Deans' stroke musings: National Stroke Association Teams With Clinical Trial Matching Service CureLauncher

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.

National Stroke Association Teams With Clinical Trial Matching Service CureLauncher

I bet an association with us popular stroke bloggers would be more likely to bring in clinical trial participants. Probably because we have more relevant information and more visitors.

Michigan-based CureLauncher (http://www.curelauncher.com), developer of a patent-pending and proprietary clinical trial matching service, today announced an exclusive(Does this mean they can't approach other better stroke groups?) partnership with the National Stroke Association—a leading educational, prevention and advocacy group for individuals and their families and health care professionals confronting health issues related to strokes.
National Stroke Association members and visitors will be directed to http://www.curelauncher.com, where specially trained relationship managers help individuals find a clinical trial that may offer access to a new diagnostic test, treatment or rehabilitative approach.
“We are thrilled to partner with CureLauncher,” said Jim Baranski, National Stroke Association CEO. “Together, we can make progress in preventing, treating and understanding this challenging condition that impacts so many American families. In particular, clinical medical research is bringing us new diagnostic techniques to identify individuals at risk for stroke, as well as life strategies and other approaches to prevention.”
The power of clinical trials. Nearly 200 million Americans have a chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma or cancer. Less than five percent of them know where to find new treatments available in clinical trials according to the Center for Information & Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP). Yet, some of America’s best medical care is available through these clinical trials.
"CureLauncher redefines the approach to clinical trials by putting people and their families first," said David Fuehrer, CureLauncher President, who is also a two-time cancer survivor and active speaker and volunteer for various support communities.
“We are excited to collaborate with the National Stroke Association. We want to help them in their quest to prevent or alleviate what is now the nation’s fourth leading cause of death,” Fuehrer added.
About National Stroke Association:
The National Stroke Association was formed in 1984 to fill a void as the only national nonprofit healthcare organization focusing 100 percent of its resources and attention on stroke. In its brief history, National Stroke Association has become a leading national resource on stroke and the driving force behind efforts to improve stroke prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and support for all impacted by stroke.
