This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07118345Recruiting
Checking if early skull surgery helps after a major stroke
This study looks at whether doing a surgery to remove part of the skull (decompressive hemicraniectomy) soon after removing a large blood clot from the brain helps people who have had a very severe stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery and have already had a procedure to open that artery.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06920303Recruiting
Comparing two tests for stroke diagnosis
This trial compares a non-invasive ultrasound test (Transcranial Colour Coded Duplex) to a CT angiography scan for diagnosing stroke. It may help find a simpler and safer way to assess strokes and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes).
SohagAges Any age - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07084012RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for recent stroke
This trial tests whether a single infusion of umbilical cord stem cells can help people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (stroke caused by a clot). It is for patients who have had their stroke within the last 72 hours and have moderate to severe symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07079345Recruiting
Brain imaging study for stroke patients with severe carotid narrowing
This study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to measure blood flow and sugar use in the brain. It is for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year due to a severely narrowed carotid artery.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07045987Enrolling by invitation
Early warning for futile clot removal in stroke
This study looks at how to predict when a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) might not work well for acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to build an early warning system so doctors can better decide on treatment.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07043413Recruiting
Blood clot analysis after stroke treatment
This trial studies blood clots removed from stroke patients to understand them better. If you had a stroke caused by a clot and it was taken out with a special procedure, you may be able to join.
Seoul, Jong-ro GuAges Any age - NCT07004673Recruiting
PET/MR imaging for carotid artery plaque risk
This trial uses special PET/MR scans to look at fatty buildup in your neck arteries to see which ones might be dangerous. It could help doctors better understand your stroke risk and choose the right treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06990867RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Improving blood flow recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new approach to restore blood flow in the brain after a stroke. It aims to improve recovery and brain function in people with a blocked large artery.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05545605Recruiting
Sodium oligomannate to prevent thinking problems after stroke
This trial tests whether sodium oligomannate can help prevent or lessen memory and thinking problems that can happen after a first stroke. It may help people who are recently hospitalized for ischemic stroke and have mild cognitive decline risk.
Guangzhou, BaiyunAges 18–80 - 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.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT04624295RecruitingPhase 4
Aspirin soon after certain bleeding stroke, after clot-busting therapy
This trial studies whether starting aspirin early is safe and helpful for people who, after clot-busting treatment for an ischemic stroke, develop a specific type of small brain bleeding called hemorrhagic infarction. You might benefit if your scan later shows this pattern of bleeding and you are not able to take blood-thinners or aspirin is safe for you.
HangzhouAges Any age - NCT06924996Enrolling by invitation
Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05893407Recruiting
Ultrasound test of brain blood flow in ICU injury
This trial tests whether a contrast-enhanced ultrasound can measure blood flow in the brain of people admitted to the ICU for a sudden brain injury. It may help doctors better assess brain damage and guide care using a bedside imaging method.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06904911RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tenecteplase into the artery after clot removal for stroke
This study tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given directly into the artery after a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal). The goal is to see if it helps improve blood flow to the small vessels in the brain after the main clot is removed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06899711Recruiting
A helmet after skull surgery to prevent sunken flap
This study tests whether wearing a custom-made external helmet after a large skull removal surgery can prevent the skin from sinking in. If you've had this surgery in the last two weeks and are being treated at a Johns Hopkins hospital, you may be eligible.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06883110Recruiting
Testing traditional Chinese medicine for recent stroke
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine (Angong Niuhuang pill) made from different sources of a natural ingredient can help people who recently had a moderate stroke caused by a blood clot. It aims to see if the pill can improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06843356Recruiting
Rescue artery-opening procedure for delayed stroke worsening
This study tests whether an emergency procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain can help people whose stroke starts mild but then suddenly gets worse days later. The goal is to see if this treatment can limit further brain damage and improve recovery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06757764RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke from artery narrowing: testing combination of anti-platelet drugs
This trial tests whether a combination of two or three anti-platelet medicines (like aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol) is safe and works better than one alone for people who had a stroke from a narrowed artery. The goal is to prevent another stroke.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 20 years+ - NCT06733246Recruiting
Ceretrieve Device for acute ischemic stroke treatment
This study tests a new device called Ceretrieve that is designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain for people having a severe ischemic stroke. If you are eligible, you will receive the device treatment (a mechanical thrombectomy) within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05004233Recruiting
