Stroke code study in Villavicencio hospitals
This trial looks at using a stroke code system in hospitals to improve care for people having a stroke. You may be able to join if you are an adult diagnosed with a stroke by exam and CT scan, as long as it's not caused by injury.
Villavicencio, Meta DepartmentAges 40–100 - NCT07203625RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase before transfer for basilar artery stroke
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called Tenecteplase helps people with a severe type of stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) when given 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. Patients will then be moved to a hospital that can remove the clot. The goal is to see if the drug improves recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07197918Recruiting
Finding brain injury with a portable MRI after cardiac arrest
This study uses a portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in people who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored (ROSC) from a cardiac arrest. If you are having a standard MRI and being treated with temperature control, you may be eligible.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07181356Recruiting
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Heart Attack Recovery
This study tests whether a simple, noninvasive procedure called Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) — where a blood pressure cuff is briefly tightened on an arm or leg — can improve long-term recovery for people who have had a heart attack. The treatment is done many times over a long period to see if it helps the heart heal and reduces future problems.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07172789Recruiting
Head down position before clot removal for large stroke
This trial tests whether a specific head-down position before a clot removal procedure improves outcomes for people with a large vessel occlusion stroke. It is for patients who have a confirmed blockage and can wait a short time before the procedure.
Shenyang, None SelectedAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07163338Recruiting
Antiphospholipid syndrome in older stroke patients
This study looks for a blood clotting disorder called antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) in people aged 65 and older who have had a stroke or a mini-stroke (TIA). The goal is to understand how common APS is in this group and if it affects recovery.
ReimsAges 65 years+ - NCT07156955Recruiting
Arm movement training after stroke
This trial tests a training program that uses your sense of arm position to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help if you have trouble feeling where your arm is in space.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07149714Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07145294RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy to improve thinking after stroke
This trial tests whether tiny particles from stem cells can help people recover thinking and memory after a recent stroke. Doctors will check if the treatment is safe and if it boosts brain function.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07151677Recruiting
Brain stimulation for fatigue and aphasia after stroke
This study tests whether a mild brain stimulation technique can help reduce fatigue and improve language in people who have had a stroke and now have aphasia. It's for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still feel tired or have trouble speaking.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07136636Recruiting
Speech development in kids treated for brain injury at birth
This study looks at how children who had a brain injury around birth (HIE) and received cooling therapy are developing speech. It may help families understand language outcomes after this treatment.
BudapestAges birth–7 years - NCT07137832RecruitingPhase 3
Testing clot-busting drug during stroke treatment for medium vessel blockages
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07141303RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid after stroke clot removal for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion
This trial tests if giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into the brain artery after successful clot removal improves recovery. It is for people who had a large stroke in the front part of the brain and got the clot out within 24 hours.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07133984Recruiting
Heart imaging study for patients with low heart function and coronary artery disease
This study uses cardiac MRI to look at the heart in people with weakened heart muscle and blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors improve treatments like bypass surgery or stents.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07135310Recruiting
Stroke 120 action for faster treatment
This trial tests a program called STROKE 120 that teaches communities in China how to recognize stroke symptoms and call an ambulance quickly. The goal is to see if it helps people get to the hospital within 4.5 hours, which can lead to better recovery.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07134777Recruiting
Visual Training After Stroke: Restoring Sight
This study uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–80 - 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 - NCT07115940Recruiting
Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients
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 - NCT06963489Recruiting
Stroke biobank study for large vessel blockage
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people who had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain. The goal is to learn more about the condition by studying these samples over time.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT07113067RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Accelerated rTMS for Stroke Apathy
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called rTMS to see if it can help reduce apathy (lack of motivation) after a stroke. You would receive either real rTMS or a sham (fake) treatment over several sessions.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 40 years+ - NCT07111559RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing clot-busting drug versus two blood thinners for small stroke
This study tests whether a clot-busting drug (rt-PA) or a combination of two blood thinners (DAPT) works better for people having a small stroke caused by a blocked tiny artery in the brain. It aims to find the safest and most effective treatment within the first few hours after symptoms start.
ChūōAges 18 years+ - NCT06920303Recruiting
