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.

Change in stroke outcome with tPA

This shows 13% full success but I've been using the 12% tPA efficacy one, your doctor should be able to explain their hospital rate of efficacy of tPA.
The diagram came from here: A CME course on Opening the Window of Time in Stroke Therapy: New Evidence for the Emergency Department
That amount of failure should have created an emergency project back in 1996 to figure out a better solution. But NO, we've been shoehorning this failure into stroke processes ever since.  I blame our stroke associations for putting out 'happy talk' rather than informing the world that everything in stroke is a failure. 68% failure rate is abysmal, everyone in stroke needs to be fired, they've had almost 20 years to fix this and have done nothing..
