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.

Hyperbaric therapy providing hope for stroke survivor

But all this other research shows no help.

HBOT hasn't had any earlier success in either TBI or stroke.

Oxygen therapy no better than placebo for treating concussion, study finds

Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Repair the Damaged Brain?

Mayo clinics take:

hbot as stroke therapy - quackery?

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - A different type of treatment is giving new hope for people recovering from a stroke.
Doctors in the Philadelphia area are studying it and our Joyce Evans spoke to the first patient in the new clinical trials.
49-year-old Mike Dooley suffered a stroke during heart surgery a little more than a year ago. He was placed into an induced coma for weeks.
"It is a shocking thing to wake up and be paralyzed," Mike explained, "I lost 100 pounds of weight and was very sick - near death."



The athletic 8th grade science teacher, football and wrestling coach kept fighting. His family, friends, and neighbors continued to cheer him on.
Like so many others, Mike needed rehabilitation beyond what his health insurance covered. He maxed out on physical therapy and his homecare and transportation to and from doctors and sessions were out of pocket.
His sister Noreen set up a GoFundMe page and found an unusual study about to startup nearby, at the Wound Healing Center of Abington Jefferson Health.
Mike became patient number one in trials that combined hyperbaric therapy with physical rehab.
"Oh I would do anything, I would light my head on fire if I thought it would help me get better," Mike said.
Mike underwent 30 90-minute treatments in six weeks inside a pressurized chamber filled with 100% oxygen at twice our atmospheric pressure.
"And it sits at the tissue delivering almost 1,000 times more oxygen for up to 18 hours after the treatment," said Dr. Rob Jubelirer, "We do see improvement -- for weeks and months after the treatment."
Dr. Jubelirer says it's still a slow process but the hope is to one day make hyperbaric therapy standard treatment along with physical rehab to heal damage caused by a stroke faster and maybe even better.
"I'm looking down a tunnel and there's light there now at the end of it," Mike said.
