Active music therapy approach for stroke patients in the post-acute rehabilitation
AbstractGuidelines in stroke rehabilitation recommend the use of a multidisciplinary approach. Different approaches and techniques with music are used in the stroke rehabilitation to improve motor and cognitive functions but also psychological outcomes. In this randomized controlled pilot trial, relational active music therapy approaches were tested in the post-acute phase of disease. Thirty-eight hospitalized patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke were recruited and allocated in two groups. The experimental group underwent the standard of care (physiotherapy and occupational therapy daily sessions) and relational a...

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Concurrent Upper Limb Repetitive Task Practice for Poststroke Motor Recovery: A Pilot Study
Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has the potential to enhance the effects of physiotherapy for upper limb motor recovery after stroke. Noninvasive, transcutaneous auricular branch VNS (taVNS) may have similar benefits, but this has not been evaluated in stroke recovery. We sought to determine the feasibility of taVNS delivered alongside upper limb repetitive task-specific practice after stroke and its effects on a range of outcome measures evaluating limb function.

Comparison of Motor Relearning Program versus Bobath Approach for Prevention of Poststroke Apathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Apathy is a multidimensional syndrome referring to a primary lack of motivation, frequent in survivors of stroke. And prior studies have demonstrated the negative effect of apathy on recovery from stroke. Methods: A randomized controlled study of acute stroke patients. Four hundred and eighty-eight patients without evidence of apathy or depression at the initial visit were consecutively recruited, 258 males and 230 female. Patients were block randomized into 2 groups. Group A (n  = 245) and Group B (n = 243) had physiotherapy according to Motor Relearning Program and Bobath in the first 4 weeks, respectively.

Cortical and spinal excitability changes after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined to physiotherapy in stroke spastic patients
ConclusionOne-hertz rTMS associated with PT increased the unaffected hemisphere excitability, decreased spinal excitability, and reduced post-stroke ULS.

Intensities in the application of robotic technologies in upper extremity rehabilitation after a stroke: a systematic review of randomised controlled clinical trials.
CONCLUSION: Significant correlations are observed between intensity (minutes per week) and mFMA-UE, with a higher level of significance in the intervention group. PMID: 32500522 [PubMed - in process]

Effects of Training with a Brain –Computer Interface-Controlled Robot on Rehabilitation Outcome in Patients with Subacute Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionTraining with a BCI-controlled robot combined with traditional physiotherapy promotes cognitive function recovery, and enhances motor functions of the lower extremity in patients with subacute stroke. These patients also showed increased secretion of BDNF.Trial RegistrationChinese clinical trial registry: ChiCTR-INR-17012874.

Prioritization of neurologic rehabilitation interventions by ELECTRE-III analysis in subacute stroke patients
ConclusionsThe results showed that rehabilitation interventions such as Bobath-NDT and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, which are frequently used in developing countries, are still useful, and CCT is the most appropriate intervention for the transition from conventional methods to innovative models in these countries.

Noninvasive neuromodulation for unilateral neglect after stroke: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
ConclusionExisting evidence showed that NINM could improve UN after stroke and that TBS was best. Due to the number of included studies and sample size, more large-sample, multicenter, double-blinded, high-quality clinical RCTs are still needed in the future to further confirm the results of this research.

The Effects of Trunk and Extremity Functions on Activities of Daily Living, Balance, and Gait in Stroke
DISCUSSION: The results of this study showed that trunk functions are more related to ADL and balance than extremity functions. Therefore, trunk training should be included as a basic application in physiotherapy programs for stroke patients.PMID:36319611 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2022.2142424

Effects of low-frequency rTMS combined with antidepressants on depression in patients with post-stroke depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThe results of this meta-analysis evidenced the efficacy and safety of low-rTMS combined with antidepressants in the treatment of depression in PSD patients. The combined therapy could reduce The depression state and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, and enhance the cognitive function of patients. In addition, low-rTMS had fewer adverse effects, proving safety. However, there are shortcomings, such as a lack of long-term follow-up, different intervention sites of low-rTMS, and different intervention frequencies (0.5 or 1 Hz). Thus, in the future, RCTs with a larger sample size and longer-term observation are require...

Effect of Cathodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Lower Limb Subacute Stroke Rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: In the current pilot study, ctDCS plus CGR was an effective treatment modality to improve lower limb motor function with subacute stroke. The effectiveness of cathodal tDCS in poststroke lower limb motor dysfunction is inconclusive. Therefore, a large randomized controlled trial is needed to verify its effectiveness.PMID:37274448 | PMC:PMC10239296 | DOI:10.1155/2023/1863686
