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.

Mobile Stroke Unit Mixed Results

This is so goddamned easy to explain. Just because you are delivering tPA marginally faster doesn't mean it works better. You have done nothing to understand the 12% of tPA patients that fully recover and duplicate that. And nothing has been done on stopping the neuronal cascade of death by these 5 causes in the first week.

Ischemic stroke patients who received IV thrombolysis on the way to the hospital in a specialized ambulance kitted out with a CT scanner did not have a better chance of returning home without functional disability at 3 months than did those who got the same treatment at the hospital after usual transport.
So found a study from Berlin, where the system has been rolled out. But the researchers noted secondary findings suggestive "that pre-hospital start of intravenous thrombolysis might lead to improved functional outcome in patients."
"This evidence requires substantiation in future large-scale trials," they wrote in Lancet Neurology.
