Recovering After a Stroke: Is it ever too late?

Brain scans of a post-stroke patient

Across the globe, stroke is the second leading cause of mortality and the third most frequent cause of disability. Survivors are frequently left with motor function challenges as well as cognitive impairments. Most stroke survivors are told not to expect many improvements to their condition after the first six months.

Now there is new hope. The Aviv Medical Program is a 12-week on-site medical treatment with therapies clinically proven to reverse impairments associated with stroke. With this program, Aviv Clinics is helping stroke survivors restore cognitive and physical vitality and regain some of their capabilities — even several years after their stroke.

    Backed by nearly two decades of research, our personalized program can combine therapies like cognitive exercises, physical training and nutritional interventions with a unique hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol to treat the body and brain after a stroke.

    The program helps restore independence in stroke survivors, even years after traditional therapies have stopped offering improvements.

    Benefits of the program include improvements in:

    – Cognitive and motor functioning

    – Memory, attention, focus, and clarity

    – Information processing speed and speech

    – Coordination, balance, and gait

    A 3-Step Process:

    1. In-depth medical assessment: Our board-certified physicians diagnose the severity of the brain injury caused by the stroke, using the most advanced tests suited to your needs. Our medical team may also conduct physical, cognitive, and neurological tests to assess your capabilities and suitability for treatment.
    2. Tailored treatment program: We use your results to develop a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan. Crafted by our clinical team, this individualized plan can include a combination of cognitive and physical training, dietary coaching, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) sessions,  with additional therapies available based on your personal recovery needs and goals.
    3. Post-treatment assessment: At your request, we can repeat the tests from the initial assessment to measure your improvements and make recommendations for ongoing progress.

Aviv Clinics is changing the lives of stroke victims, one patient at a time.

Backed by nearly two decades of research, the Aviv team created the Aviv Medical Program under the scientific leadership of Dr. Shai Efrati, Director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at the Shamir Medical Center in Israel, one of the world’s most advanced hyperbaric facilities. Thousands of clients have successfully been treated with the Aviv protocol to date.

Stroke and HBOT:
Clear, Proven Research

Recent clinical studies at the Shamir Medical Center have evaluated the effects of HBOT on patients suffering from neurological deficiencies caused by stroke.

In the latest research headed by Dr. Amir Hadanny and Dr. Shai Efrati, the team evaluated the effects of HBOT on the world’s largest cohort of stroke patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 162 patients who were treated with HBOT for chronic stroke (three or more months after the insult) between 2008-2018 at the Sagol Center.

Overall, clinical evidence suggests that treatment with a specialized hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol can induce brain neuroplasticity and improve memory, attention, executive function, information processing speed and motor skills in post-stroke patients, even years after the initial stroke. The clinical improvements were achieved regardless of the type of stroke or where it occurred in the brain.

The hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol used in these studies is only available in the United States as part of the Aviv Medical Program.
