Investigating the psychological outcomes from endovascular thrombectomy versus intravenous thrombolysis for stroke and from animal-assisted therapy for hospitalised children Keziah May (24163347) PUREID: 218320023 neuropsychology paediatrics stroke therapy This thesis comprises a systematic literature review investigating the effect of animal-assisted therapy for anxiety and pain in hospitalised children and a research paper comparing the effects of endovascular thrombectomy versus intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. Findings from the systematic review suggest that animal-assisted therapy significantly reduced the hospitalised children’s self-report anxiety although increased their heart-rate compared to controls. The original research paper found that those in the thrombectomy group were performed significantly better in terms of delayed memory compared to the thrombolysis group with a large effect size. 2026-10-01T17:30:48Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32629833.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Investigating_the_psychological_outcomes_from_endovascular_thrombectomy_versus_intravenous_thrombolysis_for_stroke_and_from_animal-assisted_therapy_for_hospitalised_children/32629833 All Rights Reserved
