Until we get the correct research objective for all stroke research, we will never solve stroke. The major obstacle is we have NO strategy to solve stroke and NO leadership to drive that strategy to completion. It is that fucking simple.
1. All stroke research leads to 100% recovery.
2. All stroke research creates rehab protocols usable and understandable by survivors.
Reaching a Tipping Point for Neurorehabilitation Research: Obstacles and Opportunities in Trial Design, Description, and Pooled Analysis
The
record-breaking pace of COVID-19 vaccine development and implementation
depended heavily on collaboration among academic, government, and
commercial stakeholders, especially through data-sharing and robust
multicenter trials. Collaborative efforts have not been as fruitful in
fields such as neurorehabilitation, where non-pharmacological
interventions play a much larger role. Barriers to translating
scientific advancements into clinical practice in neurorehabilitation
include pervasively small study sizes, exacerbated by limited funding
for non-pharmacological multicenter clinical trials; difficulty
standardizing—and adequately describing—non-pharmacological
interventions; and a lack of incentives for individual patient-level
data-sharing. These barriers prevent reliable meta-analysis of
non-pharmacological clinical studies in neurorehabilitation. This
point-of-view will highlight these challenges as well as suggest
practical steps that may be taken to improve the neurorehabilitation
pipeline between evidence and implementation.
