Deans' stroke musings: Minocycline in Stroke Study at Maimonides

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.

Minocycline in Stroke Study at Maimonides

Why? Didn't all this earlier research produce protocols on its' use? NO? So incompetency reigned and your lack of recovery is because of ALL THAT FUCKING INCOMPETENCY!

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if Minocycline, when added to standard care, can improve survival and functional outcomes in patients with moderate acute stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) aged 18 years and older. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Minocycline improve \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\* (NIHSS) scores at hospital discharge and 90 days post-stroke? 2. Does Minocycline reduce stroke-related disability, all-cause in hospital mortality (mRS -\*Modified Rankin Scale\* = 6) and at 90 days besides reducing brain bleeding complications compared to standard care? Researchers will compare patients receiving oral Minocycline plus standard care to those receiving standard care only to see if Minocycline leads to better neurological outcomes and lower mortality. Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned by block to receive either: Minocycline 200 mg orally once daily for five days within 24 hours from symptoms onset + Standard Care, or Standard Care only 2. Undergo neurological assessments using NIHSS \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\* and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at admission, discharge, 30 days post-stroke, 90 days post-stroke 3. Be monitored for: a) hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic strokes; b) Adverse events and mortality outcomes; c) Safety and efficacy signals through interim analyses NIHSS: \*National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale\*, which is stroke severity scale, mRS: \*Modified Rankin Scale\*, which is stroke disability scale To learn more, visitClinicalTrials.gov
