Artery health after stroke and rehabilitation
This study looks at how well your arteries are working after a stroke and how rehabilitation may help. It uses a simple, painless test (pulse wave velocity) to check artery stiffness.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT07356284RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment study for blocked arteries with narrowing
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07294274Recruiting
Predicting depression risk after a stroke
This study creates a tool to predict if someone might develop depression after an ischemic stroke. It aims to help doctors identify and support patients who are at higher risk.
ChongqingAges Any age - NCT06541691Recruiting
Aspirin for heart disease patients in polluted air
This study tests if different types of aspirin (coated or chewable) and a special schedule can help people with heart or blood vessel disease when they are exposed to air pollution. If you live in Tehran and have stable heart disease, you may be able to join.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07156955Recruiting
Arm movement training after stroke
This trial tests a training program that uses your sense of arm position to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help if you have trouble feeling where your arm is in space.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07134777Recruiting
Visual Training After Stroke: Restoring Sight
This study uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT06813651RecruitingPhase 2
TBO-309 for stroke with tandem blockage
This trial tests whether adding TBO-309 to standard treatment helps people having a stroke caused by two blockages (one in the neck, one in the brain). It may limit brain damage and improve recovery.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04130503Recruiting
Breathing device study after a recent ischemic stroke
This study looks at whether using a PAP breathing machine soon after an ischemic stroke helps sleep and recovery. It focuses on people who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed around the time of their stroke.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04475510Recruiting
Stop blood-thinner therapy after PFO closure in younger stroke patients
This trial tests whether it’s safe to stop antithrombotic (blood-thinner) treatment after a successful hole-in-the-heart procedure (PFO closure) in people age 60 and under who had an unexplained stroke or TIA. It may help some people avoid long-term blood-thinner side effects if their risk stays low.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT06474507Recruiting
Calculus Bovis Sativus for Stroke Recovery
