Effect of social support and health education on depression scale scores of chronic stroke patients
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of social support on depression in chronic stroke patients and the relationship between demographic and disease characteristics. Total samples were randomly divided into an intervention group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 31). Sixteen social support interventions were performed over 8 weeks. Social support programs were implemented 2 times a week. Depressive symptoms were assessed at the second week, 4th week, 8th week, and 4 weeks after the end of the study using the 10-item Center for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression Short Form (CES-D10). There wa...

Updates in the Treatment of Post-Stroke Pain
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo provide an overview of the current treatment strategies for common subtypes of post-stroke pain.Recent FindingsThere is growing research interest in non-pharmacological treatment approaches for chronic pain, including neurostimulation as well as lifestyle and psychosocial interventions. Newer pharmacotherapy research includes cannabinoids and NMDA-receptor antagonists as well as bee venom. Persistent post-stroke headache is an increasingly appreciated entity, though the role of novel chronic migraine treatments for post-stroke headache is not known.SummaryOverall, most treatment approaches to po...

Rehabilitation of the upper arm early after stroke: video games versus conventional rehabilitation. A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion. In general, we cannot conclude that video gaming and conventional OT led to different long-term sensorimotor recovery of the UL after sub-acute stroke. However, when applied within the first month after stroke, video gaming was more efficient than conventional rehabilitation on both sensorimotor recovery and gross grasping function.Trial registration.

Neuropathic pain releasing calcitonin gene related peptide protects against stroke in rats.
Authors: Wang Y, Liu Z, Ge X, Hu X, Cao X, Li L, Xia J, Li F, Gao L Abstract Neuropathic pain (NPP) is deemed as a potential risk of stroke; however, recent pieces of evidence showed that calcitonin gene-related peptide is involving in pain progression as well as organ protection. The mechanisms underlying the neuroprotection of calcitonin gene-related peptide are yet poorly described with respect to stroke. The present study showed that the elevated level of calcitonin gene-related peptide-induced by NPP exerts a protective effect against stroke in rats, which was further confirmed in vivo and vitro via mitigation...

Prognostic Value of Coronary CT Angiography for Predicting Poor Cardiac Outcome in Stroke Patients without Known Cardiac Disease or Chest Pain: The Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease in Stroke Patients Study.
CONCLUSION: Assessment of stenosis degree and plaque type using CCTA provided additional prognostic value over CACS and FRS to risk stratify stroke patients without prior history of CAD better. PMID: 32691541 [PubMed - in process]

Bilateral vertebral artery dissection complicated by posterior circulation stroke in a young man: A case report
Conclusion: VAD should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of posterior circulation stroke or transient ischemic attack in young patients. Intravenous thrombolytic therapy may be safe and effective for stroke-complicated cases. This case report demonstrates that expanded diagnostic protocol for acute ischemic stroke assures rapid and correct diagnosis.

The effects of slow-stroke back massage on anxiety and shoulder pain in elderly stroke patients
This study explores the effect of slow-stroke back massages on anxiety and shoulder pain in hospitalized elderly patients with stroke. An experimental quantitative design was conducted, comparing the scores for self-reported pain, anxiety, blood pressure, heart rate and pain of two groups of patients before and immediately after, and three days after the intervention. The intervention consisted of ten minutes of slow-stroke back massage (SSBM) for seven consecutive evenings. One hundred and two patients participated in the entire study and were randomly assigned to a massage group or a control group. The results revealed t...
