The purpose of the study is to better understand the safety of using combination antithrombotic therapy in patients with high risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke secondary to ICAD (intracranial atherosclerotic disease) for prevention of recurrent stroke.
The purpose of the study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a 4-week lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity recovery amoung community-living stroke survivors.
The main goal of this program of research is to advance our understanding of how the severely damaged brain changes over the first 12-months post stroke. The investigators will determine 'who recovers', 'who does not recover', and 'why'
This trial will enroll patients that have been diagnosed with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke that has occurred within the past 12 hours. Anyone diagnosed with a minor stroke faces the possibility of long-term disability and even death, regardless of treatment. Stroke symptoms such as weakness, difficulty speaking and paralysis may improve or worsen over the hours or days immediately following a stroke. TEMPO-2 is a minor stroke trial for patients presenting within 12 hours of their symptom onset. Patients will be randomized to TNK-tPA or standard of care.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial exploring the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban as compared to acetylsalicylic acid in reducing stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and neurocognitive decline, in subjects with non-valvular AF and with low risk of stroke.
The investigators will conduct a proof-of-concept study to provide preliminary evidence of efficacy of physical exercise dose on ambulatory function in adults undergoing sub-acute stroke rehabilitation.
The ESCAPE-NA-1 study is designed to determine the safety and efficacy of the neuroprotectant, NA-1, in reducing global disability in subjects with major acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who are selected for endovascular revascularization.
The project targets stroke survivors to investigate the effect of augmented feedback (using robotic force cues and visual feedback) on their upper limb reaching patterns and trunk compensatory movements.
This is a study in patients who recently had a brain attack (stroke) and in whom no clear cause of the stroke could be identified. These strokes are likely due to a blood clot and therefore, can be called embolic stroke of undetermined source. The abbreviation is ESUS. The study will compare 2 blood thinners. Patients will be randomly assigned to either Rivaroxaban 15 mg or Aspirin 100 mg and the study is intended to show, if patients given rivaroxaban have fewer blood clots in the brain (stroke) or in other blood vessels.
The investigators will conduct a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial study to provide preliminary evidence of efficacy of exercise training or a complex mental and social activities program for improving cognitive function in older adults with chronic stroke, compared with a stretch and relaxation program.
