Biologic Mechanisms of Early Exercise After Intracerebral Hemorrhage (BEACH)

Biologic Mechanisms of Early Exercise After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Cycle Ergometry

This study aims to determine whether in-bed cycle ergometry, early in the hospital course after a brain hemorrhage could balance damaging and reparative inflammation in the brain. Inflammatory factors of two groups of patients with brain hemorrhage will be compared, one group will receive in-bed cycling beginning 3 days after hemorrhage plus usual care and the other group will receive usual care only.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Supine cycle ergometry of the lower extremities; Patients will receive two 20 minute cycle ergometry sessions separated by at least 4 hours in addition to usual care. The cycle will be set to a gear of zero and will begin in passive mode, the patient will be able to actively cycle if patients are able.	Device: Supine cycle ergometry of the lower extremities; The cycle ergometer allows for movement of the lower extremities by a motor if a patient is experiencing a disorder of consciousness or is otherwise unable to move one or both legs. If a patient is able to cycle actively the device allows the patient to move patient's legs without support of the motor.
No Intervention: Control; Patients will receive usual care only.
