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.

New program introduced for stroke patients in central Virginia

 And it took them 2 years after approval to bring it in! I don't call that excellence.

I think most stroke survivors would rather do the non-invasive approaches. So ask your doctor why surgery; I'm guessing revenue and profits.

New program introduced for stroke patients in central Virginia

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A new program at UVA Health is helping ischemic stroke survivors improve the use of their arms.

It’s called the Paired-Vagus Nerve Stimulation program and it is the first FDA-approved device to help in stroke recovery.

The new initiative helps patients to improve motor control through gentle electric stimulation.

“This is the population that has not gone all the way better. They’ve made some recovery and they sort of leveled off and that’s the group that we that we know that this device has been ideally studied in and approved for and that we want to try to get into to give them that added chance of ongoing recovery, motor recovery,” said stroke expert, Dr. Andrew Southerland.

An ischemic stroke is the most common kind of stroke and makes up about 80% to 85% of strokes.

UVA Health collaborated with Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy and MicroTransponder, to launch the Paired-Vagus Nerve Stimulation program.
