Suita, OsakaAges Any age - NCT06500728Recruiting
Vision involvement in giant cell arteritis
This study looks at how vision is affected in people with giant cell arteritis (GCA) -- a condition where blood vessels become inflamed. It compares those with GCA-related vision loss to people who have similar vision problems but not from GCA, to better understand and treat these eye issues.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07800572RecruitingPhase 2
Study of anisodine for stroke patients after clot removal
This trial tests whether adding anisodine, a medicine that may protect brain cells, helps people recover better after a stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It is given after a procedure to remove the clot.
AnyangAges 18–80 - NCT07776873RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting medicine for stroke symptoms 4.5 to 24 hours
This study tests a clot-busting medicine given through an IV to people who had a stroke caused by a blocked medium-sized blood vessel in the brain, and who can be treated 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. The goal is to see if it improves recovery and reduces disability compared to standard care.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06556446Recruiting
Clot-busting drug after stroke if on blood thinner
This study looks at whether giving a clot-busting medicine (IV thrombolysis) is safe and effective for people who have had a stroke and also recently took a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). If you've taken a DOAC in the last 48 hours, this trial may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05645081Recruiting
Blood test study to predict stroke risk after TIA
This trial studies tiny particles in your blood (called extracellular vesicles) to understand and predict stroke risk after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like episode). It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk using blood samples, rather than only symptoms and scans.
Merthyr TydfilAges 18 years+ - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06584565Recruiting
Predicting stroke recovery and risk using blood and stool tests
This study uses advanced analysis of your blood and stool samples to better predict how you will recover from a stroke and whether it might happen again. It aims to help doctors personalize your care after a stroke.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07756775Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for stroke diagnosis
This study compares two imaging methods, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without contrast dye and a carotid ultrasound (Doppler), to see which one is better at finding blocked arteries in the neck that can cause strokes. The results may help doctors choose the best test for people who have had a stroke or a mini-stroke.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07746947Recruiting
Stroke treatment study for medium-sized vessel blockages
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from medium-sized brain arteries works for people who have had a severe stroke. It may help improve recovery by treating blockages that are not in the largest arteries.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–85 - NCT07747701Recruiting
Monitoring brain blood flow after stroke treatment to predict recovery
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
