Fuzhou, FujianAges 35–75 - NCT05911568Recruiting
Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05930145Recruiting
Two clot-retrievers versus one for acute stroke treatment
This trial compares using two clot-retrievers at the same time versus using just one to remove the clot in an acute ischemic stroke. It may help find a more effective approach to restore blood flow and improve recovery.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT05955326RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a stroke drug to improve recovery after ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether sovateltide is safe and can improve recovery in people with an acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on patients who start the study drug within 24 hours of symptom onset and do not have bleeding in the brain.
Guntur, Andhra PradeshAges 18–78 - NCT05999318Recruiting
Brain stimulation for language recovery after stroke
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (using magnetic pulses) to help people recover language after a left-side stroke. If you have aphasia from a recent first stroke, this treatment might boost your recovery.
ChangchunAges 35–75 - NCT06009315Recruiting
Stroke treatment outcome prediction study
This study looks at patients having a stroke procedure to remove a clot. It aims to predict how well people recover. If you are having this treatment, the study might help doctors understand your likely outcome.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06010641Recruiting
Head-down position for stroke from large artery blockage
This trial tests if lying with the head lower than the body (head-down position) can help people who are having a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if this simple position improves blood flow and reduces disability.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06010628RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase for stroke 4.5 to 6 hours after onset
This trial tests a medicine called tenecteplase (a clot-buster) for people who have a moderate or severe stroke caused by a clot and can be treated 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It aims to see if this medicine can help improve recovery.
Shenyang, None SelectedAges 18 years+ - NCT06045156Recruiting
Tirofiban after clot-busting for stroke
This trial tests whether giving tirofiban (a blood thinner) shortly after the standard clot-busting drug tenecteplase can improve recovery from a moderate stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last few hours and do not have certain risk factors like irregular heart rhythm or recent bleeding.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT06052969Recruiting
Pulse NanoMED MicroBeads after clot removal for stroke
This trial tests a new treatment called Pulse NanoMED MicroBeads for people who still have a blocked brain artery after a standard clot removal procedure (mechanical thrombectomy). The goal is to see if these tiny beads can clear the remaining blockage and improve blood flow to the brain.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT06059144RecruitingPhase 3
