Effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with early intensive rehabilitation training on stroke rehabilitation.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo investigate the efficacy of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with early intensive rehabilitation training on cerebral blood circulation, neurological function recovery, motor performance, and self-care abilities in stroke patients.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 stroke patients admitted to the Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Westlake University from September 2021 to October 2023. Patients were divided into an observation group (n=60) receiving the combined treatment and a control group (n=60) receiving standard rehabilitation. Efficacy was evaluated through the analysis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) levels, as well as assessments of several clinical variables, including Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV), Mean Velocity (Vm), Resistance Index (RI), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). Measurements were taken before treatment and upon completion.
resultsThe findings revealed that the combination of electrical stimulation with early rehabilitation exercises significantly improved cerebral blood flow in stroke patients. This approach accelerated the recovery of neurological functions, enhanced motor skills, and improved self-care capabilities among participants. The results demonstrated substantial treatment benefits alongside a favorable safety profile.
conclusionsThe integration of biofeedback electrical stimulation with intensive rehabilitation exercises significantly enhances neurological and motor function recovery in stroke patients while promoting better self-care skills, all within a safe treatment framework. This approach warrants further clinical research and potential implementation.
