Deans' stroke musings: A Effectiveness of Multi-Intervention Programme Combining Benson's Relaxation Therapy and Counseling on Perceived Stress among Stroke Victims

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.

A Effectiveness of Multi-Intervention Programme Combining Benson's Relaxation Therapy and Counseling on Perceived Stress among Stroke Victims

WOW! The stress is because you BLITHERING IDIOTS DON'T HAVE 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS! And you don't understand that? You're fired!

Background:

The global incidence of stroke reached 11.9 million cases in 2021, a 70% rise since 1990, with India contributing 1.25 million new cases, or 10% of the global burden. High perceived stress levels among stroke survivors negatively impact rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life.

Methods:

His randomized controlled trial employed a quantitative pre-test post-test control group design. Conducted in the Thrissur District, Kerala, the study enrolled 60 stroke patients, selected via simple random sampling. A multi-intervention program, including Benson’s relaxation therapy and counseling, was administered to the experimental group. Perceived stress levels were reassessed after one month. 

Results:

After one month, the experimental group demonstrated a 78.77% reduction in perceived stress (pre-test mean score = 70.40, post-test mean score = 14.93), compared to the control group, which showed no significant change. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant decrease in perceived stress across time points in the experimental group (p<0.001) but not in the control group (p=0.700).

Conclusion:

The multi-intervention program significantly reduced perceived stress among stroke patients, underscoring the value of combining physical and psychological rehabilitation strategies for improved recovery outcomes.
