...usually takes more than a touch of magic to cure an illness, but a Harvard Medical School (HMS) study has found that wand-waving may actually help stroke patients recover. The study of 10 stroke patients, conducted by HMS neurologist Dr. Felipe Fregni and co-authors at the medical school, found that placing magnetic wands over the heads of stroke patients can help them to regain lost motor skills. The non-invasive therapy, called transcranial magnetic simulation (TMS), uses a figure eight-shaped coil to deliver weak, pulsating electrical currents to specific areas of the brain. When the therapy...
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)—a Harvard Medical School-affiliated teaching hospital—have found that many eligible stroke victims do not receive an important clot-dissolving drug on time, significantly increasing their risk of disability. The study is part of a larger research project into hospitals’ performance in quality improvement campaigns for stroke patients, including the American Stroke Association-based “Get With the Guidelines.” It will appear in the November issue of the journal Stroke. The drug in question, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), is the only...
