Yes, bleeding in the brain is a known risk of tenecteplase for minor stroke, but it appears uncommon; a few fatal cases have been reported, mostly in people with poorly controlled high blood pressure [9][10][11].
Read the full answer →Yes, sex differences exist: women with NVAF-related stroke tend to have worse short-term outcomes, but after adjusting for age and other factors, their long-term mortality risk may be lower.
Read the full answer →Yes, machine learning can help predict aphasia recovery after stroke, with models achieving around 80% accuracy using factors like aphasia severity, cognitive performance, and education.
Read the full answer →AI models show high sensitivity for distinguishing hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke, with pooled data indicating 90.6% sensitivity for hemorrhagic cases.
Read the full answer →A 12-week dance program significantly improved quality of life and cognitive scores in chronic stroke patients, whereas the control group's scores declined over the same period.
Read the full answer →About 32% of chronic stroke participants experienced musculoskeletal adverse events during moderate- to high-intensity walking training.
Read the full answer →Six weeks of reactive balance training is feasible for adults with chronic stroke and does not increase anxiety, though specific fall-risk improvements depend on individual function.
Read the full answer →Yes, repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) can improve upper limb motor function, daily living, and spasticity after stroke, especially when combined with other therapies.
Read the full answer →Yes, a 2026 review found that only 49.6% of Chinese herbal medicine trials for acute stroke reported safety outcomes, compared to 83.6% of Western medicine trials.
Read the full answer →For ischemic stroke with swallowing trouble, intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) may be better than nasogastric tube feeding (NG) for improving nutrition, swallowing function, and reducing pneumonia, but discuss options with your doctor.
Read the full answer →Yes, women have lower 5-year survival after ischemic stroke with atrial fibrillation, but recurrence rates do not differ significantly between sexes.
Read the full answer →Yes, higher levels of TNF pathway proteins are linked to an increased risk of recurrent ischemic stroke, according to a large meta-analysis.
Read the full answer →Yes, a prediction model using clinical and imaging factors can estimate the risk of futile recanalization after endovascular thrombectomy, but it is not perfectly accurate.
Read the full answer →TMAO levels above approximately 3.8 µM (median) or in the highest quartile are linked to worse outcomes after acute ischemic stroke, including higher risk of poor functional recovery and major ischemic events.
Read the full answer →Yes, certain neuroimaging biomarkers like lower ASPECTS scores and poor collateral status can help predict futile recanalization after thrombectomy, but no single marker is definitive.
Read the full answer →Yes, targeting ferroptosis shows promise for treating stroke and Alzheimer's by reducing iron-driven cell death, but research is still early and no treatments are approved yet.
Read the full answer →Yes, combining robot training with acupuncture significantly improves motor function, gait, and daily living in stroke recovery, based on multiple studies.
Read the full answer →Use an actigraphy or consumer wearable to track sleep patterns, then share the data with your doctor to tailor insomnia treatment based on your specific sleep profile.
Read the full answer →Yes, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) paired with rehabilitation significantly improves motor function after stroke, based on a meta-analysis of 10 RCTs.
