-oriented therapy in a circuit training program. The program could enhance UE functions, improving daily function, decrease caregiver burden and lower medical expenses associated with long-term care. Professionals can use these findings to promote the application of clinically empirical research and better understand the effects and mechanisms of circuit training.
NCT07253181
This study will address the efficacy and safety of Tenecteplase administered in non-endovascular capable center (nECC) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (acLVO) who present in the 4.5- to 24-hour time window before interhospital transfer to an endovascular capable center (ECC) for endovascular treatment (EVT). * Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tenecteplase administration at a nECC before EVT transfer compared with standard of care * Secondary objective: To evaluate the impact of time from needle-to-arterial puncture on clinical outcomes Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be randomized to Tenecteplase (0.25mg/kg, maximum 25mg) before transfer or standard of care. A single bolus dose should be injected over 5 seconds.
NCT06870682
Sensorimotor function of the upper limb is often impaired after stroke, even in the chronic phase (minimum 6 months after stroke). Currently, an optimal intervention combining both motor and sensory function, with focus on sensory processing (one of the most important sensory functions), does not exists. However, the research team has developed a novel therapy paradigm combining robot-based training, a transfer package to daily life activities, and a home program. As a first step, the investigators will examine the feasibility and potential benefits of this novel therapy approach within this pilot study by recruiting 10 persons with chronic stroke. The investigators hypothesize that this therapy approach is feasible and potentially effective in chronic stroke.
NCT06870812
The main purpose of this study is to compare patients with a deep bleed in the brain undergoing surgery to patients receiving routine medical care. The standard treatment involves admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with close monitoring and blood pressure control. It also includes other medical (non-surgical) treatments to prevent more bleeding or another stroke. Sometimes, doctors will recommend surgery to remove the blood if medical treatment alone is not successful. There is evidence that doing minimally invasive surgery early-using a small opening in the skull to remove blood-may help some patients. Researchers aim to understand whether this surgery is better than current medical treatment, which may include surgeries to relieve pressure on the brain in some cases. This study, called REACH, is comparing usual medical care to early minimally invasive surgery so doctors can know which is better for patients.

NCT04119544
Hemiparesis is a common motor disorder after a stroke. The majority of patients do not recover functional use of their paretic upper limb. The use of mirror therapy allows the activation of the mirror neurons involved to stimulate brain plasticity after brain damage.The IVS (Intensive Visual Stimulation) device allows an easy implementation of mirror therapy by filming the valid upper limb and projecting the inverted image onto a screen placed above the parietal arm thus producing the illusion of movement of the parietal arm. The main hypothesis of this study is that the structured practice of a large number of upper limb targeted movement repetitions using an intensive visual numerical simulation device as a partial replacement for routine care (conventional occupational therapy) in the sub-acute phase of stroke will increase the active function (motor function and functional abilities) of the distal end of the upper limb compared to conventional rehabilitation. Objectives: This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of partial substitution of routine care (occupational therapy) by structured movement repetition programs by Intensive Visual Simulation using an IVS3 device, on the distal motor control of the upper hemiparesis limb, between 4 and 10 weeks after the stroke, compared to a program with conventional care alone.

NCT06476262
The goal of this observational study is to investigate participation restrictions and their determinants in people after a mild stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do mRS score, time since stroke onset, cognitive disorders, mood disorders and fatigue negatively impact occupations after mild stroke? Does an increased prevalence of occupational gaps correlate with a diminished quality of life following mild stroke?

NCT05081999
Patients with heart disease are often prescribed many medications and these patients may experience drug interactions or negative drug related side effects. With newer medications and treatments available, it is not well known whether older drugs, such as beta-blockers, are still an effective and safe option for treating heart disease. Some evidence suggests beta-blockers should be continued, whereas other evidence suggests beta-blockers might cause unnecessary harm. The study hopes to determine whether continuation or discontinuation of beta-blockers will affect long term cardiovascular outcomes. The study investigators will also examine how beta-blockers continuation or discontinuation affects several quality of life measures.
NCT07474675
The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a rapid bedside blood test in determining if a stroke is happening in children who present to the emergency department with stroke symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To determine the sensitivity of detecting a large vessel occlusion (LVO) as the etiology of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in a pediatric population using a point-of-care blood-based assay (LVOne). * To determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of LVOne in a pediatric population Participants will: * Provide a small sample of blood to be used to test the accuracy of the device. * Participants will still receive all standard of care work-up for stroke, which could include computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI).
