AI to improve stroke care after hospital admission
This trial uses artificial intelligence (computer tools that help analyze information) to improve stroke care for people admitted quickly after symptoms start. It may help hospitals make faster or better care decisions, based on patient details and follow-up results.
TromsøAges 18 years+ - NCT06864741Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for stroke patients
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can help people who have had a stroke recover arm movement. You will play specially designed VR games while in the hospital or at home to see if it improves your arm function.
Kentville, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06443268Recruiting
Stroke and quality of life study with caregivers
This study looks at quality of life for people who have had a recent stroke or mini-stroke, and their caregivers. You and a close relative or friend both take part in interviews and surveys over time.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07754110Recruiting
A therapy for balance and coordination after stroke
This study tests a therapy called HABIT-ILE to see if it helps improve balance and coordination in people who have had a stroke. If you have had a stroke affecting one side of your body, this might help you move better.
Mansehra, KpkAges 40–60 - NCT05683873Recruiting
Study of heart stress after stroke using a blood marker
This study looks at how heart function changes soon after a new stroke, and whether a blood marker called GDF-15 can help explain or predict that change. It may help doctors better monitor heart stress after stroke and tailor care sooner.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06817642Recruiting
Language recovery in stroke patients in intensive care
This study tests a new language assessment tool to predict how well stroke patients may recover their ability to speak and understand language. It may help identify who could benefit from early speech therapy.
CréteilAges 18–85 - NCT06094569Recruiting
Screening for stroke in the back of the brain
This study uses MRI scans to find strokes caused by blockages in the arteries at the back of the brain. It may help doctors learn more about these strokes and how to better care for people who have them.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07345702Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for large core posterior stroke
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03291652Recruiting
Imaging study of high-risk brain plaque in stroke
This study uses MRI and ultrasound to look closely at brain artery plaques that may release clots and cause stroke. It aims to better understand which plaque features signal higher “embolus” risk, which could guide future care.
Hong KongAges 30–85 - NCT03295773Recruiting
Study brain artery narrowing after stroke using 3D imaging
This study follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT04339699Recruiting
PFO closure comparison trial for cryptogenic stroke
This trial studies ways to close a patent foramen ovale (PFO) to help prevent another stroke in people whose prior stroke had an unknown cause. If you qualify, you may receive one of the PFO closure approaches the study is comparing.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–60 - NCT05545605Recruiting
Sodium oligomannate to prevent thinking problems after stroke
