Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06995625RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell particles for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles can help people recover after a moderate to severe stroke. You may join if you had a stroke in the last 5 days and still have arm or leg weakness, even after standard treatments like clot-busting drugs or clot removal.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06994975RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke drug test for patients who missed the 4.5 hour window
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It uses a special CT scan to see if the treatment can still help them.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07003113Recruiting
Blood flow therapy for knee and back pain
This study tests a treatment called ischemic preconditioning, which uses a blood pressure cuff to temporarily restrict blood flow to your leg. It may help reduce pain from osteoarthritis in the knee or chronic back pain.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06768138RecruitingPhase 3
Giving clot-busting medicine directly into the brain after successful blood flow restoration
This trial tests whether a clot-busting drug given directly into the brain artery can improve recovery after a major stroke caused by a blockage in the front part of the brain. The study is for people whose blood flow has already been successfully restored with standard treatments.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06977230Recruiting
Arm-cuff protection before heart bypass in diabetes
This study tests whether a simple arm-cuff procedure done before heart bypass surgery can help protect the heart in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if this technique reduces complications during and after the operation.
MuğlaAges 45–85 - NCT06956521RecruitingPhase 1
Magnesium during clot removal for severe stroke
This trial tests whether giving magnesium directly into the artery during mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain) improves recovery after a severe ischemic stroke. Magnesium may help protect brain cells from further damage after the clot is removed.
Houston, TexasAges 21–95 - NCT06930092Recruiting
Stents to improve heart function in heart failure
This study tests whether opening blocked heart arteries with stents can improve heart function in people with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease. It may be an option if your heart is weak and you have multiple blockages but no recent heart attack or dangerous rhythm.
Seoul, Chongno-guAges 19 years+ - NCT06930638RecruitingPhase 2
