Stroke Risk Assessment for Brain Artery Narrowing
This study looks at a new way to measure stroke risk in people with a specific type of brain artery narrowing (atherosclerosis) in the front part of the brain. You might participate if you have this condition and are willing to have imaging tests and take standard medicines.
Beijing, Xicheng DistrictAges 18–80 - NCT07576647Recruiting
Improving stroke research recruitment for better outcomes
This study aims to make stroke research more inclusive by improving recruitment methods. It includes people with suspected TIA or minor stroke seen in urgent clinics, as well as those hospitalized for ischemic stroke or bleeding in the brain.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT06963489Recruiting
Stroke biobank study for large vessel blockage
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people who had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain. The goal is to learn more about the condition by studying these samples over time.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT06763458Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty for minor unstable stroke with brain artery narrowing
This trial tests if balloon angioplasty (opening a narrowed artery with a tiny balloon) can help people who have had a minor stroke and are still having symptoms despite taking blood thinners.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06727097Recruiting
Post-Stroke Sensory Reweighting on Walking and Balance
This study is for people who have had their first stroke and are now recovering. It looks at how your brain uses different senses—like vision and touch—to help you walk and keep your balance. The goal is to find better ways to improve your walking and balance after a stroke.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06943586Recruiting
Stroke genetics: testing a heart medicine's fit
This trial tests whether a quick genetic test can help choose the right antiplatelet medicine for people who have had a mild stroke or a high-risk mini-stroke (TIA). The goal is to see if this personalized approach is possible in a hospital setting.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–89 - NCT04118790Recruiting
MRI study of brain microstructure after stroke
This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
Copenhagen, København NVAges 18 years+ - NCT07237308RecruitingPhase 4
Two blood thinners compared for stroke with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether a common blood thinner (apixaban) alone is as safe and effective as combining it with another drug (clopidogrel) to prevent future strokes in people who have both atrial fibrillation and narrowing in the arteries leading to the brain. It aims to find the best way to reduce stroke risk while minimizing bleeding.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05878002Recruiting
Tests thinking, movement, and sleep after clot removal stroke
This study looks at thinking skills, body movement, and sleep patterns in adults after a specific type of stroke treated with a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen after treatment and how to measure them.
