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

After acquired brain injury (ABI) many patients suffer from persistent cognitive and emotional disturbances. The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment outcome of an integrated intervention, combining neuropsychological and cognitive behavioural therapy (nCBT), against waitlist (WL) in outpatients with ABI. Individuals seeking outpatient treatment for cognitive and emotional problems after ABI were randomly allocated to nCBT (n = 27) or WL (n = 29) and completed assessments at baseline, post-treatment/WL and at six-month follow-up. The primary outcome measures were general psychopathology and functional activity in daily life. The nCBT group showed significant improvement for general psychopathology post-treatment when compared to WL. nCBT was also superior to WL regarding the secondary outcomes, i.e., the reduction of negative affect and the improvement of quality of life. No significant differences for functional activity and community integration were observed. Significant pre–post effect sizes ranged between small for functional activity and medium for quality of life. The positive effects were maintained at follow-up. The majority of patients with cognitive and emotional problems after ABI benefit from an integrated approach that offers cognitive remediation and psychotherapy. However, the heterogeneous sequelae of ABI and the moderate sample sizes in clinical trials present a methodological challenge to ABI research
