This study tested whether a special CT scan done in the procedure room can accurately detect bleeding in the brain of stroke patients. The goal is to speed up diagnosis and treatment by avoiding extra trips to the regular CT scanner. 252 adults with stroke symptoms were enrolled …

Researchers in Finland are testing a web-based neuropsychological rehabilitation program for adults who have recently had an acquired brain injury from causes such as stroke, encephalitis, or trauma. The program, called the iRENE Digital Pathway, uses online sessions and question…

This study tests whether pairing a mild electrical stimulation to the ear with arm exercises can improve motor recovery in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Participants will do task-specific training at home three times a week for two weeks, with the ear stimulati…

This pilot study tests a home-based rehabilitation program called TASSRET for stroke survivors who have limited access to physiotherapy. Fifty participants will use either a video or a manual guide to practice specific tasks aimed at improving arm and leg function, balance, and q…

This study tested two methods to help people regain arm movement after a stroke: looking at a mirror to trick the brain, or using a robotic hand glove that mimics the healthy arm. Thirty adults who had a stroke within the past year took part. Both groups also received standard ph…

This study tested whether adding a drug called Cytoflavin to standard physical rehab helps stroke survivors recover better. Cytoflavin is an antioxidant that may protect brain cells and improve learning of new skills. The trial involved 240 adults aged 40-80 who had a stroke 2 we…

This study looked at whether listening to self-chosen Italian music during and after a stroke hospital stay can improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and boost overall well-being. 150 stroke patients were randomly assigned to either regular music listening or standard care…

This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (tES) can improve movement and thinking in people who had a stroke. Sixty adults who had a stroke between 2 weeks and 2 years ago received real or fake stimulation while doing physical therapy. Researchers…

This study tested whether adding art therapy to standard speech rehab could help people who recently had a stroke and now have trouble speaking (aphasia). Fifteen participants received 12 art therapy sessions alongside their usual therapy. Researchers used brain scans to see if a…

This study looked at whether starting gentle exercise soon after a stroke helps patients regain daily living skills, feel less anxious or depressed, and improve their quality of life. 102 adults with acute stroke took part. The results suggest early mobilization may support both …

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with balance and walking exercises, could help stroke survivors improve their mobility and thinking. Thirty adults who had a stroke participated. The results suggest tDCS may enhance rehabi…

This study follows 140 working-age stroke survivors in France to find out what factors help or hinder their return to work. Researchers will look at medical details, personal beliefs, and job-related issues. The goal is to create better support plans for people recovering from a …

Researchers are studying blood samples from people who have had a stroke to understand how blood clotting and inflammation affect recovery. They will take samples at several time points during the first week and measure markers of coagulation and inflammation. The goal is to see …

This observational study investigates fear of falling in adults who have had a stroke. Researchers will assess motor, cognitive, and psychological factors to understand what contributes to this fear. The goal is to help clinicians design better, more personalized rehabilitation s…
