| Abstract |
Eye-movement training (EMT) can induce altered brain activation and change the functionality of saccades with changes of the brain in general. To determine if EMT would result in changes in quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) in patients suffering from acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. Our hypothesis is that there would be positive changes in qEEG and NIHSS after EMT in patients suffering from acute MCA ischemic stroke. Double-blind randomized controlled trial. Thirty-four subjects with acute MCA ischemic stroke treated at university affiliated hospital intensive care unit. Subjects were randomized into a "control" group treated only with aspirin (125 mg/day) and a "treatment" group treated with aspirin (125 mg/day) and a subject-specific EMT. Delta-alpha ratio, power ratio index, and the brain symmetry index calculated by qEEG and NIHSS. There was strong statistical and substantive significant improvement in all outcome measures for the group of stroke patients undergoing EMT. Such improvement was not observed for the "control" group, and there were no adverse effects. The addition of EMT to a MCA ischemic stroke treatment paradigm has demonstrated statistically significant changes in outcome measures and is a low cost, safe, and effective complement to standard treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 31. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 February 2024.
All research outputs
#1,277,199
of 25,350,078 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#424
of 14,448 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,495
of 408,071 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#3
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,350,078 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,448 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 408,071 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
