ACUTE STROKE

This study tested whether giving a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug (evolocumab) within 6 hours after a stroke clot removal procedure could prevent early neurological worsening. 60 adults with large-vessel stroke were randomly assigned to receive either the drug plus standard c…

This study tested whether giving evolocumab, a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug, within 24 hours after clot-busting treatment could prevent early neurological decline in people with acute ischemic stroke caused by large artery atherosclerosis. 132 adults were randomly assigned …

This study looked at whether listening to music during the early days after a stroke can improve patients' mood and overall well-being. 150 stroke patients were randomly assigned to either listen to music regularly for 3 months or receive standard care. Researchers measured anxie…

This study tested whether adding video game technology to standard stroke rehabilitation is safe, practical, and acceptable to patients. Researchers worked with 58 people recovering from a recent stroke to see if using engaging video games with robotic hardware could help improve…

This study looked at 455 people who had a stroke and were treated to reopen blocked arteries. Researchers compared two ways of measuring blood pressure in the first 24 hours after treatment: a continuous monitor (Clearsight) versus the standard arm cuff. The goal was to see which…

This study tested a wearable sensor system to measure arm movement in 30 people who recently had a stroke. The goal was to see if the sensors could help predict how well arm function would recover. Researchers used motion data to build a model that estimates recovery, which may l…
