Stroke Rehabilitation: A Systemized and Hierarchized Rehabilitation Program for the Brazilian Unified Health System

Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to systemize and hierarchize a rehabilitation program for the Brazilian Unified Health System in patients with stroke above 18 years of age and of both sexes. The main question it aims to answer is: * Do patients with ischemic first episode of stroke have central nervous systems consequences due to peripheral and central nervous system sensibilization? * Can stroke patients benefit from a systemized and hierarchized rehabilitation program with desensibilization interventions combined with multidisciplinary and educational programs? We will randomize 60 patients, 30 in each study arm. Researchers will compare the intervention group with an active control whose treatment is the institutional conventional program to see if innovative desensibilization strategies yield superior results. Authors will also investigate the role of genetic polymorphism and ancestrality in the outcome measures. Participants will undertake an innovative or conventional rehabilitation program, according to the randomization.
