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.

Innovative new trial offers hope for stroke patients

 Why is this trial necessary with all this earlier vagus nerve research? You incompetently don't know about that? And neither did your mentors and senior researchers? MY GOD, THE INCOMPENCE DISPLAYED IS ASTOUNDING! Good job!

  • vagus nerve (97 posts to July 2012)
  • Innovative new trial offers hope for stroke patients

    Stroke patients in Dorset have been invited to take part in a potentially ground-breaking new clinical trial that could help strengthen hand and arm function.

    Local people who have had a stroke within the last 10 years are being asked to take part.

    It will include electrically stimulating the vagus nerve in the brain, via a lightweight, wearable pacemaker-like device that connects to a wired earpiece.

    Patients will be asked to wear the device whilst they move their weak arms.

    The simulation is automatically activated, which means people can access the treatment at home without needing invasive surgery.

    Ian Odd, 76, who lives in Dorset, had a stroke in 2020 and is taking part in the trial. He said: “It’s fantastic, and has certainly got me more disciplined with exercise. It’s well worth being involved.”

    The Transcutaneous llmb (Low Lying Peroneus Brevis Muscle) recovery post-stroke (TRICEPS) trial will run for two years.

    Consultant stroke therapist, Dr Louise Johnson, leads the study locally she said: “This is a really exciting and promising trial, and it’s unusual to be able to take part so long after having a stroke. I am confident there are plenty of people out there who are eligible and would want to play a role in improving stroke rehabilitation, so please do come forward.”

    Patients have been enrolled via two local NHS trusts, UHD and Dorset HealthCare, but researchers have said more people need to come forward.

    The trial is costing £2m and is being run in 19 centres across the country including Bournemouth, Sherborne and Dorchester.
