Study immune changes after stroke treatment
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds after an acute ischemic stroke that may be treated with a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. It may help doctors understand what immune changes happen after treatment and improve future care.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03268668Recruiting
Study brain clot makeup and blood markers after stroke
This study looks at the composition of a stroke blood clot and compares it with blood test results to understand treatment response, stroke cause, and prognosis. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care after ischemic stroke.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05199662RecruitingPhase 3
IV clot-busting medicine for stroke when standard options don’t fit
This trial tests whether giving IV TNK (tenecteplase) plus standard stroke care can improve outcomes in some people who have a new stroke but cannot get alteplase (another clot-busting drug) and do not have a large blocked artery that can be treated with a procedure. It’s meant for strokes with “mismatch” findings on scans that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06123650Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus therapy for swallowing after stroke
This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 49–65 - 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+ - NCT06817642Recruiting
Language recovery in stroke patients in intensive care
This study tests a new language assessment tool to predict how well stroke patients may recover their ability to speak and understand language. It may help identify who could benefit from early speech therapy.
CréteilAges 18–85 - NCT06959199Recruiting
Treating stroke beyond 24 hours with artery-opening procedure
This study tests whether opening a blocked large artery in the brain up to 5 days (or even 7 days if symptoms are worsening) after a stroke can improve outcomes. It uses a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) for people who have not responded to standard care and have limited brain damage so far.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05320263Recruiting
Thrombectomy timing: aspiration tube vs stent for basilar stroke
This trial compares two ways to remove a blockage in the brain’s basilar artery: suction (aspiration) versus a retriever stent. It may help doctors learn which approach works better for restoring blood flow in acute stroke patients.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06443268Recruiting
Stroke and quality of life study with caregivers
This study looks at quality of life for people who have had a recent stroke or mini-stroke, and their caregivers. You and a close relative or friend both take part in interviews and surveys over time.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07728539Recruiting
Comparing a faster ablation method for atrial fibrillation
This study compares a newer, faster type of ablation (high-power short-duration) with the standard approach for treating atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT07727395RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug after successful clot removal for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
An GiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06670456Recruiting
Brain Bleed Study (Without Surgery)
This study is for people who had a spontaneous brain bleed and did not have surgery. It aims to learn more about their recovery and health over time.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06691230Recruiting
Looking at blood flow after stroke clot removal
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05476913Recruiting
Preventing blood clots after stroke with a leg device
This study checks whether using a special device on the legs can help prevent dangerous blood clots after an acute stroke. You may be eligible if you recently had a stroke and you’re not able to get up and walk to the toilet without help.
Bury St Edmunds, SuffolkAges 18 years+ - NCT07247669Recruiting
AI phone triage for emergencies
This study tests if artificial intelligence can help identify time-sensitive emergencies like stroke, heart attack, or trouble breathing from recorded phone calls. The goal is to make emergency response faster and more accurate.
Málaga, MálagaAges Any age - NCT06920303Recruiting
Comparing two tests for stroke diagnosis
This trial compares a non-invasive ultrasound test (Transcranial Colour Coded Duplex) to a CT angiography scan for diagnosing stroke. It may help find a simpler and safer way to assess strokes and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes).
SohagAges Any age - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07016854Recruiting
Early treatment for blocked carotid artery stroke
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06949228RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Intra-Arterial Tenecteplase After Clot Removal for Stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT06936501Recruiting
Cooling sensation drink test for safe swallowing after stroke
This trial tests a cooling sensation drink to help stroke patients with swallowing problems safely take a high-calorie, high-protein supplement. It looks at whether the cooling sensation makes swallowing easier and safer.
