Deans' stroke musings: Our 5 year research strategy demonstrates where our vision lies and how we aim to get there. UK stroke association

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.

Our 5 year research strategy demonstrates where our vision lies and how we aim to get there. UK stroke association

The ASA, NSA and WSO have nothing on their websites about research strategy. Because they are doing nothing about solving any problems that stroke survivors have.

Stroke Association Research Strategy

Our Research Strategy sets out a five-year research strategy (2014-2019) for the Stroke Association. Our vision is for a world where there are fewer strokes and those touched by stroke get the help they need. We believe in the power of research evidence to prevent stroke, save lives and enable stroke survivors to make the best recovery possible.
Twenty years ago, stroke research was largely neglected by other funding agencies. Through our early and continued investment, we have established a strong community of stroke researchers and healthcare professionals. The UK is now a world-leader in the field, second only to the USA. But there is still much to do; we want to build on what we have achieved so far.

While this is nice, it doesn't lay out any specific goals.
My goals would be:
0. There is no fast, easy and objective way to diagnose a stroke.
1. tPA may save your life with tPA having a 88% failure rate for full recovery.
2. Your neurologist doesn't have any concrete stroke protocols to save all the neurons that are dying in the first week.
3. Your neurologist or physiatrist doesn't have any clue about how to get you to full recovery. (Ask them exactly how to do it), you'll get excuses.
4. Only 10% get to full recovery..
5. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
6. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
7. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
8. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
9. No published stroke protocols.
10. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.
