Deans' stroke musings: Researchers Develop Non-invasive Cure for Cerebral Stroke

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.

Researchers Develop Non-invasive Cure for Cerebral Stroke

In rats so your hospital's responsibility is to get research going in humans.

SEOUL, Dec. 22 (Korea Bizwire) — A South Korean research team has developed a new technology that can cure cerebral stroke without surgical operations.

Researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) recently announced that they had developed a wireless low strength high intensity focused ultrasound brain stimulator that can cure cerebral strokes simply by being worn like a hat or headband.

The low strength high intensity focused ultrasound stimulation technology is drawing attention as an innovative technology for rehabilitation of the diseases caused by damage to brain nerves since it can very accurately irradiate ultrasonic waves on the affected brain area, thereby eliminating the need for surgical operations.

Nonetheless, existing ultrasonic brain stimulators have limited use since they are heavy and fixed in place.

Taking these limits into considerations, the research team developed a light-weight wearable ultrasonic brain stimulator with a weight of about 20 grams.

The research team observed the change in motor ability in rats suffering from cerebral stroke after irradiating 426 kilopascals ultrasonic waves to the brain area that manages motor behavior in the body.

After three days of use, their motor ability showed a great improvement compared to other rats. After seven days of rehabilitation, the motor ability of the rats cured by the ultrasonic brain stimulator recovered to the level of normal rats.
