Doc here. Not negative on this story, but it is completely false to say 0/18 would have improvement with standard care. Patients frequently improve from strokes; some quite rapidly. Maybe you had a typo?

The next step is intervention versus placebo. Strokes are very common. It should be easy to find patients to enroll.

Hopefully this will turn out to work and be worth the cost.

1 year after the stroke, the difference in a month is very limited in my experience. I am not a doc, but I've crunched some numbers related to this topic, what was your experience?
