A new breakthrough in stroke treatment is here! Stanford scientists have created a spinning micro-device that removes brain clots with unmatched precision, potentially doubling survival rates for stroke patients.
This could become a life-saving tool in hospitals worldwide where every second counts in stroke response.
Unlike traditional procedures, this device spins to break apart clots without harming delicate brain tissue, drastically improving recovery chances. Doctors believe its minimally invasive design could also reduce long-term disability, giving patients not just survival but quality of life back.
With strokes being a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, this innovation could save millions of lives and set a new gold standard for emergency brain care. No wonder experts are calling it one of the most promising advances in neurosurgery in the past decade. 🚑✨

I have a very real question.
Neuroplasticity is activated by experience and massed practice; which requires repetition and consistency. Each time a task is practiced, it stimulates the brain and strengthens the neural connections responsible for that task. (This is how children learn how to walk, write, and talk). The same concept applies to stroke rehabilitation. When a survivor struggles with leg movement, for example, they can work to regain function by practicing leg exercises on a consistent basis. This helps improve the brain’s ability to send signals to the leg that tell it when to move, improving efficiency and overall function.
Repetition and consistency are the key to stroke recovery.

Who knows what you can achieve if you have no set boundaries? There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t ‘Do It Yourself’ to a large extent, after you reach some significant functional milestones, avoiding spending thousands on expensive clinical neuro physiotherapy in the process.

I tend to use the acronym 'DIY' sometimes too Pam (Don't Involve Yourself) 😉 Tom
I use the acronym AIMS - All or any improvement means something..... Small goals, small steps and trying out things. When I find I can't do something I know I need to work on it

🎉 Amazing news from Nottingham! The Queen's Medical Centre (QMC) is now providing mechanical thrombectomy 24 hours a day, seven days a week for severe stroke patients! 🧠This lifesaving procedure, as you know, restores blood flow to the brain and can drastically improve outcomes and reduce lifelong disability.
This is a huge step forward for the East Midlands, and ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that it's a service that truly needs to be echoed in every hospital across the UK that treats stroke survivors, regardless of the time of day.
No one should face a lifetime of disability because their stroke happened 'out of hours'. Time is brain, and this 24/7 access is a game-changer; good stuff.#ARNIstrokerehabc#strokeawarenessh#thrombectomyr#QMCs#NHSr#strokerecovery##timeisbrainecovery #TimeIsBrain
This is what I had , I was one of two people that had this prosedure done in 2023 , it was an Amasing outcome they said I was a miracle . Thank you to the specialist team that had come to knottingham for me . ❤️🙏
Rake lane could not even follow a pathway to diagnose a pca stroke.
Surely any stroke is severe. I was lucky? Had my stroke on a Sunday, got clot busters locally and rushed the Brum QE for a thrombecomy. Yes it should be available nationally with more funds for OTs the speech therapists
I had my thrombectomy there October 2022, it needs to nationwide
Game changer that would save NHS a fortune. I was just too late for the clot buster but best to remove clot
I’m 6 years post stroke it took my balance and my life isant the same is it too late for me
Brilliant news but like others needs to be nation wide
Brilliant news
Great news.. sadly too late for my hubby..
Bit too latefor some unfortunately but great news as an advance in treating this horrible illness
Brilliant news but again as long as strokes are actually diagnosed in the first place..... But also definitely needs to be nationwide.
Our hospital didn’t even give me a brain scan until the following day as they said it wasn’t manned Thursday evenings. Just left me in a side room for 9 hrs to deteriorate from walking in to being paralysed and lifetime limitations. I’m here to tell the tale though and to see beautiful grandchildren arrive 💜
Agree with you, definitely needs to be available countrywide.
What can be done 3 years post stroke
Can you help after 9 years
5 years after stroke. Right hand side heavy and lightheaded when standing. I’m only 24 miles from Nottingham but in Lincolnshire. Can they help?
Neurological research has highlighted cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) arising after a stroke, like Jay Charles @ #ARNIstrokerehab had, though it remains a rare sequelae. 🧠
The sudden, electric shock-like facial pain characteristic of TN can occur when a stroke lesion in the brainstem, particularly the lateral medulla or pons, disrupts the central trigeminal nerve pathways.
While robust UK-specific data on the exact post-stroke frequency is scarce due to its rarity, studies confirm that damage to these neural structures can precipitate TN-like symptoms. The primary medication for treating TN, whether post-stroke or otherwise, is the anticonvulsant carbamazepine, which helps to calm overactive nerve impulses, but has a dose-dependent risk of stroke with it, as to other anti-epileptic drugs, like Valproate.
Other antiepileptic/nerve pain drugs like gabapentin, oxcarbazepine, and pregabalin may also be prescribed, often after specialist consultation, especially if carbamazepine is ineffective or not tolerated (these can all cause one to gain weight if not ultra-careful as they tend to slow your metabolism down).

TIME TO GET GOING – EXERCISE REWIRES YOUR BRAIN
“If we put exercise into a drug, it would be one of the most effective medications to prevent vascular disease and treat patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases including stroke.” Yep. This statement is reinforced by the finding that exercise interventions are significantly more effective than drug treatments in both rehabilitation and reducing the odds of mortality among stroke survivors.
Inactivity related to stroke has a load of physiological consequences that result in cardiovascular deconditioning, increased cardiovascular risk and increased mortality and morbidity risk.
It has been found that due to stroke, you can even be half as cardiovascularly fit compared to someone who hasn’t.

💔 A major UK study has just delivered a sobering but important finding regarding the antipsychotic drug Risperidone, commonly used to manage severe agitation in dementia patients, as well as treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or irritability associated with autistic disorder.
The research, which analysed data from over 165,000 individuals, revealed that Risperidone raises the risk of stroke in dementia patients universally, challenging previous assumptions
that some patients might be less vulnerable. 🧠
Even those with no prior history of heart disease or stroke showed an increased risk. This has serious implications for mental health treatment in vulnerable populations.
While Risperidone can be crucial for managing extreme distress in care settings, clinicians must now carefully balance its benefits against this confirmed, non-negotiable stroke risk, even in patients previously considered low-risk.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK notes that these findings highlight the urgent need for dementia-specific monitoring guidelines and better non-pharmacological interventions to manage agitation and mental health symptoms.

Interesting! Carbamazepine for trigeminal neuralgia, a complication I have from strokes, also increases the risk of ischemic stroke! I refused to take it and insisted on a alternative for this very reason.
Good morning!
