It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke and have weakness on one side.
HanoiAges 18–80 - NCT07299994Recruiting
Intravenous thrombolysis for specific brain strokes
This trial tests whether a clot-busting drug given through a vein can help people with certain types of deep brain strokes that happen in small arteries. It looks at patients who can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07203625RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase before transfer for basilar artery stroke
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called Tenecteplase helps people with a severe type of stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) when given 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. Patients will then be moved to a hospital that can remove the clot. The goal is to see if the drug improves recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06674356Recruiting
Chin tuck exercise for swallowing after stroke
This trial tests a simple neck exercise (chin tuck against resistance) to help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this exercise improves swallowing safety and strength.
TaipeiAges 18–100 - NCT07049692Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal study
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 35–75 - NCT06212674RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention: combined heart procedure for atrial fibrillation
This study tests a combined approach — a catheter ablation to fix the irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and a device to close the left atrial appendage — in people who recently had a stroke caused by a clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes and reduce the need for long-term blood thinners.
Katowice, Upper SilesiaAges 18–75 - NCT05976685Recruiting
Close the left atrial appendage after stroke despite blood thinners
This study tests whether closing a heart pouch called the left atrial appendage can prevent future strokes in people with atrial fibrillation who had an ischemic stroke even while taking blood thinners. It may help reduce stroke risk by blocking a common place where clotting can start.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07389460RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a clot-busting drug before thrombectomy for stroke
This trial tests giving a clot-dissolving medicine (rhPro-UK) through a vein before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago and are already scheduled for clot removal. The goal is to see if the medicine helps improve blood flow and outcomes.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT05832762Recruiting
Clot-buster procedure for blocked neck artery stroke
This trial studies whether an emergency clot-removal procedure through the blood vessels (endovascular treatment) helps people who have a stroke caused by a blocked internal carotid artery in the neck. It compares outcomes in patients treated urgently when imaging shows the blockage is likely the main cause.
Montpellier, FanceAges 18 years+ - NCT05199662RecruitingPhase 3
IV clot-busting medicine for stroke when standard options don’t fit
This trial tests whether giving IV TNK (tenecteplase) plus standard stroke care can improve outcomes in some people who have a new stroke but cannot get alteplase (another clot-busting drug) and do not have a large blocked artery that can be treated with a procedure. It’s meant for strokes with “mismatch” findings on scans that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07509645RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug with clot removal for severe back-of-the-brain stroke
This trial checks if adding an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (a drug that reduces inflammation) to standard emergency clot removal can improve recovery for people with a severe stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It is for patients who need urgent treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset.
Huaibei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT04916197RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine sedation after stroke clot removal
This Phase 4 study tests whether using a specific calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) for a longer period after a successful clot-removal procedure helps people do better in the long term. It may help improve outcomes after ischemic stroke where the clot is successfully treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06545591Recruiting
Predicting stroke treatment success with a blood test
This trial studies a blood marker called sTREM to see if it can help predict outcomes after a mechanical clot removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for large-vessel stroke. If you have had a stroke due to a large artery blockage within the last 24 hours and plan to have this procedure, you may be able to join.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07740018Recruiting
Stroke treatment study for blocked brain arteries
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
SohagAges 18–80 - NCT07727395RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug after successful clot removal for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
An GiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06629116Recruiting
Albumin treatment for large strokes after thrombectomy
This trial tests if giving a protein called albumin after a large stroke can improve recovery. Albumin may help reduce brain swelling and damage. You may qualify if you had a large stroke in the front part of the brain, got a clot-removal procedure, and meet certain age and health criteria.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06645405Recruiting
AI scan reading for stroke caused by large vessel blockage
This trial tests whether an AI program can better read CT scans to find large blood vessel blockages that cause stroke. If you had a stroke from a blocked large vessel and already had CT scans, the AI may help doctors decide on treatment faster.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–95 - NCT06691230Recruiting
Looking at blood flow after stroke clot removal
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07635758RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem Cell Treatment for Recent Stroke Recovery
This trial tests whether special cells from human placenta can help your brain recover after a recent stroke. The treatment is given as an injection and aims to reduce long-term disability.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07626450Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal treatment
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07594301RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline after successful stroke clot removal in the back brain
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline can reduce brain damage after doctors successfully remove a blood clot from the back of the brain (posterior circulation stroke) using a catheter procedure. The drug may help protect brain tissue and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07555977Recruiting
Clot removal methods for acute ischemic stroke
This trial compares two ways of removing a blood clot from a large artery in the brain during an ischemic stroke. It might help you by finding out which method restores blood flow more safely and effectively.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06663631RecruitingPhase 1
Hibernation-like therapy for stroke recovery after clot removal
This trial tests if a hibernation-like therapy can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who are having a stroke and are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06749106Recruiting
Using MRI to find bleeding in neck artery plaque
