🎉 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

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.

The power of AI in stroke care is transforming outcomes for patients across England! 🧠 The nationwide rollout of AI-powered software in all 107 NHS stroke centres is associated with a tripling of the number of patients who recover with little or no disability, from 16% to 48%.
This incredible result is achieved by drastically reducing the time from hospital arrival to treatment by over an hour: amazing stuff. For recent survivors like postman Shawn Theoff from Canterbury, this rapid, AI-enhanced diagnosis was a lifeline
After suffering a stroke, he was rushed to hospital, where the AI software helped doctors quickly identify his blood clot and administer treatment. Thanks to the speed of this AI intervention, Shawn made a rapid recovery, regaining movement and sensation, and was back home in less than 48 hours.
His story demonstrates the profound impact that technology can have in saving not just lives, but also quality of life for stroke survivors.
To give you an example btw, the picture above shows on the left of each screen what 90% of doctors see using CT scans, versus the right hand side screen which shows the new technology, which identifies the problem areas automatically using the ASPECTS score card method✨

Did you know that recent preclinical and trial data show significant promise for nanotechnology in stroke treatment, especially in overcoming the major hurdle of the blood-brain barrier (BBB)?! 🧠🔬
To fill you in; nanoparticles are being researched for stroke treatment to improve targeted drug delivery, neuroprotection, and imaging. These tiny particles can cross the blood-brain barrier, deliver drugs directly to the site of the stroke, and are being used in preclinical studies to enhance the effectiveness of clot-busting drugs, provide antioxidant protection, modulate inflammation and extending the narrow therapeutic window.
Different approaches, including polymeric nanoparticles, cell membrane-derived nanovesicles and inorganic NPs, have demonstrated the ability to reduce infarct volume, protect against oxidative stress and improve neurological outcomes in animal models.
However, for this promise to translate successfully into clinical practice, researchers need to enhance the efficiency of nanoparticles delivery systems, ensuring consistent and predictable targeting to the lesion site.
Moreover, simplifying complex formulations and addressing long-term safety concerns, including potential toxicity and clearance mechanisms, are critical next steps before this innovative therapy can benefit stroke patients on a large scale.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says 'Roll on Nano-futures!' ✨
