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.

Introduction

Rehabilitation in patients with severe brain injury remains a complex and challenging task. Published data about neurorehabilitative treatments are still insufficient to make clear recommendations. This report presents the case of a patient with severe brain injury for whom hypnosis was proposed as part of his rehabilitation treatment program.
Case report

A 50-year-old man suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage. He showed a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS [1]) score of 8 (E4VtM3) at the emergency department. Brain CT scan showed left capsule-lenticular hemorrhage. Electroencephalogram showed slowing of basic rhythms with left lateralization. The patient was tracheotomized, received gastric feeding, and a shunt was placed to relieve secondary hydrocephaly. After 22 days, he left the intensive care unit with a GCS of 10 (E4VtM5). Two months post-injury, the patient was transferred to a rehabilitation center with the observation of “spontaneous eyes opening and arousal.” Seven months pos ...
