Comparing ticagrelor and cilostazol for large-vessel stroke
This trial compares two antiplatelet drugs (ticagrelor and cilostazol) to see which is better at preventing another stroke in people who have had a large-vessel ischemic stroke. Both drugs help keep blood clots from forming, and the study aims to find the safest and most effective option for patients who cannot receive clot-busting medication.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06210633Recruiting
Clot removal trial for very large strokes
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
Xiangtan, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06273475Recruiting
Robot-assisted training vs standard training for stroke recovery
This trial compares robot-assisted training to standard training to help people with stroke improve their walking and movement. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still have moderate to severe disability.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06292117Recruiting
Genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy for stroke patients
This trial tests whether using a rapid genetic test to choose antiplatelet medication can improve outcomes for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke. The test checks a gene that affects how your body processes a common antiplatelet drug, so your doctors can pick the safest and most effective medicine for you.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06320431RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug for disabling stroke within 4.5 hours
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people having a disabling ischemic stroke (a clot blocking blood flow to the brain). It aims to see if the drug can help improve recovery when given within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
Sydney, BarangarooAges 18 years+ - NCT06360120RecruitingPhase 3
Clopidogrel plus a statin for large-vessel stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding clopidogrel (a blood thinner) to atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (cholesterol-lowering drugs) helps people who had a first-time large-vessel ischemic stroke. It aims to find the best way to prevent another stroke.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06401564Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab after ischemic stroke
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercises in the hospital can help people recover arm movement and function after an ischemic stroke. You may be a candidate if you have weakness in one arm and can follow directions.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06456437Recruiting
Testing a new technique after clot removal for stroke
This trial tests if a special technique called 'ischemic post-conditioning' can improve recovery after a large vessel stroke. It is for people who have had a major blockage in a brain artery that was successfully opened with a clot retrieval procedure.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06486792RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention in patients with hidden atrial fibrillation
