Deans' stroke musings: Brain function changes induced by intermittent sequential pneumatic compression in patients with stroke as assessed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy

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.

Brain function changes induced by intermittent sequential pneumatic compression in patients with stroke as assessed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy

No clue what this said. Intermittent sequential pneumatic compression is this:

The devices use cuffs around the legs that fill with air and squeeze your legs. This increases blood flow through the veins of your legs and helps prevent blood clots.

Also called Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) is the application of a transient and brief ischemic stimulus to a distant site from the organ or texture that is afterward exposed to injury ischemia[8] and has been found to reduce IRI in various animal models. Your doctor should have been doing that for years

Abstract:

Study investigated the effects of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression (ISPC) on cerebral oscillations after stroke. The tissue concentration of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin oscillations were measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy under resting and ISPC conditions in 27 right-handed adult patients with stroke. Five characteristic frequency signals were identified using the wavelet method. The wavelet amplitude (WA) and laterality index (LI) were calculated to describe the frequency-specific cortical activities. The ISPC state of patients with ischemic stroke showed significantly increased WA values of the ipsilesional motor cortex (MC) in the frequency intervals III, IV, and V. There was no significant difference in the WA values in the ISPC state compared with the resting state in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Also, the LI values of the prefrontal cortex and MC in patients decreased more obviously in the ISPC state than in the resting state despite no significant difference. The significantly increased WA values in the frequency intervals III, IV, and V in the MC of patients with ischemic stroke might be related to cortical activity in the MC in addition to increased cerebral perfusion. The decreased LI values in the prefrontal cortex and MC indicated that the ISPC may have had a positive effect on the functional rehabilitation of these regions. This study provides a method for assessing the effects of ISPC on cerebral oscillations, and the results benefit the optimization of ISPC parameters in personalized treatment for the functional recovery of patients with stroke.
