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.

Time for the next stage of stroke recovery trials

ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS. With no reference to any strategy none of these problems in stroke will even be attempted to be solved.  Until we get survivors in charge and get some real leadership your children and grandchildren will be screwed if they have a stroke. Talk is cheap.

Check out these 13 problems in stroke with nothing to address them.

Time for the next stage of stroke recovery trials



Almost 10 years ago, the FLuoxetine for motor recovery After acute ischaeMic strokE (FLAME) trial
suggested that early prescription of daily 20 mg fluoxetine, a selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), could substantially enhance upper and lower limb motor recovery, as measured with the Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment Scale, in patients with moderate to severe ischaemic stroke. The rationale for using fluoxetine was that it would enhance spontaneous poststroke plasticity mechanisms, with beneficial effects on functional recovery.
FLAME put fluoxetine in the spotlight as a recovery drug, but the study was a small trial (N=118) and did not generate robust evidence to change practice.
