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.

Risk of ischaemic stroke in patients with migraine: A longitudinal follow-up study using a national sample cohort in South Korea

I see nothing here that suggests they considered auras.

Migraine with aura – but not without – increases risk of stroke  Sept. 2017

Risk of ischaemic stroke in patients with migraine: A longitudinal follow-up study using a national sample cohort in South Korea

BMJ Open — Lee SY, et al. | April 04, 2019

In this study involving migraineurs, researchers studied the risks of different types of stroke. They gathered data from a national cohort between 2002 and 2013 by the South Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment. Data were extracted from migraine patients (n=41,585) and 1:4 matched controls (n=166,340), which they used to analyze the occurrence of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. In the migraine group, they observed higher rates of ischemic stroke vs the control group. The adjusted HR for ischemic stroke was 1.18 in the migraine group. In middle-aged women and older women, the contribution of migraine to the occurrence of ischemic stroke was also observed. Overall, the investigators concluded that migraine was not associated with hemorrhagic stroke but was instead linked to an increased risk of ischemic stroke.

    I read the full article on BMJ Open and they did indeed look at migraine with and without aura. The TLDR was that migraines both with and without aura had an increased risk of ischemic stroke. With aura had a hazard ratio of 1.44 and without aura was 1.15.

      That information is precisely why all research should be publicly available. But having that amount of detail would be overwhelming since I can barely keep up with just my news feeds and abstracts.
