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.

Management of Post-stroke Depression (PSD) by Electroencephalography for Effective Rehabilitation

Why are you working on the secondary problem of depression when solving the primary problem of 100% recovery eliminates the need for such research?

Highlights

In this study, we provided a unique and systematic review on the most related literature of the clinical applications of EEG for PSD and offered a cross-section that is useful for determining optimal practices.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) has significant negative impacts on the daily life of stroke survivors and delays their neurologic recovery.

However, the traditional post-stroke rehabilitation mainly focused on motor restoration, whereas little attention was given to the affective deficits.

The aims of the study were to gather EEG based empirical evidence for PSD diagnosis, to review interventions for managing PSD, and to analyse the evaluation approaches.

The review showed the needs for understanding the cortical responses of PSD, in order to improve its diagnosis and precision treatment.

Abstract

Post-stroke depression (PSD) has negative impacts on the daily life of stroke survivors and delays their neurological recovery. However, traditional post-stroke rehabilitation mainly focused on motor restoration, whereas little attention was given to the affective deficits. Effective management of PSD, including diagnosis, intervention, and follow-ups, is essential for post-stroke rehabilitation. As an objective measurement of the nervous system, electroencephalography (EEG) has been applied to the diagnosis and evaluation of PSD. In this paper, we reviewed the literature most related to the clinical applications of EEG for PSD and offered a cross-section that is useful for selecting appropriate approaches in practice. This study aimed to gather EEG-based empirical evidence for PSD diagnosis, review interventions for managing PSD, and analyze the evaluation approaches. In total, 33 diagnostic studies and 19 intervention studies related to PSD and depression were selected from the literature. It was found that the EEG features analyzed by both band-based and nonlinear dynamic approaches were capable of quantifying the abnormal neural responses on the cortical level for PSD diagnosis and intervention evaluation/prediction. Meanwhile, EEG-based machine learning has also been applied to the diagnosis and evaluation of depression to automate and speed up the process, and the results have been promising. Although brain-computer interface (BCI) interventions have been widely applied to post-stroke motor rehabilitation and cognitive training, BCI emotional training has not been directly used in PSD yet. This review showed the need for understanding the cortical responses of PSD to improve its diagnosis and precision treatment. It also revealed that future post-stroke rehabilitation plans should include training sessions for motor, affect, and cognitive functions and closely monitor their improvements.
