Deans' stroke musings: AllTrials calls for all past and present clinical trials to be registered and their full methods and summary results reported.

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.

AllTrials calls for all past and present clinical trials to be registered and their full methods and summary results reported.

This is where our stroke associations could finally do some good, they could join this and get all stroke trials published. This statement from Dr. Michael Tymianski, of the Toronto Western Hospital Research Institute in Canada who talked about 1000+ failed neuroprotective drugs years ago. We should know exactly what those 1000+ trials were trying to accomplish and why they failed. If we don't learn from our failures we are doomed to repeat them.

“We learn from failure, not from success!”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula ?

“Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others.”
― Brandon Mull, Fablehaven

“I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being--forgive me--rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

“In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.” (This is not the way we relearn to walk after a stroke)
― Robert T. Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad
“Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.”
― Bill Gates
(And I am a damned unhappy survivor, what are the stroke associations doing to learn from me?)
