RECOVERY STUDIES

Cerebral Spinal Fluid Study
Purpose: The Cerebral Spinal Fluid Study looks at the immune cells and proteins found in cerebral spinal fluid, which coats the site of the stroke. We are studying these immune cells and proteins to look for the presence of brain inflammation and to learn if the inflammation is related to memory loss after stroke. We aim to use this research to develop treatments that reduce brain inflammation and prevent memory loss in stroke survivors.
Eligibility: Participants without a history of back surgery and bleeding disorders and are not taking blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (aside from aspirin).
Study Schedule: Participants will come to Stanford for a one time spinal fluid collection and then annually, for at least 3 years, for memory and thinking tests and a small blood draw.
Status: Enrollment on hold because of the COVID pandemic
PI: Marion Buckwalter, MD, PhD

StrokeCog
Purpose: StrokeCog observes the long-term effects of stroke on a person’s memory and thinking and whether immune responses play a role in changes to memory and thinking after stroke. We hope to use this research to see if there are immune therapies that can be developed to target memory and thinking problems after stroke.
Eligibility: Patients who’ve had a stroke within the past 6-12 months. 
Study Schedule: Participants will come to Stanford annually, for  at least 3 years, to undergo some memory and thinking tests and a small blood draw.

vREHAB (Virtual Reality Glove for Hand and Arm Rehabilitation After Stroke)
Purpose: vREHAB examines whether the Neofect Smart Glove (a virtual reality biofeedback glove) is an effective, home-based rehabilitation tool for recovering stroke survivors. Participants use the smart glove to interact with a tablet pre-loaded with games and activities that are similar to standard therapy exercises and motions related to activities of daily living.
Eligibility: Patients who’ve have a stroke within the past 30 days.
Study Schedule: Participants will come to Stanford within 30 days of their stroke, and 6, 12, and 24 weeks after their first in-person visit (4 in-person visits in total).
Status: Enrollment on hold because of the COVID pandemic
PI: Maarten Lansberg, MD, PhD; Kara Flavin MD

STRONG (Genetic Variation, Stress, and Functional Outcomes After Stroke Rehabilitation)
Purpose: STRONG studies how genes and stress interact with rehabilitation therapy to affect recovery. There is wide variability in how well people recover after stroke while in rehab and we hope to better understand the biological factors causing this variability. With this research, we hope to better understand how people recover from stroke and to help individualize future rehabilitation care.
Eligibility: Patients who’ve had a stroke within the past 2-10 days.
Study Schedule: Participants will come to Stanford within 2-10 days of their stroke for a short in-person visit and 3, 6, and 12 months after their first visit.
Status: Enrollment Closed
PI: Maarten Lansberg, MD

The Rehab Glove study
Purpose:  We have developed a wireless, computerized glove that stroke survivors with hand weakness and spasticity can wear during daily life.  The Rehab Glove provides gentile, vibratory stimulation to your affected hand.  No exercises are required.  We hope that the Rehab Glove will reduce spasticity and improve hand function after stroke.
Eligibility: Patients who have suffered a stroke at least 6 months ago and who have spasticity in their hand (fingers that curl up or form a fist).
Study Schedule: Participants will come to Stanford every two weeks for four to eight months.
Status: Enrollment on hold because of the COVID pandemic
