Aim: Stroke represents a leading cause of mortality and disability globally, yet comprehensive epidemiological analyses for Saudi Arabia remain limited. This study aimed to analyze temporal trends in stroke incidence, mo...

BackgroundStroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Acupuncture has been increasingly integrated into post-stroke rehabilitation programs, yet evidence regarding combined acupuncture protocols rem...

Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a frequent, disabling complication of ischemic stroke. Because acupotomy has limited effects on swallowing and gut–brain axis modulation with probiotics may support neural repair, we perf...

IntroductionElevated HbA1c levels, in combination with comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension, have been linked to increased stroke severity, poorer functional recovery, and higher mortality. However, the predic...

Although the classical language cortex significantly contributes to post-stroke aphasia (PSA), non-language-specific cortex, such as the cerebellum, is increasingly implicated in language. However, the specific contribut...

This review examines the application of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology for motor rehabilitation in patients with severe stroke—a population often excluded from conventional therapies due to minimal movemen...

BackgroundPrevious Studies on prediction models for futile reperfusion after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) related to large vessel occlusion (LVO) have yielded inconsistent results. This ...

Abstract Objective To investigate the associations between thrombus Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level and the systemic inflammatory characteristics in patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS), and to evaluate the...

Abstract Background Subcortical structures are pivotal for cortico-subcortical communication, yet are highly vulnerable to stroke. Damage to these structures can produce widespread cortical dysfunction, but how subcortic...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of skull base-peripheral (SBP) acupuncture in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).MethodsWe searched eight Chinese and English databases from inception to Ju...

BackgroundUpper limb motor dysfunction is common after stroke and substantially restricts independence. Robot-assisted training (RAT) and blood flow restriction training (BFRT) have individually demonstrated potential be...

BackgroundRepetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS), a representative non-invasive neuromodulation technique, is widely utilized for the recovery of motor dysfunction following stroke. Although its clinical effic...

BackgroundEarly and effective intervention is crucial in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) without large- or medium-vessel occlusion (non-LVO/MVO), which accounts for approximately 60–70% of all AIS cases. ...

Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke–heart syndrome, triggered by acute cerebral ischemia, causes autonomic dysfunction that can result in myocardia...

Abstract Background Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been proposed to support post-stroke motor recovery, but evidence for domain-specific behavioral effects and associated neural mechanisms remains l...

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common and detrimental complication following stroke, closely linked to poor outcomes. Emerging evidence implicates gut microbiota dysbiosis and intestinal barrier di...

Abstract Background Impaired upper extremity (UE) function is a major contributor to disability after stroke. Combining robotic devices with functional electrical stimulation (FES) has emerged as a promising hybrid appro...

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) has revolutionized stroke treatment by enabling rapid recanalization of occl...

Abstract Stroke remains a primary cause of disability globally. An in‐depth comprehension of gait impairments following a stroke is vital for crafting effective therapeutic interventions, and vertical ground reaction f...

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) has garnered widespread attention due to its high incidence and its association with increased risk of stroke recurrence and mortality. Growing evidence indicates that early predic...

Abstract Background The EQ‑5D is widely applied to measure patient-reported outcomes, yet its minimally important difference (MID) has not been clearly established across distinct recovery phases after stroke. This stu...

Purpose: To evaluate the association of lipid profile and statin therapy with stroke severity and early functional outcome in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke ...

Abstract Background The lipid accumulation product (LAP), which integrates waist circumference and triglyceride levels, is an effective indicator of excessive fat accumulation. This study aimed to investigate the associa...
