Deans' stroke musings: Effectiveness of clove oil massage to improve circulation and muscle strength in patients with non-hemorrhagic 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.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a medical condition that arises from the disruption or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, making it an emergency that can lead to neuromuscular disorders, muscle weakness, and potentially result in disability or death. One effective treatment to alleviate muscle weakness in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients is massage therapy with clove oil. This therapy helps by boosting endorphin release and decreasing muscle spasticity, which in turn relaxes the muscle tissue in these patients.

Purpose: To explain the effectiveness of massage therapy with clove oil on the degree of muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Method: A quasi-experimental study employing a pre-post test with a control group design was carried out on 48 non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. These patients received range of motion exercises, massage therapy without oil, and massage therapy with clove oil, selected through consecutive sampling. Each treatment was administered six times for 30 minutes over six days. Data analysis was performed using the Friedman test and Kruskal-Wallis test (ρ<0.05) with SPSS version 22.

Results: The clove oil massage therapy had a greater effect on increasing the degree of muscle strength with a ρ-value of 0.000.

Conclusion: Massage therapy with clove oil is effective in increasing the degree of muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients compared to other groups.
