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.

Hypothermic therapy device shows promise in treating concussions

WHOM is going to write up and research how hypothermia might help strokes?  Our fucking failures of stroke associations won't do one damn thing. There is no point in even talking to them, they have NO survivor outreach. Stroke shouldn't even be in their name, they are that useless.

Hypothermic therapy device shows promise in treating concussions

By Ken Downey Jr.

TecTraum Inc. announced complete enrollment status for a clinical trial evaluating its pro2cool device, a noninvasive hypothermic therapy system for treating concussions.

The device, designed to decrease the severity of concussion symptoms, provides localized cooling for the head and neck to lower blood temperature before reaching the brain, the company stated in a press release.

According to the CDC, as many as 3.8 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur annually in the United States. In addition, from 2001 to 2012, emergency room visits doubled among children with concussions.

Following the completion of pilot studies for pro2cool, investigators enrolled 174 participants, aged 12 to 21 years, to further evaluate the device’s efficacy, safety and tolerability. The University of Michigan’s CS Mott Children's Hospital, Akron Children's Hospital, Dayton Children's Hospital and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center served as investigational sites.

“As the principal investigator in the study we are thankful for the hard work of the research team from Akron Children’s Hospital,” Joseph A. Congeni, MD, of Akron Children's Hospital, said in the release. “We also appreciate the coordination and communication demonstrated in this study by all of the researchers in this multicenter effort.”

According to the release, hypothermic therapy has been clinically effective in treating various cardiovascular injuries, including cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction. The physiologic neuroprotective benefit from cooling the injured area appears to occur at the cellular level and involves disrupting the body’s inflammatory response. By cooling the region, the cellular metabolic cascade is weakened and subsequent damage caused by the body is minimized.
