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.

Effect of music therapy on blood pressure of individuals with hypertension: A systematic review and Meta-analysis

So rather than do actual research on subjects, which would be fuckingly easy to do, they relied on meta-analysis and review of other research. This type of research is useless in providing actual protocols. What type of music? Rap? Classical? Country? Punk rock? Gregorian chants? Gospel? Duration? Beat?
Useless piece of research.

Abstract

Background

Studies have reported the benefits of music on blood pressure in hypertensive patients, however there is no meta-analysis. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the effects of music in hypertensive patients.

Methods

Pubmed, Scopus, LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE and SciELO via Virtual Health Library (Bireme) (from the earliest date available to February 2016) for controlled trials that evaluated the effects of music on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test.

Results

Three studies met the eligibility criteria. Music resulted in improvement in systolic blood pressure WMD (−6.58 95% CI: −9.38 to −3.79), compared with control group. A nonsignificant difference in diastolic blood pressure was found for participants in the music group compared with control group.

Conclusions

Music may improve systolic blood pressure and should be considered as a component of care of hypertensive patients.
