Tenecteplase for mild stroke within 4.5 hours
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for patients having a mild stroke (with weakness on one side or trouble speaking) who can get treatment within 4.5 hours. The goal is to see if this drug helps improve blood flow and reduces disability.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03485040Recruiting
Rehab study for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a rehabilitation approach to help people recover arm movement after an ischemic or bleeding stroke. You may be able to join if you’re currently an inpatient in the stroke neurology unit and have arm weakness but are medically stable and able to follow simple instructions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT05437237Recruiting
AI test to triage stroke patients using EEG in ambulances
This study tests an AI computer algorithm that helps decide how urgently a person with suspected stroke should be treated, using a special brain-wave test (EEG) in the ambulance. It may help teams spot certain stroke patterns faster and route patients to the right care sooner.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05697575Recruiting
Staphylokinase during stroke blood-flow treatment
This trial studies using a medication called non-immunogenic staphylokinase as part of standard clot-busting treatment for an acute ischemic stroke. It may help clinicians improve blood flow after the stroke using an approach designed to be less likely to trigger immune reactions.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–85 - NCT06665386Recruiting
Cooling infusion with clot removal for severe stroke
This study tests whether cooling the brain during clot removal (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a severe stroke caused by a large blood vessel blockage. Researchers will use blood tests to find markers that may predict who benefits most.
Dalian, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06881420Recruiting
New stroke treatment study for blocked arteries
This study tests a special technique called BASIS to treat strokes caused by a buildup of plaque in the brain's large arteries. It may help people who have had a stroke from this condition and are treated within 72 hours.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06930638RecruitingPhase 2
MitoQ and leg conditioning for stroke recovery
This study tests whether a supplement called MitoQ and a special leg-pumping technique can improve blood vessel health in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may help your body recover better after a stroke.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT07092709RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke patients who recently took blood thinners
