Recruiting studies
- NCT04602325Recruiting
Blood and brain injury biomarker study for inherited metabolic disorders
This trial studies blood and other measurable signs (biomarkers) that may reflect brain injury after certain inherited metabolic conditions. Results may help doctors better detect and understand brain effects from these illnesses, especially episodes that affect the brain.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7–18 - NCT04620642Recruiting
Registry for adults treated with clot-busting or clot removal
This trial is a registry that collects information from adults who were hospitalized for an ischemic stroke and received either clot-busting medicine or a procedure to remove the clot. It may help doctors better understand stroke treatments and outcomes.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04621279Recruiting
Cooling treatment study for babies with mild brain injury
This study compares different approaches to “cooling” treatment in newborns with mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (mild brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth). The goal is to see which approach works best and is safest for babies like yours.
Dallas, TexasAges 8 months+ - 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 - NCT04630535Recruiting
Using brief arm treatment before bypass surgery
This trial studies whether a simple, remote “arm treatment” given before scheduled aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery can help protect blood flow during surgery. If you fit the surgery plan and don’t have certain excluded conditions, the study may offer an added protective approach.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT04651010Recruiting
MRI study to predict outcomes after clot removal in stroke
This study uses special MRI scans to look for patterns that may predict recovery after a specific type of stroke caused by a blocked brain artery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment and better understand who benefits most from clot removal.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT04674449Recruiting
Tests a targeted plan for people with chest pain from heart artery disease
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04753840Recruiting
Remote arm conditioning and mindfulness for mild high blood pressure
This trial studies whether doing “remote ischemic preconditioning” (repeated brief conditioning of a limb) and mindfulness helps people with mild high blood pressure over the long term. It may help lower blood pressure and improve heart-related health, if you can safely do the required activities.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT04827316Recruiting
Use CT heart scans to predict outcomes and guide care
This study looks at people who are having a CT scan of their heart because it’s medically needed. Researchers will use the scan results to better predict future cardiovascular outcomes and improve how care decisions are made.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04862507Recruiting
Thrombectomy treatment for severe stroke with low ASPECTS
This trial studies an approach for removing a blockage using thrombectomy in people with an acute ischemic stroke that shows a low ASPECTS score. It may help restore blood flow in strokes that have significant early changes on brain imaging.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT04897334Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus rehab to improve thinking after stroke
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–90 - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04916197RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine sedation after stroke clot removal
This Phase 4 study tests whether using a specific calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) for a longer period after a successful clot-removal procedure helps people do better in the long term. It may help improve outcomes after ischemic stroke where the clot is successfully treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04927156Recruiting
Check safety and use of Balt medical devices after treatment
This post-marketing study follows people after they receive Balt medical devices to make sure the devices are safe, work well, and are easy to use in real life. You may be considered if you can consent and your procedure matches their device-use rules.
AngersAges 2 years+ - NCT04942041Recruiting
Thrombectomy for large stroke blockages at low-volume centers
This study tests whether using a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy at smaller stroke centers can improve outcomes after a large-vessel stroke. It may help people who have a major artery blockage get timely treatment, with measured effects on complications and survival.
Kristiansand, AgderAges 18–100 - NCT04945174Recruiting
Stroke prevention program with exercise and education
This trial tests a structured “stroke school” program that includes supervised physical activity, education, and follow-up coaching to help reduce future stroke and heart problems. It may help people with minor stroke or a TIA who don’t need rehabilitation but do need safer ways to be more active.
Copenhagen, HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT04956185Recruiting
Collecting hospital data from people with stroke
This study collects information from people admitted to the stroke care team or neurology during their hospital stay. It may help improve stroke care by understanding patient conditions and hospital experiences.
Ghent, FlandersAges Any age - NCT04971564Recruiting
Blood inflammation test study in sudden brain oxygen loss
This trial looks at blood “inflammation-related” biomarkers to understand what happens early after certain sudden brain events. It may help doctors predict outcomes and tailor treatment for people like those with stroke types that sometimes need a clot-removal procedure.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT04975646Recruiting
Goal-setting tool for upper-arm spasticity treatment
This study looks at whether a structured goal-setting approach helps measure and improve treatment for stiff, tight upper-arm muscles after a stroke. It tests how well patients’ (or caregivers’) goals can be tracked when receiving or considering botulinum toxin (BTX-A).
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT05004233Recruiting
Antiplatelet treatment imaging test for stroke patients
This study uses special microscope imaging (transmission electron microscopy) to look at tiny changes in platelets before and after starting an antiplatelet medicine. It’s testing whether platelets show clear structural signs around the start of treatment for a specific type of stroke.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT05044208Recruiting
Test heart ultrasound and monitoring clues for atrial fibrillation
This study looks at heart ultrasound pictures and heart-rhythm recordings to predict who may develop atrial fibrillation (AF) after a stroke or TIA. If you qualify, your results may help doctors better spot people at higher risk earlier.
TullnAges 18 years+ - NCT05048004Recruiting
Test of a heart procedure during atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial studies whether adding a specific technique during a first-time catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation can improve safety or outcomes. It may help doctors understand risks related to small blood clots during the procedure.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05113043Recruiting
Study links gut changes with stroke in younger adults
This study looks at whether differences in gut bacteria (microecology) are linked to stroke in adults ages 18–45. You may be asked to provide stool (fecal) samples soon after admission to help researchers understand possible connections.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT05124249Recruiting
Imaging tests to evaluate clogged heart arteries
This study looks at how well special heart imaging and pressure-based tests can evaluate coronary artery disease (clogged heart arteries). If you had testing for suspected heart artery disease, the study may help doctors compare how these measurements work.
