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.
GwangjuAges 18 years+ - NCT03563417Recruiting
CTO treatment vs medicines after heart scan
This trial studies whether opening a blocked coronary artery (a CTO) helps people more than staying on the best available heart medicines after an initial 3-month treatment period. It uses heart imaging to confirm there is reduced blood flow in the area supplied by the blockage.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04451265Recruiting
MRI test study for suspected anterior optic nerve stroke
This study checks how well a special MRI scan (diffusion-weighted imaging) can identify a specific optic nerve problem called anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (when blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced). If you have symptoms that suggest this condition, the trial compares your MRI findings to doctors’ assessment to see if the scan helps confirm the diagnosis.
Lille, LilleAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT04887688Recruiting
Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04800276Recruiting
Exercise program for leg artery disease
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with leg pain when walking caused by narrowed leg arteries. The goal is to see if exercise can improve walking ability and quality of life.
Le MansAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04562194Recruiting
Registry study for people already treated with NeVa thrombectomy
