MIT: Muscle 'synergies' may be key to stroke treatment
Researchers at MIT and San Camillo Hospital in Venice, Italy, have shown that motor impairments in stroke patients can be understood as impairments in specific combinations of muscle activity, known as synergies. view more (2009-10-21)
Depression As A Cause Of Stroke
Middle-aged men are over three times more likely to suffer a fatal stroke if they suffer from depression, according to latest research published in `Stroke`. The results are taken from an on-going study, funded by The Stroke Association, of 2,124 men aged between 49-64 years old, living in Caerphilly, South Wales. The men were studied for over 14... view more... (2002-01-10)
Brain protein improves stroke symptoms in rats, even when injected after 3 days
A protein naturally occurring in the brain improves recovery from stroke when injected up to three days after the onset of the stroke, and could be used as an effective stroke drug. view more (2006-10-18)
Can brain-injured, partially-blind stroke patients regain some of their lost vision?
Is it possible to offer hope for stroke patients who've lose part of their vision? A study published by SAGE in the journal Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair explores that question. view more (2007-09-05)
Blood pressure variability increases risk for stroke death
Erratic blood pressure during the first hours after a stroke dramatically lowers the chances of survival. That's the finding of a Mayo Clinic study published in the current issue of the journal Neurology. view more (2006-06-28)
Mild to severe heart muscle impairment linked to higher stroke risk
Mild, often symptomless, impaired heart function may predispose a person to ischemic stroke, investigators report in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2006-06-02)
Urgent Surgery Is Not Always Necessary To Treat Stroke Caused By Brain Haemorrhage
The results of a major international Medical Research Council (MRC) trial, undertaken in collaboration with the Stroke Association, show that early surgery is not always the best treatment for one of the commonest and most lethal forms of stroke. The results of the trial, published in this week's edition of The Lancet, will help doctors decide the... view more... (2005-01-27)
Drug linked to increase in brain hemorrhage cases
The rate of brain hemorrhages associated with blood thinning drugs quintupled during the 1990s, according to a study published in the January 9, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. In people over age 80, the rate increased more than tenfold. view more (2007-01-09)
Study finds that obstructive sleep apnea causes earlier death in stroke patients
Stroke victims who have obstructive sleep apnea die sooner than stroke victims who do not have sleep apnea or who have central sleep apnea, according to Swedish researchers. view more (2008-05-19)
Robotic technology improves stroke rehabilitation
Research scientists using a novel, hand-operated robotic device and functional MRI (fMRI) have found that chronic stroke patients can be rehabilitated, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-03)
£250,000 for clinical trials of functional strength training for the lower limb
The University of Manchester and St George's Hospital Medical School, in collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University, have been awarded £250,000 by the PPP Foundation to carry out clinical pilot studies into functional strength training of lower limbs in patients who have suffered a stroke. As a cure for a stroke is not yet on the... view more... (2003-01-22)
Mayo Clinic Researchers Find Previous Exercise Helps Stroke Patients Recover Faster
A person who has exercised regularly prior to the onset of a stroke appears to recover more quickly, say researchers from Mayo Clinic in Florida, who led a national study. view more (2009-07-17)
Initial type and frequency of migraine influences women’s stroke risk
The risk of ischaemic stroke is significantly increased in women whose first ever migraines were accompanied by aura, finds research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2002-11-18)
Quicker and easier rehabilitation following a stroke
By artificially vibrating certain muscle parts, the brain areas and neuronal pathways responsible for movement can be trained. This has the potential to help stroke patients recover their mobility more quickly. These are the results of PhD research by Maarten Steyvers of the Department of Kinesiology, K.U.Leuven. view more (2004-06-11)
High triglycerides, other cholesterol raise risk of stroke
People with high triglycerides and another type of cholesterol tested but not usually evaluated as part of a person's risk assessment have an increased risk of a certain type of stroke. view more (2007-12-27)
Dying of excitement
For neurons, overexcitement is deadly. To avoid this, brain cells must sop up unneeded neurotransmitters from the synapse through membrane-bound transporters. If these transporters fail, neurons and other brain cells get excited to death- a phenomenon that may contribute to brain damage during stroke and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-03-06)
High alcohol consumption increases stroke risk, Tulane study says
In a study likely applicable to men of other ethnicities, Tulane University researchers found that heavy drinking (more than 21 drinks per week) may increase the risk of stroke in Chinese men. view more (2007-08-21)
Leukemia drug could save lives of stroke patients
The drug tPA is the most effective treatment currently available for stroke patients, but its safety is limited to use within the first three hours following the onset of symptoms. view more (2008-06-23)

Women Less Likely to Have a Stroke After Mini-Stroke
That first "mini-stroke" may be more of a benign event for women than men, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Yale University. The findings underscore the need to continue researching gender differences in disease prevention and follow-up care. view more (2009-02-24)
