	Ultrasound Monitoring of Stroke Patients
		William M. Hammesfahr, M.D.,who practices neurology in Clearwater, Florida, advocates aggressive treatment of stroke patients with drugs to open the constricted blood vessels in an attempt to improve blood flow to the affected areas.
		Hammesfahr's Web site also recommended TCD testing of "every patient who has a neurological deficit be evaluated for a vascular involvement and treated regardless of age or chronicity of the deficit." He claims that the test enables him to identify people at risk for vasospastic stroke before any clinical signs are apparent.
		Although Hammesfahr states that the patients performed better when TCD measurement showed increased cerebral blood flow, the test protocol lacked controls -- so it is not possible to be certain that his observations were meaningful.
