Electroencephalogram (EEG) in Differentiation Between Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke and Its Role as a Predictor of Post-stroke Recovery
Searching electrical activity registered by EEG in acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and comparing these parameters to the post-stroke recovery patterns to investigate the role of EEG as a differentiation tool and as a predictor of post-stroke recovery.
Inclusion: Age above 18 and below 80 years; Acute Ischemic stroke: ischemic arteria cerebri media infarct confirmed by MRI; Acute Hemorrhagic stroke: spontaneous intraparenchymal bleeding confirmed by CT; Stroke onset <72 hours before expected time of performing EEG; First-ever ischemic stroke; Measurable deficit on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS); Able to give and sign informed consent.
Exclusion: Previous neurological procedure (metallic implant, brain pace, cranial operation history); Alcohol or drug addiction; Patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic haemorrhage (epidural/subdural bleeding), cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, indication for urgent neurosurgical intervention; History of other central nervous system diseases; Injury or active infection of electrode cap placement area; Claustrophobia; recognition disorder; Significant physical impairment that would restrict the ability to use the portable EEG devices; Presence of malignancy or systemic rheumatic disease; Non-stroke disease or lesion affecting the sensorimotor system; Presence of Malignancy; Presence of severe cognitive impairment; History of epilepsy or taking medication due to epilepsy; Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs); Greater than 72 hours past the initial insult; Any signs unfit for MRI/EEG scan; Known skull defect or head trauma; Presence of pump/shunt.
