Recruiting studies
- NCT06560203Recruiting
Basilar artery stroke trial for later treatment
This trial tests if endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot) can help people who have had a stroke in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and can be treated within 72 hours, even if they are not eligible for clot-dissolving medicine. The treatment may improve recovery compared to standard care alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06635902RecruitingPhase 2
Citrulline for sickle cell pain crisis
This trial tests if an intravenous medication called L-citrulline can help treat pain crises in children and young adults with sickle cell disease. Participants receive either the study drug or a placebo while in the hospital for a severe pain episode.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4–21 - NCT06654375Recruiting
Late stroke treatment with clot removal or medication
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06655922Recruiting
FAPI scan to assess chronic total heart artery blockages
This study is testing whether a special type of PET scan (called FAPI) can better see and understand fully blocked heart arteries (chronic total occlusions). If you're scheduled to have angioplasty to open such a blockage, this imaging might help guide the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03756870Recruiting
Stent procedure vs best medical care for blocked heart arteries
This trial studies whether opening a completely blocked heart artery (a CTO) with a procedure and stent helps reduce areas of low blood flow in the heart, compared with the best medicines alone. It uses heart scans to find people likely to benefit and then checks results again at 6 months.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06758609Recruiting
Brain cooling plus clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests a new treatment that combines cooling the brain with a catheter and removing the clot to restore blood flow — for people who have had a major stroke in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT06773715Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain from sickle cell disease
This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) can help children and teens with sickle cell disease feel better during a severe pain episode. You would use VR while in the hospital to see if it reduces your pain.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 8–21 - NCT06812455RecruitingPhase 4
Rivaroxaban for blood clot after heart catheterization
This trial tests if a blood thinner called Rivaroxaban can treat a blood clot that forms in the wrist artery after a heart catheterization. If you have this clot, taking Rivaroxaban may help reopen the artery and improve blood flow.
ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT06813651RecruitingPhase 2
TBO-309 for stroke with tandem blockage
This trial tests whether adding TBO-309 to standard treatment helps people having a stroke caused by two blockages (one in the neck, one in the brain). It may limit brain damage and improve recovery.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06924593Recruiting
Shunt for carotid artery narrowing
This study tests a new device that is placed through the carotid artery in the neck to temporarily block blood flow during a procedure to open up a narrowed carotid artery. It might be an option for people who have high-risk features that make traditional surgery more challenging.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06959628Recruiting
Study of a new shunt system for carotid artery blockage treatment
This trial tests a special shunt system to protect your brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people with severe blockages in the neck artery that supplies blood to the brain.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06981624Recruiting
Comparing routine vs. selective heparin to prevent artery blockage after catheter procedure
This trial tests whether giving a blood-thinner called heparin to all patients during a procedure through the wrist (radial artery) is better than giving it only when needed. The goal is to see which approach reduces the risk of the artery getting blocked afterward.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06982898Recruiting
Digital jaw recording for missing back teeth
This study tests a new digital method to record how your upper and lower jaws fit together when you are missing back teeth. It may help make your dental treatment more accurate and comfortable.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07001189Recruiting
Numbing for sickle cell pain crisis: a study
This trial tests whether numbing a specific area (regional anesthesia) can reduce inflammation and pain during a sickle cell pain crisis. It may offer a new way to manage severe pain without strong medications.
Pointe-à-PitreAges 18 years+ - NCT07020858Recruiting
FAPI imaging for heart attack risk in blocked arteries
This trial tests whether a special scan called FAPI-PET can predict heart problems in people with a chronic total occlusion (a completely blocked heart artery for at least 3 months). If you have this type of blockage and are planning to have a procedure to open it, this study may help guide your care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07047014RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for medium vessel occlusion stroke (ARTS trial)
This trial tests the clot-busting drug tenecteplase in people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago due to a medium-sized artery blockage. It aims to see if this medication can improve outcomes without needing a procedure to remove the clot.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07073040Recruiting
Cold plasma therapy for diabetic foot ulcers with blocked arteries
This trial tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma (a gentle gas treatment) to a standard procedure that opens blocked leg arteries can help diabetic foot ulcers heal better and faster.
Anshan, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07090551Recruiting
Mouthguard for jaw and neck muscle pain from grinding
