Deans' stroke musings: Research progress in rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients A bibliometric analysis

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.

Research progress in rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients A bibliometric analysis

Your doctor can tell you what they think of the last ten years of clinical trials.
My opinion is that everything in stroke is a complete failure. No objective diagnosis, tPA is a failure, F.A.S.T. is a failure, hyperacute rehab is a failure because there isn't any, acute rehab has failed, chronic rehab is a colossal failure with only 10% full recovery. All my opinion with no medical background. Its better to not a have a medical background because then you don't make excuses for all the failures. I dare anyone to tell me where I'm wrong, quote studies and statistics, not personal anecdotes. What outcomes reached would be considered not a failure?

INTRODUCTION
Stroke is one of the most common refractory diseases, and has serious consequences for human health and safety. It is estimated that there are nearly 2 million stroke patients in China each year. The incidence of stroke is as high as 201/100 000; there are 7 million surviving stroke patients, 4.5 million of whom have varying degrees of work incapacity or cannot take care of themselves and with high disability rate.

Patients would like to recover as soon as possible after stroke. Scientists also would like to see their discoveries help people with stroke. Physicians, surgeons and therapists want the treatments they provide to improve an individual’s independence, mobility and quality of life.

Clinical trials is a very important way to improve the level of treatment, it can determine if a promising stroke rehabilitation treatment is safe and effective for patients, and can be approved by the regulatory authorities. With respect to the treatment and rehabilitation on stroke patients, these trials may evaluate drugs already approved for other diseases to assess if the drug may be useful for stroke rehabilitation. They may also evaluate new experimental drugs to determine if they improve motor function, recovery of linguistic function, slow disease progression or even prevent stroke for patients following stroke.

In this paper, a quantitative analysis was conducted to investigate programs registered in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Trials registry (ClinicalTrial.gov) for quantitative analysis of stroke rehabilitation treatment research. We also collected data from the Web of Science database on research funding bodies and trials on stroke rehabilitation to provide an understanding of international research trends in stroke rehabilitation treatment over the past 10 years.
