  • Publication number: 20200316289
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for improving thrombolysis via synergetic application of thrombolytics with physical factors, such as in acute ischemic stroke patients. Vibration in the low (0.5-120 Hz) frequency range is synergistic with tissue plasminogen activators (rtPA), significantly improving the effectiveness of thrombolysis without impairing blood brain barrier permeability. Administration of low frequency vibration combined with rtPA improve acute ischemic stroke outcomes.
