Early control of elevated blood pressure is the most promising treatment for acute intracerebral haemorrhage. We aimed to establish whether implementing a goal-directed care bundle incorporating protocols early intensive lowering and management algorithms hyperglycaemia, pyrexia, abnormal anticoagulation, implemented in hospital setting, could improve outcomes patients with spontaneous
Objective Investigate feasibility and acceptability of prism adaptation training for people with inattention (spatial neglect), early after stroke, during usual care. Design Phase II randomised controlled trial 3:1 stratified allocation to standard occupational therapy or without intervention, nested process evaluation. Setting Ten hospital sites providing in-patient stroke services. Participants Screened positive more than one-week post-stroke; informal carers. Occupational therapists...
Abstract Objectives Spatial neglect, a debilitating cognitive syndrome and predictor of poor functional outcome, affects attention awareness after stroke. Early rehabilitation is essential but neglect itself may impede participation in therapy. In proof-of-concept study nested within an RCT, we investigated whether the oft-reported immediate effects prism adaptation training (PAT) might enable engagement if introduced at start occupational therapy session. Methods stroke video-recorded...
