CambridgeAges 18–99 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07016854Recruiting
Early treatment for blocked carotid artery stroke
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07157475Recruiting
Blood vessel complications after leg artery procedures with SGLT2 inhibitors
This study looks at how a type of medicine called SGLT2 inhibitors (used for diabetes, kidney disease, or heart issues) affects blood vessel complications in people who have had a leg procedure to improve blood flow. It compares patients taking the medicine to those who are not.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07324226Recruiting
Heat and acupressure on neck for brain blood flow
This study tests whether applying gentle heat and acupressure (a type of finger pressure) to the side of the neck can increase blood flow to the brain in healthy adults. It may help researchers understand simple ways to support brain health.
Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-doAges 40–65 - NCT07402954Recruiting
Test of lidocaine infusion for severe migraine or face pain
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into a small artery in the face (the external carotid artery) can help people with hard-to-treat chronic migraines or persistent face/skull pain. It is for those who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT07430839Recruiting
Exercise and artery health in metabolic syndrome
This study looks at how exercise affects the arteries in people with metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and unhealthy cholesterol). It may help find ways to improve heart health.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–40 - NCT07550400Recruiting
Ultrasound Imaging to Guide Septic Shock Treatment
This study tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
CairoAges 18–50 - 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+ - NCT05892510RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tenecteplase after clot removal for no-reflow stroke
This trial tests whether giving tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a thrombectomy can improve outcomes when blood flow doesn’t fully return (“no-reflow”) in an emergency stroke. It may help some people by reducing ongoing clot-related blockage after the main clot is removed.
Gold Coast, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT04558450Recruiting
Study how COVID-19 affects blood vessel stiffness and aging
This study looks at how having COVID-19 may affect your blood vessels over the following months. It may help doctors understand long-term “vascular aging” and who is most at risk, based on how sick you were during your COVID illness.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06473272Recruiting
Ultrasound to study neck artery plaques and predict risk
This study uses different ultrasound techniques to look at plaques in the neck artery and predict future heart or stroke events. It may help doctors understand which plaques are more dangerous.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–100 - NCT06949228RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Intra-Arterial Tenecteplase After Clot Removal for Stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.
