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+ - NCT06383182Recruiting
Study of blood markers after stroke artery treatment
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
ShenyangAges 18–80 - NCT06370182Recruiting
New catheter for clot removal in disabling stroke
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 22–85 - NCT06377033Recruiting
Using health records to advance genomic medicine for all
This study uses electronic health records to learn how to improve genomic medicine across a diverse health system. It may help make DNA-based healthcare more accessible and effective for people with certain conditions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06358313RecruitingPhase 3
Clopidogrel with statins for small vessel stroke
This study tests if combining the blood thinner clopidogrel with either atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (both cholesterol-lowering drugs) works better for people who have had a mild first-time stroke in the small blood vessels of the brain. The goal is to find a safe and effective treatment regimen.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06352619Recruiting
Lowering blood pressure after clot removal for stroke
This trial tests whether lowering blood pressure soon after a clot-removal procedure for stroke can improve recovery. It is for people whose blood pressure remains high after the procedure.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06308952RecruitingPhase 4
Atorvastatin before flow diverter for brain aneurysms
This trial tests whether taking atorvastatin before a flow diverter procedure can prevent strokes or other brain events in people with unruptured brain aneurysms. It may help reduce complications from the treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06027294Recruiting
Blood flow and muscle function study for stroke survivors
This study looks at how blood flow affects muscle function after a stroke. It may help researchers understand recovery better and find new ways to improve movement.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06286800Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06253000Recruiting
Heat vs. Freezing for the Back of the Heart
This trial tests two ways to treat the back wall of the heart's left chamber in people with stubborn atrial fibrillation. It compares radiofrequency (heat) and cryoablation (freezing) to see which is safer and works better.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06241677Recruiting
Clot-busting therapy for stroke patients on blood thinners
This study tests whether giving a clot-busting medicine through an IV can help people who have had a stroke while taking a common blood thinner (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban). It may be an option if your last dose of the blood thinner was 12 to 48 hours before the stroke and you arrive at the hospital within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT03318432Recruiting
