Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

hypnosis and stroke rehabilitation

Sounds like another form of mental imagery.

The Memory Trace Reactivation and Reconstruction
Theory of Therapeutic Hypnosis:
The Creative Replaying of Gene Expression
and Brain Plasticity in Stroke Rehabilitation

 

I tell the story of how I used my dreams and early training in therapeutic hypnosis with Milton H.
Erickson to facilitate my own creative rehabilitation from a stroke at the age of sixty-nine. I explore
how currently emerging neuroscience research on memory trace reactivation and reconstruction may
be foreshadowing a new theory of the basic ideodynamics of therapeutic hypnosis on a molecular
genomic level. I propose how the creative replay of activity-dependent gene expression, protein
synthesis, and brain plasticity in the reconstruction of fear, stress, and traumatic memories and
symptoms is the essence of therapeutic hypnosis and psychotherapy. A new generation of clinical
researchers will be required to update Milton H. Erickson’s view of the “neuro-psycho-physiological
process” of therapeutic hypnosis on all levels from the experiences of consciousness and dreaming
to the creative replay of the gene expression/protein synthesis cycle and brain plasticity.

A bunch of this is written in German, so challenge those brains.

You'll have to read this one youself, putting it into blogger causes it to shut down.

Case reports documenting the use of hypnosis in conjunction with stroke rehabilitation therapy date back to the 1950’s (Shires, 1954). Some of the reports describe extraordinary improvements leg and arm functional that occurred spontaneously during the hypnotic sessions and were retained during the following months (Manganiello, 1986; Chappell, 1964; Crasilnech, 1970). Others document dramatic increases in limb strength or range of motion occurring from 6 to 18 months after the stroke event when further functional improvement was not expected (Holroyd, 1989). Hypnosis has also been used to improve patient tolerance of standard therapy (Appel, 1990). Although the published reports are case studies, the positive trend suggests that hypnosis may tap into cognitive resources that improve motor learning beyond standard physical therapy.

Talk to your doctor on this, I bet you won't find one who knows about it
