NCT07323368
The investigators initiated a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perfusion-guided endovascular treatment (EVT) compared to standard medical care for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) within 24 hours from symptom onset.
NCT07134777
This project will collect brain imaging data to quantify the effects of early visual cortex damage and visual training interventions on the structure and function of the residual visual system. Our goal is to improve understanding of the consequences of permanent visual cortex damage in humans, and to understand how visual training impacts the function of the residual visual system to restore perception.
NCT07244952
Vojta therapy that is reflex locomotion therapy is a neurophysiological rehabilitation approach that stimulates specific "reflex zones" on the body to activate global, innate movement patterns. In stroke rehabilitation, it is used to improve postural control, trunk stability, and functional movement by engaging automatic motor responses. Vojta stimulation can activate motor cortical and subcortical areas as well as postural muscles. Pose estimation will be used to analyze human motion in stroke patients. The study will identify if there is significant difference in the comparative effects of Vojta therapy in addition to routine physical therapy on posture, trunk control and upper extremity motor function in sub-acute stroke patients
NCT07079345
Research Purpose: This project focuses on clinical research issues in the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of patients with cephalic and carotid atherosclerosis. Through multimodal imaging technology, it aims to optimize non-invasive quantitative algorithm models for cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolism, explore new imaging markers, and investigate quantitative indicators of cerebral blood flow and metabolism for the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of patients with cephalic and carotid atherosclerosis undergoing drug therapy or surgical treatment. Research Design: 1. Study Type: Observational study 2. Study Subjects: In accordance with the \*Chinese Clinical Management Guidelines for Cerebrovascular Diseases (2nd Edition)\*, patients with cephalic and carotid atherosclerotic stenosis admitted to the department of neurosurgery will be enrolled. Data collection time points are at enrollment, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up. 3. Sample Size: 200 patients with cephalic and carotid atherosclerotic stenosis. 4. Observation Indicators: Distribution patterns of cerebral blood flow and metabolic reduction areas in patients; correlation analysis between blood flow, metabolic values and clinical scores. 5. Statistical Analysis Methods: Statistical analysis will be performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. All statistical results will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation. First, the Shapiro-Wilk test will be used to assess normal distribution. Under the premise of normal distribution, paired t-test will be used to compare blood flow and metabolic values between the lesion area and the contralateral area of patients, as well as to compare changes in blood flow and metabolism of patients at different time points. Pearson correlation analysis will be used to analyze the relationship between blood flow/metabolic parameters and clinical neurological function scores. The Mann-Whitney U test will be used to analyze variables with non-normal distribution. A P value \< 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
NCT07198048
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a music-based intervention can acutely improve three types of attention (alerting, orientating, executive control) in people with aphasia following a stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is a music based intervention effective at improving attention with someone who has aphasia? 2. Does music-induced changes in attention improve language abilities and quality of life with someone who has aphasia? Researchers will compare a group that listening to music, to listing to an audiobook group, to a group that serves as a control to see if there are changes in attention over time. Participants will: 1. Listen to music or an audiobook for 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks 2. Complete a daily journal about each day's listening experience 3. Complete three testing sessions where attention, language, and quality of life are assessed.
NCT07113041
Our proposed study, "NEUROBALANCE Stroke,"; aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined intervention involving robotic balance training and noninvasive brain stimulation in improving balance function and postural control in individuals with chronic stroke. The study will recruit 45 participants who have had a stroke at least 6 months before enrolment and experience persistent balance and gait deficits. Participants will be randomized into three groups: (1) robotic balance training with active brain stimulation, (2) robotic balance training with sham brain stimulation, and (3) standard-of-care rehabilitation. The study will involve 15 training sessions over 5 weeks, with assessments conducted at baseline, post-training, and two months post-training to evaluate balance recovery and retention. The primary focus is understanding how this intervention affects brain and muscle activity during balance tasks and how these changes translate into functional improvements in clinical outcome measures of balance function. Additionally, participant feedback on brain stimulation and exercise engagement will be collected to inform future studies. The findings may guide the development of personalized training protocols and contribute to broader rehabilitation strategies.

To determine the Effects of Dual-Task and Progressive Wall Squat Training on Cognition, Balance and Functional mobility in Stroke Survivors.
NCT05964400
The goal of this intervention study is to test whether a behavioral program that involves people with stroke and their caregivers is acceptable, safe, and can promote physically active lifestyles using enjoyable activities. Participant duos (person with stroke and their caregiver) will be asked to complete assessments at 2 timepoints, wear an activity tracker, participate in 12 sessions with an occupational therapist, and complete an interview.
NCT04071613
Ischemic stroke is a major health burden globally and in Australia. Treatment for ischemic stroke is time critical and is significantly more effective if administered within the first 90 minutes of symptom onset. This clinical trial will identify if early administration of oral thrombolytic agent, tenecteplase prior to hospital can improve outcomes from stroke, and reduce costs compared to standard care of IV alteplase in hospital
NCT02982278
This research project will evaluate the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors, degrees of physical and mental activity prior to the stroke, brain tissue integrity, post-stroke community participation and neurological recovery after the stroke. Investigators will recruit and study healthy and post stroke participants, gaining insight into the possible mechanisms that explain why the adverse risk profile, which is more commonly present in African-Americans than non-Hispanic Whites in the stroke belt, is translated into a less favorable recovery post stroke.
