Levodopa treatment improves functional recovery after experimental stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Delayed treatment of patients with stroke with levodopa/benserazide contributes to enhanced functional recovery, but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. The present study was designed to investigate if levodopa/benserazide treatment improves recovery of lost neurological function and contributes to tissue reorganization in the rat brain after stroke. METHODS ...
متن کاملFunctional recovery in aging mice after experimental stroke.
Aging is a non-modifiable risk factor for stroke. Since not all strokes can be prevented, a major emerging area of research is the development of effective strategies to enhance functional recovery after stroke. However, in the vast majority of pre-clinical stroke studies, the behavioral tests used to assess functional recovery have only been validated for use in young animals, or are designed ...
متن کاملAcute Statin Treatment Improves Recovery after Experimental Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We have previously demonstrated that 2-week treatment of experimental intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with a daily dose of 2 mg/kg statin starting 24 hours post-injury exerts a neuroprotective effect. The present study extends our previous investigation and tests the effect of acute high-dose (within 24 hours) statin therapy on experimental ICH. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fift...
متن کاملLevodopa plus carbidopa before physiotherapy increased motor recovery after stroke.
Intervention Patients were allocated to levodopa, 100 mg, plus carbidopa (n=26) or to placebo (n=27) given daily in the morning > 30 minutes before the physiotherapy session for 3 weeks. For the next 3 weeks, both groups had 1 hour of daily physiotherapy from Monday to Friday without the allocated treatment. 1 week before and during the study, all patients stopped receiving any drugs that affec...
متن کاملMultisensory stimulation improves functional recovery and resting-state functional connectivity in the mouse brain after stroke
Stroke causes direct structural damage to local brain networks and indirect functional damage to distant brain regions. Neuroplasticity after stroke involves molecular changes within perilesional tissue that can be influenced by regions functionally connected to the site of injury. Spontaneous functional recovery can be enhanced by rehabilitative strategies, which provides experience-driven cel...
