Paris, ParisAges 65 years+ - NCT05769036Recruiting
Biventricular vs left bundle pacing for heart failure outcomes
This trial compares two types of heart pacing to see which improves outcomes for people with heart failure. It may help those who need pacing to better coordinate heartbeats and relieve symptoms.
TomskAges 18–80 - NCT06473207Recruiting
Can a blood pressure cuff protect the brain after cardiac arrest?
This trial tests if a special blood pressure cuff (like a tourniquet) placed on the leg can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for patients who are unconscious and on a breathing machine after their heart restarts.
Toulon, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT06440707RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT04779008Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to help blood flow after heart bypass
This trial studies whether a simple, at-home type of treatment using brief arm blood-flow changes can improve blood flow to the heart and outcomes after CABG (heart bypass surgery). It may help some people recover better by protecting the heart around the time of surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06388148Recruiting
Clot removal for very large strokes
This trial tests a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain (mechanical thrombectomy) for people who have a very large stroke. It aims to see if removing the clot can improve recovery, even for those with severe strokes.
Hengyang, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06394180Recruiting
Study of perforations during clot removal for stroke
This trial looks at what happens when a hole (perforation) occurs in a brain artery during clot removal for stroke. It compares patients who had this complication to those who did not, to understand how to better manage it.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06138873Recruiting
Study of scar-guided ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This trial is testing a new approach to treating a fast, dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that comes from scar tissue in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to use a special mapping technique to guide the ablation (a procedure that destroys the tiny area causing the problem) to stop the arrhythmia.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05808686RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise-based training for circulation in older, frail adults
This study tests a special exercise training approach to help small blood vessels work better and improve resilience in frail older adults. If you join, you’ll do training that may involve temporary blood-flow restriction, so safety rules are important.
Wauwatosa, WisconsinAges 65–85 - NCT06297863RecruitingPhase 2
Head-down position to improve blood flow in stroke
This study tests whether lying with your head tilted down 15 degrees can improve blood flow to the brain during a stroke. It is for people who have a clot in the middle cerebral artery and are already getting a procedure to remove the clot.
AvezzanoAges 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+ - NCT06294028Recruiting
Ablation vs Defibrillator for Well-Tolerated Fast Heartbeat
This study compares two treatments for a fast heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia in people with prior heart attacks and relatively preserved heart function: one uses heat energy (ablation) to fix the electrical problem, and the other places an implantable defibrillator that shocks the heart to restore normal rhythm. The goal is to find which approach works better for people whose symptoms are well-tolerated.
Toulouse, FranceAges 18–90 - NCT05068674RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell heart muscle therapy for weak heart after prior heart attack
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment made from stem cells to grow heart muscle cells (“cardiomyocytes”) for people with long-lasting (chronic) heart weakness after a prior heart attack. It aims to see if the therapy can improve heart function and is safe in carefully selected patients.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - 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+ - NCT06258447Recruiting
CardiAMP bone marrow cell therapy for heart failure
This trial tests a new treatment using your own bone marrow cells to help your heart pump better. It's for people with heart failure after a heart attack whose heart function is moderately reduced.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 21–90 - NCT06236633Recruiting
Blocking an artery before rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a technique called ischemic preconditioning, where doctors temporarily block a main artery in your gut before rectal cancer surgery to see if it helps reduce complications. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery and meet the health criteria, the study may offer more information about safer recovery.
