Deans' stroke musings: The Potential for Increasing the Efficacy of the Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients with Neglect Syndrome

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.

The Potential for Increasing the Efficacy of the Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients with Neglect Syndrome

No clue what neglect syndrome is but your doctor should be well versed in it and have stroke protocols to address it. Diane wrote about Bob using CerAxon here.

Objective. To evaluate the use of different treatment systems to increase the efficacy of the rehabilitation of patients with neglect syndrome (NS) after stroke. Materials and methods. The effects of observing a protocol for managing patients with NS and using Ceraxon (citicoline) on the extent of recovery of neurological functions, the level of daily adaptation, and elimination of NS were studied in stroke patients. Treatment results from 120 patients were analyzed. The extent of restoration of functions was assessed using the Lindmark scale, the level of daily adaptation using the Barthel scale and the Merton and Sutton scale, the state of cognitive functions using the MMSE and the Frontal Assessment Battery, and psychoemotional status using the Beck questionnaire. Treatment efficacy was also evaluated in terms of the absence of the characteristic signs of NS. Results and conclusion. These studies showed that complex rehabilitation following the protocol for managing patients with NS and Ceraxon significantly increased rehabilitation efficacy in this group of patients.
